hi guys,
I am currently in the midst of trying to lose weight. I drink a lot of milk for the protein(up to 2 packs a day, have reduced it back to 1). Dropping milk completely out my diet is not really an option as the majority of the protein I take comes from milk. I was thinking of replacing it with soy. I know that soy protein is not as good as milk protein... |

Yea, I have heard about the moobs thing too. However there are vegan bodybuilders who take soy, and they don't have moobs. Dunno whether want to take a risk or not
 QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Oct 29 2009, 09:53 AM) The soy milk we have in the market are sweetened. That means they add sugar. And drinking A LOTTTTT of soy milk can increase your estrogen level --> man boobs. (This one, I am not sure. I'm just throwing this out so that you can go read more about it.) Well, that's what I read in one of the issues in Men's Health. It mentioned about a guy with man boobs for drinking tonnes of commercial soy milk daily. But then again, that's the US, with their GM soy and different soy milk processing.  |

HL has 50gm per pack. And I do take about 200gm of protein per day. BTW my weight is 115kg, so 3kg is too much.
The reason why I take milk is bcos of convenience. QUOTE(kotmj @ Oct 29 2009, 02:10 PM) If you rely on the 36 measely grams of protein in a brick of milk as your main source of protein then you are under-proteinized. Take 3g/kg of BW! Added on October 29, 2009, 5:58 pmYea, that could cause a problem. Maybe should take zinc to balance the effects of soy (zinc helps increase testosterone) QUOTE(tennis4life @ Oct 29 2009, 02:28 PM) Soy products contain ESTROGEN. Thats why you can see out there many man have man boobs. Its recomended by health and fitness experts to consumed 2 serving of soy products PER WEEK only. Even ladies, like me avoid soya bean.  Your testosterone level will go down and estrogen level will go up. |
