I've wondered this myself. I eat a fair bit of soy because of my veggie boyfriend. One school of thought says, "the phytoestrogens block the estrogen receptors from accepting the real estrogen, so less estrogen = less weight gain/better weight loss." The other school of thought is that the phytoestrogens *act* like estrogen, and can cause weight gain/difficult weight loss.
