I'd love for you to send me the links. That sucks cause i love soy milk but i don't drink it all the time anyway, i just love the chocolate one. and i didn't know tofu was made of soy beans but i was planning on making stuff with that also but that's okay, as long as i find other things i can make that doesn't have soy im good. i will still drink my milk and yogurt, just not much. It's funny cause the yogurt i got, it's called Whole Soy & Co is vegan but it's the only yogurt i can eat, other yogurts just taste weird to me, i dont like the tangy taste they have and i never have liked reg. milk either so thats what made me try soy and i just loved the taste. But im anemic and someone had told me that soy is good for that, but who knows. about the soda, omg i used to be addicted to it too, still am coping with that. My bf will buy 2 liters of coke, sprite all the time and i would drink them all, i just always had to have a cup in my hand with a bunch of ice cause i LOVE chewing ice, which i also heard is signs of anemia. anyway he would complain that i would drink all the soda and i told him 'you know what, stop buying them! i cannot see soda in the fridge and not drink it' so now if he wants soda he only buys a can for himself and hides it from me lol but for the past week i have successfully stuck to water, the thing i find that helps is if i just keep refilling a water bottle and have it by me all the time. If i don't do that and im thirsty i will drink whatever has sugar in it.
It def. has made a diff. tho, on myself and on my skin, i suffer from acne now and then.
Hopefully with my new diet it will get better. I'm also trying to not overeat on those carbs, i eat a lot of whole grains, the biggest challenge for me is getting enough protein in but so far i've been doing okay with that. That's why i made this thread, so i can get more recipes lol but there's tons of info here, and now i have a list of things to buy thanks to you guys
Thanks for the info on soy, i did google it real quick and saw tons of links, so im going to do my research on it. I read a quick snip about how it can prevent fertility and that's now good.
