Soy Protein for Weight ControlFind Products
Why Do Dieters Use It?*
Some dieters say that soy protein provides a source of low-fat, cholesterol-free protein.
What Do the Advocates Say?*
Protein is necessary for rebuilding tissue, which is especially important for bodybuilders. All types of protein provide the body with amino acids.
From an athletic point of view, soy is just another type of protein. Choosing soy protein over other types of protein adds variety to the protein choices available. However, because soy lowers cholesterol, it is an excellent choice for those also trying to lower their cholesterol levels.
Soy is a common ingredient in many meal replacements that are designed to provide a large amount of nutrients in a minimal amount of calories.
