Does soy milk cause weight gain?

Only if you drink three liters of it while sitting on the couch watching movies all day, haha! Otherwise, soy milk is quite low in calories. It won't make you gain weight unless you are pairing it with extra donuts.

When I transitioned to a plant-based diet, I consulted the clinical nutritionist at Fortis Hospital. She clearly explained that soy milk contains lean protein which actually aids weight management. If you have concerns, ask your doctor for a proper diet chart.

I am thinking of shifting to soy milk because dairy gives me acne, but I am scared of gaining weight. Does anyone know if the unsweetened version tastes okay, or does it have a very strong beany smell?

If soy milk caused weight gain, my fitness-obsessed daughter would have banned it from our fridge long ago! It's actually quite light on the stomach. I drink it sometimes and only my age is increasing, not my weight, luckily.

I have high blood pressure, so keeping my weight in check is critical. Soy milk has heart-healthy fats and actually helped me reduce cholesterol when I swapped it with full-cream milk. Keep a track of your overall lifestyle and you'll be fine.

Weight gain is caused by an accumulation of heavy foods and lack of movement. Organic, natural soy milk is light and easy to digest, so it will not cause weight gain. Combine it with your regular morning yoga for the best benefits.
