Soy, Fiber, Dairy, Whey

What type of soy is in Medifast?

Medifast uses Supro™ brand soy protein, a high-quality complete protein derived from soybeans. Supro™ is produced by DuPont's Protein Technologies. DuPont has been conducting soy protein research for more than 30 years.

What are the benefits of soy?

Some research studies have shown that soy protein helps to lower blood cholesterol levels.

Studies show naturally occurring isoflavones (such as those in the Supro brand soy protein) have increased the mineral content and density of bones, which may protect against the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.

Several studies have indicated that a regular intake of soy foods may help to prevent hormone related cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.

Soy works to lower the levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in the blood, and each 1% reduction in LDL cholesterol results in a 2-4 percent reduced risk for heart disease.

Soy reduces triglyceride levels and increases HDL cholesterol levels (good cholesterol which further reduces the risk of heart disease.

Soy isoflavones, which are natural estrogen sources, may help reduce menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes or night sweats.

Soy is a complete protein, providing all of the essential amino acids.

Medifast has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I have lost 80 pounds in only 7 months and I have never felt so healthy. In-between having two children and my unhealthy eating habits, I have gained 100 pounds in the last 6 years. Playing with my children became difficult and just keeping up with my everyday housework became difficult as well, I just haven't had the energy. I was feeling so unhealthy, it seemed I caught every cold and flu out there. I tried just about every diet in the book including, pills, Weight Watchers and cabbage soup, you name I've tried it.

Study 4

PURPOSE: The 18-month study, (6-month weight loss phase, 12-month maintenance phase) examined a joint parent-child dieting approach, as opposed to an individually based approach, to improve weight loss outcomes. It compares diet using Medifast meal replacements to a non-supplemented Food Guide pyramid based diet. Comparative points include overall weight loss, compliance, palatability, dietary quality and dietary satisfaction. The study also examines whether children who lose weight-using Medifast meal replacements as an adjunct to a Food Guide-pyramid based diet achieve health benefits compared to baseline values and are these health benefits greater than those obtained following the reference diet.
