I was a vegetarian through my twenties and most of my thirties, eating a lot of soy meat substitutes just like you describe.<br /><br />After taking the "red pill" with regards to my liberal politics, my view of women and gender relations, etc, I just realized how much BS I had been sold through all these philosophies, including vegetarianism. Also, these days there is plenty of meat available that is free range, grassfed, etc. <br /><br />So, a few months ago I started eating chicken again, and now I'm eating (and loving the hell out of) steak. I haven't noticed a whole lot of health difference yet, but I'm sure it's not hurting.<br /><br />I also have thinning hair, which I believe has been pinpointed to an overproduction of DHEA, so that really makes me wonder if soy had anything to do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-18117009797744254322011-03-03T09:14:17.224-08:002011-03-03T09:14:17.224-08:00AS - IMO, I wouldn't eat too many nuts as a ma...AS - IMO, I wouldn't eat too many nuts as a main source of protien, but they're fine as a snack. I would make sure they are dry roasted and not cooked in any kind of oil....because the most popular way they are sold is cooked in peanut or canola oil.<br /><br />As for cashews, they are a legume, like soy beans, but I haven't read anything anywhere regarding the cashew...but I would still apply the same principle - sparingly, in moderation, and make sure they are dry roasted, not cooked in industrial produced oil.<br /><br />As for corn chips...well, corn does have a lot of drawbacks, mainly that it is a carbohydrate, so like all grain based carbohydrates, if you must eat it, I would eat it infrequently.<br /><br />Again, the most damaging aspect for commercial corn chips is the oil they cook them in - usually corn oil.<br /><br />However, I myself do occasionally enjoy corn chips/corn tortillas for Mexican dinners. In that case, you should make sure to only buy corn tortillas that are made in the traditional manner - which is to say, treated with lime.<br /><br />The process is called "nixtamalizado." This supposedly neutralizes the mycotoxins in untreated corn.<br /><br />Check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization?oldid=0<br /><br />On corn tortillas packages in US grocery stores, look for brands that have the ingredients listed in both Spanish and English. The English version will have "Ground Corn treated with Lime" as the first ingredient, and the Spanish list will say: "Maiz Nixtamalizado."<br /><br />Make sure that it's not made with any hydrogenated oils either. Most corn tortilla's are not...but nearly every brand of flour (wheat) tortillas are. And these are usually the tortillas that brazenly advertise "low fat" and "Lard Free!" as if lard were a poison and the hydrogenated shit they put in it is healthy.<br /><br />But I digress...<br /><br />Other than ensuring you get the right tortilla, the second biggest factor is to cut it up and fry it in your own oil. I use extra virigin, refined coconut oil. ONce I fry them in a healthy oil, I'll salt them up with ground sea salt. The chips I make taste 1000 times better than store bought, corn oil fried tortilla chips. <br /><br />And while I do limit my consumption of grains...mexican food is just not the same without tortilla in my book.Keoni Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842553742723239151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-3259441960125573242011-03-03T05:49:15.895-08:002011-03-03T05:49:15.895-08:00Hey, Keoni, it's me again. I know I asked this...Hey, Keoni, it's me again. I know I asked this a year ago, but I just have a quick question about what's alright to eat.<br /><br />You mentioned that you can't eat too many nuts (so long as they aren't covered in hydrogenated oils) and you listed quite a few nuts, but are cashews okay? You didn't mention cashews.<br /><br />Also, what about yogurt?<br /><br />And lastly... corn chips?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />-AmStratAmateur Strategisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117180958923946810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-43917230252725183632011-03-02T23:32:48.902-08:002011-03-02T23:32:48.902-08:00I agree 100%.
