My daughter actually turned me on to soy milk, and we really like chocolate! You can buy different varieties, but they tend to range from 100 calories – 150 calories a glass.
I find a glass very filling, and I know it is high in fiber and protein. So I reallly feel like it is helping me control my appetite for other stuff that isn't so healthy. But I also believe I feel a bit "friskier" if you know what I mean.
Does anybody else have any experience with adding a couple of glasses of soy milk to their diet every day? Do you feel as if it has helped you reduce cravings, increase energy, and even get back some pre-menopausal "friskiness"?
I think most healthy people find that soy milk can be a healthy addition to a diet, especially if it is replacing some less healthy food. You are right. It is full of fiber and protein, which can help reduce cravings too.
Some studies suggest that processed soy milk is high in estrogen too, so if you are low, it may provide some of the other benefits you suggest.
I do get reports from some people who suggest soy makes them gain weight, and they blame the hormones too.
I think we all react differently to different food. If it works for you, I cannot see any reason why a couple of glasses a day would do any harm.
Love chocolate soy milk. It is the best way to get my "fix".
I did contribute an article about the heath benefits vs. dangers of soy milk. I didn't cover anything, but I figured that interested people could use it as a basis for their own research.
