QuestionI have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia.I have been advised to take high protien diet and complex carbohydrate.
I am a pure vegetarian.My dietician suggested me to take soybean in the form of soy milk, tofu,granules etc.
I am also taking ayurvedic medicines side by side.When I told me ayurvedic doctor about my diet ,he immidiately told e stop soy products as they are harmful.He is researher also and works on food research with govt of india.
Is it ture.I have found double opinions on internet.
Can you suggest me some veg tips for high protien which do not include soy.Is cow milk good for me.

AnswerDear AG,
Soy products are certainly not harmful by themselves, but it's possible that your ayurvedic doctor has given you ayurvedic medicines that don't combine with soy. I would suggest you tell your ayurvedic doctor about your hypoglycemia, and that you tell your medical doctor all of the ayurvedic medicines that you take, so that each doctor will know what the other is doing!
Other good sources of protein you can try are peas, all kinds of beans, eggs, and all cow dairy products-especially cottage cheese and unsweetened yogurt.
To manage hypoglycemia, you should try to eat five or six small meals throughout the day, rather than two or three larger meals. Each small meal should contain protein. You will find that your blood sugar will stay in the normal range.
