I'm an omnivoire, but can't you get a lot of vegan protein from chickpeas and soy? Soy does have the obvious huge downside of containing a much higher amount of estrogen and causes havoc in some people, but Chickpeas aren't hard to make delicious. Ditto for lentils as well
- vram22 6y ago> Chickpeas aren't hard to make delicious. Ditto for lentils as well Yes. Check out my other comment about beans in this thread. All the dishes I mentioned there are pretty tasty. And so are lentils, if by that you meant masoor or masoor dal, or even if you meant tuar dal). And all those are high in protein as you say.
- galangalalgol 6y agoI love Indian curries, but one serving obbeans or pulses will haunt me for a couple days. I don't know if it is sibo related, but I do have that. Cauliflower, blackberries, and mushrooms destroy me too.
- vram22 6y agoTough luck. Maybe some people are more prone to such issues. >sibo A typo? An acronym?
- galangalalgol 6y agoSmall intestine bacterial overgrowth. Often due to overuse of antibiotics in childhood. I'm not complaining, probably would have died without them.
- vram22 6y agoHad not heard of SIBO. Good to know. Wonder if yogurt and other fermented foods that increase good gut bacteria can help.
- seanwilson 6y ago> Soy does have the obvious huge downside of containing a much higher amount of estrogen and causes havoc in some people Do you have a study that confirms this? As far as I know this is a myth. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogen#Effects_on_humans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogen#Effects_on_human...
- st1ck 6y agoAnother downside of soybeans is that its production causes deforestation and other environmental changes in areas like Amazon. See e.g. https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/the-story-of-soy https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/the-story-of-soy That said, soybeans are mostly used to feed livestock, so if you just eat meat instead of soy, that's likely not any better for environment.
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoThey said they don’t tolerate beans and pulses well. Chickpeas, soy, and lentils all fall into that category.
