Load up on other legumes if you have a soy intolerance: Beans: black, kidney, lime, pinto, white, mung, adzuki, garbanzo Lentils: red, green, black, yellow, brown, French Peas: snow peas, snap peas, garden peas Rice milk or almond milk, fortified with vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D, instead of soymilk Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

I don't tolerate soy well - not clinically an allergy but it messes with my already-weird hormonal situation. We just don't go for tofu, commercial veggies patties, etc. We make our own black bean patties (Veganomicon recipe); we use cashew based cheese sauce; and hubby is fairly creative in coming up with other yummy options. Yes, this means we don't follow the kickstart menu precisely, but that's okay. The kickstart is a way to get an introduction to a lot of new foods and recipes but is meant to be adjusted as needed (that's what the DIY meals are for - practice at inventing your own meals once the kickstart ends) --Deb R
