Dietary supplement
According to US & Canadian Dietary Reference Intake guidelines, the protein Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults is based on 0.8 grams protein per kilogram body weight. The recommendation is for sedentary and lightly active people. Scientific reviews can conclude that a high protein diet, when combined with exercise, will increase muscle mass and strength, or conclude the opposite. The International Olympic Committee recommends protein intake targets for both strength and endurance athletes at about 1.2-1.8 g/kg body mass per day. One review proposed a maximum daily protein intake of approximately 25% of energy requirements, i.e., approximately 2.0 to 2.5 g/kg.
Revival Soy
Two recent studies have suggested that Revival Soy products can be an integral part of a healthy weight loss plan. In one study, overweight women (n=43) were asked to follow a low-energy diet (1,000–1,200 Calories/day) that included 3 shakes with 20 grams of milk protein or 20 grams of Revival Soy protein per day, one pre-packaged entrée, and at least 5 fruits and vegetable servings daily. Compliance with this diet using either milk protein shakes or soy protein shakes resulted in significant weight loss and reductions in body fat. Average weight loss was approximately 26-29 pounds and did not differ significantly between groups. In a second study, overweight, postmenopausal women on a weight maintenance diet were asked to drink either a Revival Soy protein shake (20 g soy protein with 160 mg soy isoflavones) or a milk protein shake (20 g milk protein with no isoflavones) daily for 3 months. Different measures of body fat were evaluated after 3 months. Despite being on a weight maintenance diet plan, total abdominal (belly) fat was reduced in the soy protein group and increased in the milk protein group. These results show that Revival Soy protein can be a highly effective part of a weight loss program.
