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.

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.

Well, by eating a more balanced diet, you'll just plain feel better. And depending on the ingredients of the meal replacement bars and shakes, you might be more energized. An example might be if extra B vitamins were in the meal replacement. Did I mention the benefit of weight loss? Yes, as you will be limiting your calories, but at the same time, maximizing your nutrition - a potent combination if ever there was one.

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.

It's not recommended to substitute a meal with a shake. A good time to take a shake is early in the morning. After dinner, you've fasted for about eight hours. Therefore, ingesting protein can get it digested quicker in your body. Another perfect time to drink a shake is actually after working out. After the workout, the muscle tissues have to rebuild and restore, hence, it's recommended to ingest shakes right after a workout.

Now, bear in mind, protein soy formula don't' contain nutrients that are required, but with all the positive effects, it should be.

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.

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.
