Soy protein has received a lot of attention for its ability to aid in weight loss and weight management. The overall key to weight management is finding the right balance between diet and exercise, and studies suggest that soy protein may be an important part of the process! Research confirms the importance of a diet that includes plant protein, such as soy, as it may be a significant factor in controlling caloric intake. Protein makes you feel full, or increases your state of satiety, for longer than if you ate mostly carbohydrates. The feeling of being full can lead to eating fewer calories during the day! Soy foods have fewer calories, less fat and more protein than many other sources of protein. Therefore, top-quality, lean protein from soy foods can aid in weight control and limit the craving for more food! The importance of these findings cannot be understated in the midst of a society where obesity has become an epidemic of vast proportion. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture advocate selecting lean sources of protein and eating foods that are higher in potassium, calcium, magnesium and other essential vitamins and nutrients, but lower in saturated fat and cholesterol. Soy foods can help Americans meet these dietary goals. Soy protein is not only low in fat, it is cholesterol free. So avoid eating too much, increase your physical activity, and choose a proper diet complete with a variety of delicious soy food products. This balance and healthy lifestyle will help you manage your body weight, reduce stress, and maintain proper weight, not to mention a whole host of other benefits that come from a health conscious lifestyle!

Don’t despair! There are ways to succeed in keeping your New Years resolutions. While statistically most people fail their resolutions within 30 days, you can be among those who find success. The following are a few tried and true tips that will help you keep your resolutions for life! Make a Plan of Attack Plan now how you are going to keep your resolutions, how you are going to deal with temptation, and your plan of escape should you get too close to the fire. Make your plan specific. Your plan may include a list of people you are going to stay away from, or specific places where you regularly indulged your habits. If you are trying to lose weight, write down the specific aisles of the grocery store you are not going to drive your cart down. Whatever your resolution make a solid and specific plan to achieve your goal. Be Accountable Let some people know what you are doing, and ask them to hold you accountable to the task. Whether friends or family ask them if it’s okay to give them a call when you are struggling, or even have them call you every so often to check up on your progress. Who knows? Your transparency, determination and new lifestyle might rub off on them! Don’t Plan to Fail Successful resolution needs to have a strong determination. If you leave yourself room to go back to your old habit you are sure to go there. Don’t entertain the thought of failure, but if you do happen to slip don’t beat yourself up. Use the slip as a launching pad for an even stronger resolve. Let it make you angry that your habit has such a strong hold on you and go after it again. Stick to it! Your success depends on your determination and discipline to go the distance. Most experts agree that most habits take some time to develop. It takes about 21 days for a new activity to become a habit and 6 months or more for it to become engrained in your lifestyle. This may vary a little from person to person, but if you stay the course your new habits will become second-nature. Reward yourself Make sure to give yourself a pat on the back for your success, but make sure you are wise about it. If your resolution is to lose weight, don’t reward yourself with a gallon of ice cream because you lost five pounds. Find another special way to reward yourself. Maybe it’s some new clothes or a massage. Be creative and enjoy the rewards. We hope the New Year brings you health and success. If your resolution is to lose weight in 2008 remember that a diet rich in Soy may be a significant factor in controlling caloric intake.

 We could fill the pages of a thousand books with the stories of people who carried through on their resolutions to change their lifestyles and went on to lead long, productive and happy lives. Success stories remind all of us that it is possible to achieve great things by making the decision to change a damaging lifestyle and embrace a better life. One story stands out among the rest. 400 years ago a nobleman named Luigi Cornaro found himself struggling for life because of what he chose to put into his body. Maybe his story will inspire you enough to keep your resolutions this year, and for life. One of the most well-known stories of how someone made the resolution to change and kept that resolution for life comes from a man named Luigi Cornaro. More than 400 years ago in Italy, Cornaro, a nobleman, found himself younger than 40 years old a weak, sick and dying man. And Luigi wasn’t facing death because of disease or genetic failure, but as a result of the lifestyle he chose to live. You see Luigi lived freely, admittedly indulging so heavily on food and drink that death stared him in the face. But Luigi Cornaro didn’t want to die. When physicians told him that he would be dead within months should he continue to eat and drink as he did, Luigi made the resolution that he would do whatever it took to live. In short, Cornaro resolved to turn from the lifestyle that put him face to face with death and embraced a diet and lifestyle that would bring him life. Luigi recognized that his resolution must be kept at all costs, realizing that he must form the powerful habits of a healthy life. In Luigi’s own words, "It is a thing past all doubt that custom, by time, becomes a second nature, ..... This is so undeniably true that virtuous men, by conversing with the wicked, very often fall into the same vicious course of life. The contrary, likewise, we see sometimes happen: viz, that, as good morals easily change to bad, so bad morals change again to good. For instance, let a wicked man, who was once virtuous, keep company with a virtuous man, and he will again become virtuous; and this alteration can be attributed to nothing but the force of habit, which is, indeed, very great." Luigi recognized that the resolution to develop good habits is a possible and powerful force. The story of Luigi is told today because of the decision he made to stick to his resolution. He lived a long, productive and successful life, authoring his first of many writings at age 81. As a result of the dietary and other changes he made, Cornaro lived 100 healthy and productive years, finally passing on peacefully while taking a nap in his rocking chair. The story of Luigi Cornaro is an inspiration and terrific example of what is possible when resolutions are kept. Your situation may not be as bad as that of Luigi Cornaro, but you may have a clue that the eating habits you are practicing could eventually lead to major health problems. Like Luigi recognized 400 years ago, more and more nutritionists, physicians and other health care professionals are waking up and concluding that a proper diet is the most powerful weapon we have against sickness and disease. And more research is showing how powerful soy can be in building health and longevity. For more information on how soy can help you live a life of good health visit us at www.genisoy.com.
