Whey protein and soy milk shake?!
Question: I recently read an article about a woman who lost a significant amount of weight using a whey protein and soy milk combination. I am unable to find the article and can't find this particular information online. Has anyone heard of this or tried it? What exactly do you do?
I currently have organic unsweetened soy milk at home and saw whey protein powder. Just blend them together? Add yogurt or fruit or anything?
Thanks for any assistance!!

i've been dieting on this for a while, and i vary it depending on if i jsut want to feel active or actually lose weight.
If you have the powder, mix it with the soy milk, usually it's 2 cups of milk to one scoop of power.. or.. about 1/3 cup of powder, but you don't have to be exact at all, you can add up to twice as much powder, which gives you more of the sustinance in the powder[vitamins, protein, which ever is in it] you can use regular fat free milk too, you can add a cup of yogurt, it makes it like a smoothy, it's very open to what you'd liek to do. add some fruit in a blender. fruits have natural sugars, which are good for your body and dont' fatten you up like candy and soda. though it's better to lose weight over longer periods of time, if you want to lose weight faster, just replace the drink with meals, but don't go to a full liquid diet. it's very intricate and detailed as to what you need in your body and causes alot of side effects if you messed it up, you need to eat at least one solid food meal a day.
you should eat 5-6 meals a day [including shakes.. like a shake for breakfast is one meal, easting some fruit or a snack bar or yogurt, soemthing like that is another meal, then a shake is your third meal again, then again a salad, yogurt, fruit, veggies, snack bar, ect is your 4th meal, then an actually dinner is your fifth meal, and the nif you need another snack again, that's your 6th meal.]
I work, so it's hard for me to follow a schedule like that, so what I do is fill up a bottle with my shake mix and jsut drink periodically while i'm working, as well as water. drink LOTS of water!! it fills you up and it's best when you're fully hydrated. salt retains water in your body, but if you're prone to holding water weight then cut out the salt in your diet, but you still need to constantly drink water because of that.
you can lose weight by not really moving around much while you're on this, but it's very slow. excersize, even if it's a little. or stand more often then you need to. the more you do the faster you loose weight, but i do 3 times a week jsut for 20 mins and i lose about 2-3lbs a week on average.. i mean sometimes it's 10lbs and the ni gain or 8 more lbs, so the 2-3lbs is on average between the wavering. my weight has always wavered alot from day to day. some people lose alot more than that, some less. depends on your own body and your activity level.
don't combine diet pills with this, if anything advoid them at all. not liek i haven't taken them or they haven't worked for me, but when I've combined that I actually got a kidney infection, 3 times until i caught on that it was from this. not to mention my bloodsugars would drop randomly and you get really dizzy or feel the need t vomit. I'm jsut warning you.
This diet also makes me feel very well. even when I didn't lose weight I felt very energized after a little while, I felt bette about myself, I didn't get as tired with activities as I had and I slept better. and because I felt so good I felt the need to get going more in excersizing which made me lose the weight afterwards anyways.
You would be getting calcium from the soy milk and yogurt
Protein from the dairy products
carbs from the fruit
fat from the yoghurt
calories
soluable fibre
minerals and vitamins
It sounds like a pretty healthy mix but perhaps a supplement for iron would be beneficial? You might get bored of the same thing every day through and thats a bed recipe for disaster.
