I've been a vegetarian for 15 years, and now 100% plant-based for almost 6 months. I'm Asian (Filipino) and soy products are everywhere. I'm taking it in moderation because I think I'm not reacting very well to it. I experience bloating/water retention if I eat too much of it.

only TVP bloats my stomach immediately. It's extremely processed so i consume that very rarely. tofu, tempeh etc have no affect on me at all, i eat that much more !
I'm still figuring out the best food items for me especially for weight loss. I'm 39 years old with a history of hypothyroidism. Though my thyroid hormone levels have been on the "normal" range for years, I still think it really affected my metabolism already. I've been off meds too, so I try to heal myself through food. That's why I went plant-based.
