Why You Should Turn To Soy Shakes To Lose Weight

By Elaine Davis


What exactly are the benefits for soy replacement meals for weight loss? Do they work? Do they taste good? Will they work for the average person? Yes, you can lose weight with this method, and there are health benefits, to boot. Let's take a look with soy shakes to lose weight.

Soy shake mixtures help a person cut on calories by replacing the snacks that they currently eat in their diet. For example, instead of having a high-calorie can of cola (which as well as being high in calorie, is also nutritionally-bankrupt) you have a soya-based shake. Soy shakes tend to only have around 200 calories, up to 200 less than conventional drinks.

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.

Although being healthy is, of course, beneficial for losing calories, most dietitians agree that the best way to reduce calories is a combination of calorie reduction and metabolism maintenance. This means that you don't have to necessarily eat healthily, as long as you stay full on fewer calories than you did previously.

There are numerous do-it-yourself shake recipes that you can make use of. Almost all the recipes are simple to do. You will have to combine the protein powder in milk or water and combine it in a blender accompanied by a fresh fruit. These kinds of shakes for losing weight also taste great and are available in numerous flavors. In this way, you can select a flavor of your preference. If the shake is dull, you can include spices to make the shake taste good. If you want the flavor of coffee, you may also include coffee in your shake.

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.

When it comes to these shakes, you can either get a pre-prepared weight loss formula or powder from a health food store, or you can start from scratch. If you're using a pre-prepared mix, simply add water and mix or blend and you have a weight loss shake. This style is useful if you lack time, energy or motivation to make your own.

If you are a purist, you will opt to make your protein shakes from scratch - which is not that hard to do actually. Or you can straddle the two styles and add something to the shakes such as a banana or other fruits (such as a variety of berries) to make your calorie drink more tasty and pleasant to drink.
