Mailbag: Soy Free Low Carb?
10-Feb-2004

I'm new to low carb and am allergic to soy.  All the baking mixes and many of the recipies call for soy or soy based products.  Is there a good alternative to soy?  Also, are there any good recipie sites for low carb/soy-free cooking?  I'm getting really tired of hearing about a great recipe and then finding out it calls for soy.  Also, most of the snack bars contain soy.  I need help!!!!!

Thanks,
Karen

Dear Karen,

I have the soy problem, too, since I have hypothyroidism.  Many soy products make me feel sleepy, fatigued, even flu-ish.  So, none of my recipes contain soy!

There are many recipes around the web, many get posted at Low Carb Transformation, my favorite low carb online forum.

Stay tuned for more recipes and advice, and thanks for writing.

Regards,
Joan
