Medifast combines Supro Soy, a high-quality complete protein, with “good” carbs. This winning combination allows you to lose weight rapidly without compromising your health or muscle. Low carbohydrate programs can often cause our bodies to lose muscle, even when we consume adequate protein. This is because we need the assistance of “good carbs” to help assimilate protein in our bodies. In addition, Medifast Supro Soy, produced by DuPont Protein Technologies, is a complete protein. This is important, as many commercial soy products do not use the shell of the soy bean, creating an incomplete protein.
