Soyfoods and the Renal Diet- The Soy Connection: There is evidence that a high protein diet can help in weight loss control.

There is also good evidence that replacement of carbohydrates with protein lowers serum triglyceride levels. The effect on LDL depends on the level of saturated fat consumed with the protein.
