GOLD NUTRITION Protein Low Sugar 60g Cookie And Cream

Two of the most serious current health problems that most people affect are overweight and diabetes. We know that one of the factors that contributes to this is a diet rich in refined carbohydrates (sugars). Sugar stimulates insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that transports glucose into cells. If we stimulate insulin too much, over time we begin to become insulin resistant, that is, it does not bind easily to the cell receptors, so glucose does not enter the cells, it accumulates in the bloodstream and blood glucose rises. . On the other hand, the pancreas itself and its insulin-producing cells start to wear out and progressively produce less of this hormone. Insulin resistance leads to various health problems and an accumulation of fat with predominance in the abdominal area. A diet with less refined carbohydrates (foods with a lower glycemic index) and less glycemic load and more fiber, allows us to improve insulin sensitivity, obtain a better body composition ( less fat and maintaining muscle mass) as well as helping a more balanced lipid profile, that is, better levels of cholesterol and circulating triglycerides With less than 2g of sugar per bar, Low sugar also has a high protein content: with proteins isolated from milk and proteins isolated from whey. Protein isolated from milk consists essentially of casein, a fraction of milk protein that has a slower and longer absorption, thus maintaining a positive balance of amino acids in the blood for a period longer time. Whey protein isolate (WPI) is mostly Whey protein isolate. This protein, in addition to a very complete profile of amino acids – high biological value, such as Casein, is very rich in BCAAs,, has excellent digestibility, rapid absorption and high bioavailability, and after its ingestion we can find between 60 to 90 minutes your amino acids in the blood. Low Sugar bars thus contain a mixture of great fast-absorbing proteins and slow! In its composition, there is also a high content of soluble fibers, as they have a prebiotic effect (stimulate the production of probiotics), increasing the satiating power of meals and, therefore, contributing to a better control of appetite, decreasing also cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and improving blood glucose control without neglecting flavor with the advantage of being low in calories. 9.5 to 11g) and low in sugar (between 1 to 1.6g), it is the perfect snack to: - Improve muscle definition and the loss of fat mass; - Complement hyperprotein diets; - Control appetite and prolong satiety. - Avoiding muscle wasting How to use: - Use one to two bars during training as an immediate source of energy. Drink plenty of water.
