I remember a lady at church many years ago (before I became vegan) telling me that soy helped her when she went through menopause.

Also, if you really like shredded meat dishes then Jack fruit is an excellent substitute. I just picked some up to try (it comes in a can, already peeled and chopped) and it makes an excellent sub in pulled pork (lots of recipes if you Google).

I've begun using jackfuit, thanks to my mom! I really like it.

It may take a few months to see the change, though.

I'm not low fat at all
