Soy milk consumption timing for weight management

Nutritionist Vinh Van from NISORO HEALTH suggests that while unsweetened soy milk is a beneficial source of plant protein, lecithin, and isoflavones, it should not be viewed as a standalone weight-loss solution. Effective weight management depends on total daily energy intake, meal quality, and physical activity.

To maximize the benefits of soy milk for weight control, two specific timings are recommended. First, consuming it 30 to 60 minutes after exercise can help replenish protein levels for those who work out regularly. Second, drinking an appropriate amount before a meal can increase satiety, helping to control portion sizes during the main meal.
