Hi lovely,
There is some soy in our vegan meal plan as it’s one of the best sources of plant based protein. If you’d like to avoid it, feel free to substitute it with any other high protein food you enjoy (nuts, legumes and seeds). You can also find soy free tofu, but it’s a bit harder to find. xx

Love,
Diana

In reply to Adriana. Hi lovely, This could be one of the reasons you aren't losing weight. There are a few other potential reasons for not seeing results if you're working out and eating healthy: If you have ever done any super low calorie diets in the past, this will affect your metabolism and make it harder for you to lose weight. And on the other end of the scale, binge eating prevents you from getting results too. I'm not sure if either of this situations apply to you, but it's one thing to take into consideration. Sometimes weight loss isn't just about calories in and calories out. Your body is a lot more complicated. Any issues with gut health, hormones, thyroid, cortisol or nutrient deficiencies can actually make a HUGE difference to your weight. Please have a read of this blog post as it explains these situations in more detail and you'll be able to see if any of these sound like you. I would recommend trying out any other plant based milk products like almond, coconut, cashew, rice or flaxseed milk. Love, Diana xx

Hello Rachael,
I’ve just read your article about soy and I want to say thank you. That post has opened my eyes. But I have a question. I’m lactose intolerant and because of that I can’t eat or drink anything, where cows milk is contained. So I had to replace some products with soy. I was shocked that it could be so damaging to my health. I also didn’t know that it could stop my goal to lose some weight(which I’ve been trying for a long time). I‘m sure and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I consume many soy products daily. Can this really be a reason why I’m not losing wait? I want to change something about it. But I love to drink milk or eat yoghurt. Which products should I eat/drink instead?
Thx
