Soya milk

[Puppy]

I picked up a vegetarian low carb book a while back for more ideas re side dishes and the like.

Anyway one of the suggested drinks was soya milk in cocoa etc

anyway it works out at 0.1g carbs for 100ml, which is VERY low

Not strictly by the book I know, but does it count as cheating and could I have a cup or so a day? A cup (American measure) would equate to 250ml, and 0.25g carbs

Soy beans I believe aren't until the legumes rung, when you reach there it would be legal, just not before then. The one thing you have to be very careful with is the brand you buy. Almost all of the commerical brands are sweetened and fairly high in carbs, so check the labels. I have found two in canada, So Nice 'Natural' flavour, and one other..i can't remember the name of (it's got chinese writing on the carton'. I know there are also recipes to make your own soy milk if you search the web you'll find a few.

I like it in smoothies, adds protein to them.

I think being able to add foods like this should give people good reason to move on from induction and start OWL, adds more variety.

thanks. I check the cartons of VERYTHING now religously, and its def 0.1g carb per 100ml.

Will keep it by, its long life so its not going anywhere
