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, over a longer period of time than if you consume 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 Agricultureadvocate 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 overeating, 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, not to mention a whole host of other benefits that come from a health conscious lifestyle!

Tips to Keeping Your Resolutions

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.  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 a new outfit 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 2009 remember that a diet rich in soy may be a significant factor in controlling caloric intake. It has been found that 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!  Whatever your resolution make sure to choose a proper diet complete with a variety of delicious soy food products.
