Protein Shakes - allergic to soy

by Leah

Hi, my sister and I are doing this diet together. She has a hard time because she takes a lot of medication and needs more on her stomach so that the medication does not affect her. I think the protein shakes would be good for her but she is allergic to soy. Can she use whey protein in the fat burner drink instead of soy protein.

Also, what is drinking whey? Is this whey protein?

Hi Leah,
I regret but I'm not allowed to give you here any medical advice. In case of health problems your sister should ask her doctor and tell him that she is planning to do the cabbage soup diet. She should not do it without his permission!

Generally spoken you can have of course whey protein shakes instead of soy protein shakes.

Drinking whey is the liquid remaining part of the milk after milk has been curdled and strained. It is also called milk plasma.

Here in Germany you get it in the dairy department.

All the best,
Gabriela
