Soy-Stubborn Fat Gain and Metabolic Disorders

Many of you may not realize it, but there are actually certain foods and herbs that you can eat on a daily basis that will help you stay lean and healthy, but unfortunately there are also certain foods that have the opposite effect. In fact, not only can these foods make you fat, but they can also make you sick. One I would like to address in this article is soy.

Did you know that soy products can actually cause weight gain and other disorders?

Many think that soy is the new dairy. It may be new, but what most people don't realize is that soy actually has a metabolic effect in the body like estrogen does. If you're male, do you want to be increasing the estrogen content in your body? Or, if you're female, do you want excess estrogens circulating throughout your body? Do you know what this can do to you? I've spoken to numerous people who have been eating "healthy" by replacing all dairy with soy. Yes, they lose weight, but many can't figure out why the stubborn fat and metabolic disorders persists.

I'll tell you why I think that soy is a contributing factor.

Briefly, soy actually contains phytoestrogens. Although natural, phytoestrogens have an estrogenic effect on the body. And, when your body has an excess of estrogen, do you know what happens? Well, lots of things, but one of the most obvious signs is the formation of stubborn fat, particularly in the chest and belly in men, and in the hips and thighs for women.

But soy is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many other particular estrogenic chemicals that we are ingesting on a regular basis that are causing us problems.
