Find The Answer In Soy Shakes To Lose Weight

By Elaine Davis


Men and women alike have one thing in common - the desire to look and feel good in their own bodies. Sadly, that is not the reality for everyone as some people really need to lose weight for health and aesthetic reasons. One way you can do that is to try replacing some meals with soy shakes to lose weight.

You've seen the commercials on TV and in the magazines, touting meal replacements as being a key to calorie reduction. But is that a fact... Or a way to sell meal replacements shakes! Replacement meals for excessive carbs can give you a healthy way to get vitamins and minerals while reducing calories and fats. Losing excess fat is certainly one of the benefits; what are some others?

First, let's discuss soy, and it's impact on your health. Soybeans contain something called Genistein, which acts in the body like an antioxidant would. This means it counteracts the damages wrought by free radicals. In fact, Genistein, an isoflavone, has a feature interesting to anyone having (or at risk for) heart disease; it acts as an anti-irritant in the blood vessels.

Genistein has also been found to control excess cell growth; in other words, it helps to prevent tumors and possible cancer. Pretty neat for the humble soybean! Any article, however, has to also note that soybeans also contain a form of plant estrogen. This is fine for the average person, but the very young, very old might and those on estrogen therapy want to limit their intake. Still, for the average person, the benefits of soy far, far outweigh any possible negatives.

Yes, its good for women, but soy prevents over-production of insulin, which we all know converts sugar to fat and stores it. So, if Insulin makes fat, and soy reduces the production of insulin, then soy has to help your body by actually preventing the storage of fat. Now you see why we love soy protein drinks!

Soy nuts can be mixed with other nuts, like pistachios or peanuts, to eat accompanied by a nice fruit drink, cocktail, or a beer. Offer it to your friends when they come over to play cards or before a nice meal. Soy milk can replace cow's milk to pour over your cereal in the morning or to complete any recipe that requires milk, like pancakes. Soy milk is delicious to drink alone or to pour over a bowl of strawberries.

Maybe the simplest way to eat soy products is to simply purchase soy protein powder, soy meal replacement bars, soy shakes or soy supplements. Take them to work to eat with lunch or a snack. It's worth the effort and your body will thank you if you use these easy ways to incorporate soy into your diet. As you have learnt so far, it is not only beneficial to help you cut down on carbs, but also offer numerous other health benefits.

So the next time you were offered with a weight loss shake, or you want to try something new, try the soy shakes and constantly benefit from these small but wonderful beans.
