superwho Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 So, I'm 32, been bodybuilding for all my adult life. Like many I have been shovelling tons of chicken and turkey and beef down my gut to reach that next goal. I'm 6'4 and about 230 lbs. Since the birth of my daughter a year ago, I slacked on my macros and cardio and got a little softer than I'm used to. I figured now is the perfect time to change. I plan on still eating meat, but only in small amounts a few times a week. My biggest concern is that any time I've tried to use soy as a protein, it just destroys my guts, I mean the worst gas ever, does this ever stop, lol? Anyways, look forward to reading up on everything, and any pointers or things I should check out, I'd be glad to know, Thanks in advance,A.J.

Synny667 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I know when I first started eating soy I had that problem and it does go away as your body adjusts. I prefer tempeh myself because it doesn't feel as processed. I also eat lots of beans for protein. Nan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hey man, welcome to the site. I find that I get gas build-up from specific products, not all soy. The soy protein shakes that I take do not give me a problem, but some cooked soy products dom, I guess it's a matter of experimentation, but there are other ways to get protein if it really doesn't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
