Interesting. Here I thought that I could just substitute everything with soy, but apparently I was having more dairy than I realized b/c I'm realizing how much soy replacement I'm using (forgot to mention the soy cream cheese and Luna Bars that I just tried). I don't mind my kids having dairy...they have no adverse reactions to it...I just wanted to be sure that the soy was okay for them. For example, we don't usually drink chocolate milk, but if my son wants some, now I will give him the soy chocolate milk instead of Hershey's syrup in regular milk. I was assuming that was a better choice.
As for me, that is a good idea to switch off with the soy/rice/almond milks...I can certainly do that for my smoothies and oatmeal. I don't think I will notice a difference. (I really don't like how any of them taste by themselves..I'm really missing my cold cereal with milk...by the way is the "oat milk" much different tasting?)
My question seems to be answered, but I'm still wondering what amount might be too much. The fact that I'm drinking the Soyfee (1-2cups/day) adds a definite soy intake daily.
And yes, Heather's diet and information is soooo helpful. So are the people on this board. It is so relieving to hear such similar concerns/issues without thinking that it is all in your head.
