Soy and Weight Gain
by Dianne Gregg, author of The Hidden Dangers of Soy
All of my life, I never had a weight problem. I always ate
everything in moderation and played racquetball 3 times a week. Then at age 45 I
gained 32 pounds over a period of 8 years. My weight climbed from 118lbs to
150lbs! I went to the doctors for the requisite blood tests, but they revealed
nothing.
Instead the physicians chocked it up to menopause and told
me to increase my soy intake. I had soy protein drinks for breakfast, soy
protein bars for a snack, a healthy move – or so I thought.
In 2003, I developed a severe allergy to soy and went into
anaphylactic shock. I spent 4 days in the ICU. The doctors said it was food
poisoning – it wasn’t, it was an allergy to soy.
I ate a soy veggie burger for dinner the night before – and
that’s what did me in! My body had had enough. It was then that I started to
research the potential link between soy and weight gain. I believe soy weight
gain is one of the reasons we have such a high obesity rate in this country.
