Soya Protein for Weight Control
Why Do Dieters Use It?*
Some dieters say that soya 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, soya is just another type of protein. Choosing soya protein over other types of protein adds variety to the protein choices available. However, because soya lowers cholesterol, it is an excellent choice for those also trying to lower their cholesterol levels.
Soya is a common ingredient in many meal replacements that are designed to provide a large amount of nutrients in a minimal amount of calories.
