From a healthy snack or cinema treat, to a post-workout boost, discover how the IsaLean™ Bars were created to fit your lifestyle. Keep reading for the Top Five reasons you need to get your hands on these delicious bars!
- Convenient snack option
It can be difficult to stay on track with your healthy lifestyle when you’re on the go. This can lead to people choosing quick, unhealthy snacks which are often high in fat and sugar, provide an excess of calories, and offer few positive nutrients such as fibre. IsaLean Bars are perfect for people who are looking for healthy nutrition and have an active or busy schedule. They’re perfectly sized to keep with you for a nutritious and convenient snack option whether you’re travelling, at your desk, or even at home!
- Balanced nutrition
Whether you’re looking to build muscle* or include more protein to help reach your weight loss goal, IsaLean Bar is a quick and convenient way to increase your protein intake. IsaLean Bars are the perfect addition to your daily diet whether you’re following an Isagenix Weight Loss System or an Isagenix Energy and Performance System. IsaLean Bars are convenient, high-protein snacks providing high-quality protein as well as essential carbohydrates, fats and fibre. They contain 18g of protein that supports muscle building*, recovery post-workout and can support weight management (1).
- Great for post-workout nutrition
IsaLean Bars are an ideal choice to support recovery after your workout. After a workout, we should aim to consume some protein within two hours to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and help you get the most benefit from your workout (1, 2). The consumption of whey protein has been shown to lead to greater increases in protein synthesis than vegetable proteins such as soy, stimulating the growth of muscles (3). In addition to this, whey protein is higher in the branched-chain amino acid leucine than plant-based proteins, which has been shown to reduce muscle breakdown and stimulate muscle protein synthesis (1, 3). With 18 grams of whey protein per bar, IsaLean Bars are just what your body needs after a workout.
- Supports weight management
Protein also has a role to play in weight loss and weight maintenance (1). Consuming foods high in protein can help us to feel full, which can also help to control how much we eat between meals and at the next meal. Protein-rich foods also have a greater thermic effect, which means that more energy is required to digest, absorb and metabolise foods rich in protein compared to carbohydrate or fat (4). So, consuming protein can help you to feel full for longer and can help you to burn a few more calories!
