ozzzyyy Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Well, this is what I ate today. Breakfast: I had a handful of almonds on a fast run to church. Water. Lunch: I had 2 smoky links, 2 scranbled eggs with cheese and celery with peanut butter. Snack: diet jello with cool whip, cup of tea. Dinner: all meat hotdog and pork rinds. Diet Pepsi I know I need to drink more water, ran out of my bottled water and our softened water has too much salt for drinking. Also need to get me some atkins bread...wish we could make the stuff without specially ordering it. It is really amazing how unhungry you are on this diet...if I could get over the boredom, I will have it made. I wake up and think what am I going to eat today...Oh yeah, eggs! Does anyone know if there is a protein drink that is lo-carb?? That would be an excellent diversion than eggs and meat all the time. ------------------ Quote Link to comment

Darlene Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Ginger- Look for a protein drink made with whey(milk) protein isolate-NOT soy protein isolate. See my other posts to find out why. ------------------ "Sooner or later everyone quotes their mother." Quote Link to comment

ozzzyyy Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 I reread the same info. in one of MidnightMom's links....I cannot recall exactly how it is bad but this is the best I can say it...soy melts your thyroid away. Also GooseLiver's homepage, has excellent information concerning hypothyriodism and soy products. Point the way..Goosie!! ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Excerpted from "Soy Story" HOW MUCH IS DANGEROUS? For Adults A glass a day melts the thyroid away. From USA Woman's World, Mar 16 2001. AVOIDING SOY .... As little as 30mg of soy isoflavones--the amount in 5-8 ounces of soymilk - have been proven to suppress thyroid function. "The isoflavones in soy act like a hormone in the body. And in many women, especially those who eat large amounts of concentrated soy powder or take isoflavone supplements, this disturbs the body's hormonal balance, triggering or worsening thyroid problems," explains Dr. Larian Gillespie, author of "The Goddess Diet". Some experts are even calling for the makers of soy products to remove these antithyroid isoflavones from their products. Soy protein has been assessed by the Australia/New Zealand Food Authority as posing potential hazards to consumers as to sexual maturation, sexual differences, foetal and neonatal brain development, and to thyroid function of children and adults (ANZFA) Quote Link to comment
