Did you get your TVP from Tesco?

I find other brands don't taste as good.

100g TVP + 150-200ml water is normally what i use, then 2-3g cinnamon, then cover with splenda. Sweetner tabs work out fat cheaper, 1000 in a tube ofr ~£1.30 from LIDL they're great.

Regarding the Tesco TVP, have you (or anyone else) found that around the begining of the year, around about the time when Tesco incresed the price of their TVP, they also changed the version they were selling.

Although in the same packaging, it went from a light brown sandy colour to a darker brown colour with larger granules. This new version dont taste as good as the old one

I noticed that some of my packs tasted very "sandy" and one my "cinnamon and splenda TVP Meals" was horrible, i had to throw it away.
However since ive still got packets i brought at 99p price, i didnt put this down to a change in product& price increase.

So ah maybe that is why then! Dammit, bad news if its true!

Just ordered wheat gluten to make seitan now :D

Rich mate, I tried this the other day and it was awful!! I added a couple of teaspoons of splenda and a teaspoon of cinnamon.

Maybe I need to add more but it just tasted like cardboard!

Play around with it, perhaps the new tesco batches taste like **** now (as said above) i'm not sure.
My soya meals still taste good, specially the biscuits!

The issues are not to do with the levels of testosterone but rather the ease in which they can bind with the receptors on the cells of target tissues. They do inhibit the receptors in a few ways however does that carry over into detectable changes in health etc?
Debatable.

We do know that this an other issues such as the possible goitrogenic issues are not fully understood.

Nice thread...

I regularly use soya mice, soya meatballs, soya beef chunks, sausages etc... all great stuff, especially as I do not eat red meat.

I have heard the theory of it raising eostrogen levels, but it seems to be blown out of proportion somewhat.

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 140kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 480kg 16 reps
