Heading back down the scales. Nice. So, I've been looking into the soy flour thing. It's almost double the carbs of almond flour, but 1/3 of wheat flour. Most of the recipes in my new cookbook, that have soy flour as part of the recipe, claim to come in right around 8 g of carbs per serving. Totally within macros. I probably wouldn't bake with the soy flour, because of the higher carbs, but to use in breadings or as a thickener, it might be alright. My other issue with soy is that a great majority of it, in the US at least, is GMO. I'm very skeptical about GMOs in general. I was talking to a friend yesterday who had been having some health issues, i.e. a persistent bladder infection and a wound on a knuckle that wouldn't heal. Around the time both issues started, she had been on a 'chocolate binge', as she put it. She is a landscape architect and pretty much eats very clean, growing most of the food her family consumes. She has avoided soy for many years, precisely because of the GMO factor. Anyway, she finally linked the chocolate binge with the timing of the health problems, and discovered that the kind of chocolate she was eating contains soy lecithin and soy protein isolates. Long story short, she quit eating that brand, and both issues cleared within a couple of days. Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmmm..." I'm dog-sitting for my neighbors this weekend, so I've been walking a lot more. It's a good thing. :) Have a Super Sunday, friends and Followers! ~Kes

I wouldn't bake with soy flour, Kes - it tastes horrible! Don't you have any other gluten free flours in the US? The one I buy in the UK is made with a blend of rice, potato, tapioca, maize, buckwheat flours. The only difference is a slightly more grainy texture but not enough to put my granddaughters off eating brownies made with it - lol!

I read about the taste of soy flour on another site, Doobs. Thanks for the warning! I'm sure there are loads of gluten free flours here...I just haven't really looked for them. I do have a bag of buckwheat flour, and I'm also looking into einkorn flour. I'll figure it out, I'm sure.

Hey MsKes, Hope u are doing well! I am happy to be back on FS and recently read some posts about Almond flour bread. I will try this soon
Could be the edge I need to stay lowcarb! We are all well after the hurricanes, other islands were not so fortunate. Love light & peace to you.
