The Benefits Of Soy Protein Shakes For Weight Loss

By Shelly Corlu


Is a soy protein shake as effective as a whey shake? Many fitness enthusiasts have complained that soy is not as effective compared to whey. However, the results are hardly surprising. Whey shakes is extracted from milk and is more easily absorbed by the body. In fact, there is no need to wait for the digestive system to break down the proteins into amino acids. Whey itself contains BCAAs that can be absorbed by the body instantly. For this reason, you can expect whey to outperform soy protein for weight loss. But wait a minute!

The best sources of proteins include the poultry products you eat every day, legumes, nuts, fish and eggs. Amino acids are also the boosting nutrients used in the weight loss marketing industry to promote energy building and weight loss programs. High and rich in amino acids like soya are being used for some essential shakes including the soy weight loss products.

Firstly, there is the issue of cost. Protein powder is very expensive. Secondly, some individuals may be sensitive to these products. Soy is one of the best shake replacements you will ever find. For any shake, if you want a smoother texture, always use a frozen banana. The banana will give the shake a nicer texture. Bananas also provide additional fiber and vitamins for the body.

Adding soybeans in the form of edamame into your diet will be easy. Buy frozen edamame and instead of steaming green beans or broccoli, steam edamame. Then serve it hot and lightly salted as an appetizer before the meal, or as a side dish with the main meal.

Soy shake drinks help you gain muscle mass by providing a large amount of amino acids, nutrients and energy - all of which are important in building muscle. What the soya does is provide what are called essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are amino acids your body needs, but which the body itself cannot make and so external factors are relied upon.

Here's a fun fact - in one of the world's top soy consumers, Japan, women are only one-third as likely to report symptoms of Menopause as anywhere else in the world! Think about it. One little soy shake every day, and you could avoid those hot flashes, and the other stuff we might not talk about today. (Another fun fact: Its so rare in Japan, there isn't even a Japanese word for "hot-flash").

Even, more importantly, the soy also regulates cholesterol and is known to increase your metabolism and help remove excess fat that is hiding your muscle. In short, it is pretty much one of the best muscle building foods that you can find.

You can replace any breakfast, lunch or dinner with a cool low calorie shake or you can blend up a shake as a healthy snack to tide you over until your next meal. A shake is easy to digest and gives you plenty of nutrients. Because shakes are easy to digest, they also offer your body a chance to rid itself of built up chemicals and waste that may be lurking in your intestine.
