Why does every protein powder contain soy?

"As if they want a society full of effeminate men (soy boys)... Maybe.. That's exactly it."

Much like most men who into that pseudoscientific bs, you're ill-informed regarding soy. The phytoestrogens in soy (and soy isn't the only food that has them), actually compete with endogenous estrogens for binding spots. Because the estrogenic activity of phytoestrogens is less than the estrogen your body produces, if these phytos get to the receptor first, you effectively allow testosterone to see a stronger effect in your body. So if anything, small amounts of soy will masculinize your body by providing it a weaker form of estrogen, not feminize.

But there is a cut off point. Say your body produces X amount of estrogen, and you eat some smaller amount of phytoestrogens. Well then, two things happen. One your body senses it has two much estrogen because it thinks phytoestrogens are estrogen, and starts boosting testosterone (hence, why vegans have the highest levels of testasterone). Next, for the estrogen receptors, phytoestrogens and estrogens compete, and you see less estrogenic effect on the body because phytos don't work as well.

But if you are eating like fricking 3-5X amount of phytoestrogens when compared to normal estrogen, then you will always have too much phytoestrogen in your bloodstream, your receptors will be over saturated with estrogenic activity (even if it is weaker), and your body's construction of test can't keep up. That is when you start growing man boobs.

Soy boy is a fucking useless term cuz it has nothing to do with goddamn soy, only societal impressions of those who eat tofu. So if you want to man up, eating some soy will help you improv T levels rather than harm you.

Who wants a society full of effeminate men?

Soy is a cheap protein filler. It's in everything that's convenient, read your labels. Fast food hamburgers and chicken sandwiches are full of it, so is prepackaged sausage and bacon.

My sister lives next to a food flavoring plant in Las Vegas, Nevada. Every night it smells different outside: bacon, ham, etc. They inject that artificial crap into all of the soy filled "meats" we eat at restaurants, etc. Real meat is expensive, do people think they are being served real meat at affordable prices?

There isn't enough soy that's going to do much to your testosterone, you have to have excessive amounts to have any real effect. If you're really concerned about your testosterone take TRT.

Try the steak and eggs diet, that's what I do. Sounds like it is exactly what you're looking for.

what about nuts and seeds?

pumpkin seeds around 30g/33g of protein per 100g

cocoa powder has 20g of protein per 100g, get a big table spoon and have it in milk?

DWShimoda · 2018-05-07T18:14:46+00:00

so I need to get around 100g of protein from somewhere. From food alone will not be enough if I want to preserve muscle mass.

What in the world makes you think you cannot get enough protein from actual "food"???

Seriously. Humans have built up decent (real) muscle for eons while obtaining their protein from actual "food."

Seems to me you're trying for a SHORT-CUT... and that you aren't trying to preserve REAL muscle mass (i.e. throughout the body), but are instead attempting to maintain an artificially boosted subset of specific hypertrophied muscles (chiefly for "appearance" sake).

Now why is that?

Wtf are u saying...? What type of protein powder are u taking?

chadbhava · 2018-05-07T19:00:15+00:00

Use insects

Watch your protein intake. You should be able to get plenty from your food without adding protein powder.

If you eat more protein than is needed by the body, it can convert amino acids into glucose to be used for energy. This is known as gluconeogenesis, which spikes your insulin and reduces the levels of ketones in your blood.

Too much protein can actually prevent you from gaining the benefits from the Keto diet.

ikeaharlot · 2018-05-07T19:35:39+00:00

because it is cheap?

JayJayEcks · 2018-05-08T02:21:04+00:00

Every protein powder does not contain soy.

Even a Google search will help you find one without.

Will it cost more to get it without soy?

Yup.

Stratahoo · 2018-05-08T14:37:57+00:00

Your body's estrogen receptors don't take in phytoestrogen. In order to get loaded with estrogen, you'd need to be injected with actual estrogen!

Stop believing these utterly retarded conspiracy theories without looking into the actual evidence. Sheep.

Our hydrolyzed whey protein (HWP) contains 25 grams of pure protein per scoop. Our fast absorbing hydrolyzed whey protein is 100% pure, non-denatured, non-acid treated hydrolyzed whey with absolutely no whey concentrate, ion exchange, or other cheaper forms of protein blended in. Our hydrolyzed whey protein has a full spectrum amino acid profile, and a high biological value and protein efficiency for building muscle. Absolutely no fillers, excipients or additives of any kind.

Hydro is the best fast pro to take ..and not soy in there...search and u see.

Oh my god stop stop stop, ask in questions because you flat out making statements while looking for answers is sqewwing how people will think about these health issues,

You can take what i say here with however much salt you want to but im a studied doctor.

No not all protein powders contain soy. You will likely just have to look at many in many different stores, aka read ingredents before you buy and dont mind sending some time at the store with your phone before you buy things.

2nd 100g of protein is fucking way too much, you aint synthesizing shit for the need of that many animo acids, you likely arent even producing enough stomach hcl to even digest it properly. Its .7 grams of protein per kg of minus-mass of fat. Your fat filled cells have no business for needing protein. Even if you could digest that muchyour liver will turn it to sugar then youll create a shit load of urea in your blood, creating an acid environment, thats gonna damage your organs.

3rd the keto diet is mostly a cop out, there are way things you need to fix than you realize if your goal is to get healthy. The keto diet is in to sucker you in so you can get sick and MDs can drain your wallets. Most “doctors” are scam artists and give you nothing of value and this is the kinda bullshit they come up with after getting all of americaso sick off sugar n grains that they wanna see what else they can milk out of you.

4thim forgetting what you wrote by now cause this is onmobile n its shit to use. But if i feel i need to add anything else i will if you respond.

Btw i am a doctor, i wont put you on a plan free though, mostly cause i cant afford it because the government screwwed the uck outta me with loans and i didnt get red pilled till after.
