I work with a woman who lost 40 pounds over a few months time once she finally found the right allergist and discovered her intolerance for soy. And that stuff is in literally everything now, just read the labels.
I told them about people with allergies, reactions, and intolerances to wheat, dairy, etc. I didn't mention soy, but we talked about eliminating certain foods to see what happened.

My (and their) skepticism was that the doctor said he was allergic to everything but kamut. Kamut is an ancient form of wheat. Everything BUT that, huh? Seems odd. He basically said "what can we do? He's allergic to all foods."
