GBG's Protein Shakes - Frequently Asked Questions*

Q: How much protein and fiber is in each shake?

Q: Why is fiber so important to the diet?
A: Dietary fiber — found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes — is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But fiber can provide other health benefits as well, such as lowering your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Fiber makes us feel full sooner and stays in our stomach longer than other substances we eat, slowing down our rate of digestion and keeping us feeling full longer. Fiber also moves fat through our digestive system faster so that less of it is absorbed.

Q: How do allergens impact our daily health?
A: An allergy is an adverse reaction toward what is called an allergen, or specifically, the material that causes the allergic reaction. When you ingest something that causes an allergic reaction in your body, the immune system is said to be hyperactive to this material, and with that, the immune system activates to quash what it sees as a threat.

Q: How can protein in my diet help me lose weight?
A: Protein-rich foods don't travel as quickly from the stomach to the intestine. This basically means your stomach empties at a much slower rate - so you feel fuller longer, and as a result, eat less. Proteins don't cause a spike in blood sugar levels - and the subsequent crash. The body also has to use more energy to digest protein - you actually burn more calories in the process.

Q: Is it safe to take a protein shake 30 minutes after consuming my 10-in-One Multivitamin?

Drinking a protein shake and taking a multivitamin can help build and repair muscles and tissue, while adding to your nutritional needs. You can drink your protein shake and take your multivitamin at any time of the day.

Q: What should I mix my protein supplement with?
A: We do suggest to mix your protein with water for the best results in weight loss. However you can also use juice, milk or whatever you like that fits in best with your nutritional goals.
