Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Zhengxin
Patients typically do not gain weight when consuming soy milk powder in appropriate amounts. Soy milk powder is rich in high-quality protein, which helps supply the body with essential nutrients, and it contains no fat. Moreover, its consumption can accelerate the body’s fat-burning rate, thereby contributing—albeit modestly—to weight loss. When drinking soy milk powder, it is important to avoid taking it on an empty stomach, as this may impair its absorption.
