If you want to reduce weight, adding soy-based meals and snacks to your weekly menu is a great food option for a healthy weight loss diet. In fact, calorie-controlled diets recommend a regular intake of soy foods. In addition to energy content, dietary nutrition is also important, as a nutritious diet helps the body to burn calories faster and maintains a healthy metabolic rate. Therefore as well as calorie-counting, check food labels for nutritional value. Nutritional and energy values provided on most of the above food pages include: vitamins, minerals, folate and dietary fiber, as well as protein and carbs. Understanding diet nutrition makes calorie control and weight management easier and helps you to follow a healthy eating plan. See also Nutrition in Soy Food
Calorie reduction tip: If you want to reduce your calorie intake because you are on a weight reduction diet plan, the best way is to add more soy protein to your diet and eat less red meat. Also, remember that any physical exercise helps to increase calorie-expenditure and thus allows you to eat lots of soy foods with less risk of gaining weight.
