Soy protein is an excellent source of high-quality protein that can help you build lean muscle mass. Plus, soy protein provides a good source of energy from calories and branched-chain amino acids. When combined with exercise and a healthy diet, soy protein makes an excellent “partner” in a successful diet plan.
Expert Nutritional Research: Supporting Your Weight Management Goals
Dr. James W. Anderson, MD, is widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the clinical study of soy protein and human metabolism. He is best known as the lead author of a landmark 1995 meta-analysis published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which established global scientific recognition for the cardiovascular benefits of soy protein.
In a clinical trial funded in part by our company, Dr. Anderson documented a steady, sustainable weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week for women consuming three soy shakes daily as part of an intensive, energy-restricted weight management program which included one prepackaged entrée and five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. As part of this supervised protocol, participants were also instructed to keep a record of all food and supplement use.
