Mcgraw-addict 0 Posted September 13, 2005 Hi Guys Just a little question here. I have read throughout these boards and have heard people mention soy milk. I myself am not a big milk drinker, however I know I will be mixing protien drinks with milk. Is there a big difference between soy and regular? Also while doing Atkins they said to drink regular milk as it has lower sugar than skim??? I am not sure which way to turn on this. My surgery is scheduled for Oct. 20 and I have to be on a pre op diet. If Soy milk is better for you could someone please tell me some good brands to buy? THANKS guys!

dylansmom 27 Posted September 13, 2005 I always get the 8th Continent brand. I usually buy the chocolate flavor just for a little something different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeLarla 22 Posted September 13, 2005 I was never a milk drinker. It took years for me to taste soy milk because the thought grossed me out. Then I tasted it on a dare, and now I love the stuff. I had some this morning. Good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAYGERL05 0 Posted September 14, 2005 I just had surgery 9/8 in Texas and the dietician suggested soy milk or skim milk. My girlfriend had some soy milk and I tasted it and actually love it. As a matter of fact I am drinking it right now with my Protein Drink. I hate skim milk and the soy milk is great especially when I blend it up it taste like a milk shake. I have Silk soy milk enhanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CandySmooch 0 Posted September 21, 2005 I love soy milk - my mom is a health nut and recommends SILK as it has more nutrition or something over the other brands - I can't quite remember but she's a health nut and I trust her judgment since she researches everything that goes into her body - I love the vanilla flavored one.

Mcgraw-addict 0 Posted September 21, 2005 I appreciate everyone's responses. I have bought some soy milk and actually love it! I am not a milk drinker at all. But I love this stuff. I worry though becuase there is like 11 carbs per 8 oz. thats kind of alot.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
