Soy ?

20 years ago

anyone using any of the soy based drinks and bars as part of their diet plan? I have just bought a one month supply of shakes and bars to try... ....Revival Soy products...supposed to have the equivalent of 6 glasses of soy in one bar or shake...all sorts of health benefits besides weight loss.

anyone had any experience with soy products?

Crafty - I haven't yet, but I keep seeing advertisements for Revival Soy (and I believe Denise Austin promotes it) and have been thinking of trying it. If you have checked out the Revival webpage, it's an interesting story on how the products were developed. I would be interested in hearing how you feel they are working for you and how they TASTE! Good luck to you!

I bought a soy based shake, but I don't know if it was supposed to be diet. I thought it was, but when I poured some out and drank a little, it was extremely sweet. I looked at the carton and it said something like 28 g of sugar so I don't know how it could be diet. It is really tasty though.

Ive found the throw can be hit or miss depending on the actual fragrance oils you use. We've always done 8% FO at 185 high temp, then cool to 135 then pour. Experimentation is always important, even if it takes time to get it right. As a graphic designer, I keep my wax supplies and melting rig right next to my computer, so I can do tests while I work. Experimenting and testing new scents as we speak :) Check out our new site.

SOY MILK (FROM SOY BEANS) SOY MILK AND BASE SOY MILK (FROM SOY BEANS) 1 cup soybeans 3 cups water 5 to 6 cups warm water pinch of salt 1 Tbsp. honey Soak 1 cup soybeans in 3 cups water for 24 to 48 hours. Pour off water in which beans have been soaked. Grind beans until fine. Add 5 to 6 cups warm water and boil for 30 minutes. Strain add pinch of salt and 1 Tbsp. honey. This milk can be used exactly the same as cows milk. . Don't use soybeans that are used as seed, as they have been sprayed. Use the ones that are harvested out of the field. or, another approach; SOY MILK AND BASE 2 cup water 1 cup soy flour 1 tsp. sea salt (or regular) Blend or stir until smooth. (After cooking, base should be custard like.) Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes (stir after 20). Or crock pot on low for 3-4 hours stirring. May be frozen. MILK: 1/2 cup soy base 1/2 cup water (plus 4 c.) 1 tsp. vanilla 2 Tbsp. sweetener 1/4 tsp. sea salt (or regular) 1/3 cup cashews Blend all but 4 cups of water until smooth. Add water. Chill and shake before serving.

Soy candles can develop a "frost" because the wax on the surface crystallizes. You haven't done anything wrong. Your simple solution of buffing the surface until the frost is gone is the right one.

Gah, I was just at Anthropology yesterday and OMG...they had the most delicious candles! I'm not sure if they were soy, but absolutely wonderful, soft scents. I bought my bff one that was a line made in Charleston (can't remember the name & it's wrapped now) but the scent was "marine, moss, and maybe rose" (or something!) Sounds ridiculous, but smells AMAZING! I bought another friend a different brand and the scent was "whipped cream & pear." I seriously wanted to eat it!

Well..have only tried these for a couple of days....use either a shake or a bar as a lunch/meal replacement and then eat a low fat/low cal dinner. Must say I like the bars better than the shake (both come in a low carb version if you are watching the carbs)but I am still experimenting with what all to put in the shake (today I added a spoonful of cocoa powder and peppermint extract to the chocolate flavor shake and that was a pretty tasty combination) I want to try some of the different flavor of bars...I prefer eating a bar to drinking a shake for lunch. I can order a package of all 7 flavors of their bars so think I will do that. Had the chocolate/rasberry and it was VERY good!
Am trying the soy products for some of the other benefits in addition to weight loss, so will see how that goes!
