Arbonne Essentials Protein

Why Is Protein So Important For My Regular Diet?

Protein is essential for growth and repair and makes up about 15% of the mass of the average person. Much of the human body is constructed from protein molecules, which play a crucial role in virtually all of the body’s biological processes. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Some of these amino acids are produced naturally by the body; however nine amino acids are essential, meaning that the body does not make them and has to consume these amino acids from animal- or plant-food sources. Which Protein Powder Should I Use?

The most common sources for protein powders are whey (a dairy or animal protein) and soy (a plant-based protein). Research on both soy and whey proteins reveals a number of related health concerns or side effects associated with their use:

SOY – National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health, and the Harvard School of Public Health recommend individuals limit their soy intake to approximately 2-4 servings a week (16-32oz of soy milk or ½ cup-1 cup of tofu a week). Consuming large amounts of soy protein can provoke allergies, increase cancer risks, contribute to weight gain, lead to enlarged thyroid, and reduce the efficacy of some prescription medications.1 WHEY – Misconceptions about whey have lead bodybuilders to think they need large amounts of whey to succeed, when in fact, excess protein intake can result in abdominal pain, gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Additionally, whey protein is taken so easily that overindulgence is likely, leading to

weight gain. As a milk derivative, whey is simply not an option for someone who suffers from milk allergies or lactose intolerance. The Mayo Clinic has warned that whey, like soy, can also have a negative effect on certain medications and other supplements.2

The Arbonne Difference: Vegan Protein Powder

Most vegetable proteins are incomplete proteins and only offer a few essential amino acids, while animal proteins offer all essential amino acids and are considered complete proteins. Arbonne Essentials Protein offers a 100% amino acid score, supplying all

essential amino acids from vegetable sources, satisfying nutritional needs for omnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike.

The Arbonne Essentials Protein blend provides 20 grams of protein from three different sources: pea, cranberry and rice proteins. Arbonne Essentials Protein is soy-, lactose- (whey),

and gluten-free.

How Much Protein Is Enough? An average, a healthy adult needs 1 gram of protein per 2.2lbs of body weight per day (roughly half your body weight). For example, a 150 lb adult would need 70 grams per day divided between meals for basic nutrition. Each serving of Arbonne Essentials Protein is 20 grams of protein (2 scoops), nearly one meal’s worth. You can use the Arbonne Essentials Protein to

lose, gain, or maintain weight.

Weight Loss:

Arbonne's 30 Days to Fit program, linked below, is designed primarily for weight loss by implementing nutritious meal replacements with Protein Shakes for 2 out of 3 meals each day for 30 days. One bag of Arbonne Essentials Protein contains 30 servings. Two bags will last 30 days at 2 shakes a day for meal replacements. Add Arbonne Fit Essentials Fiber Boost to increase your daily fiber intake and assist your liver in detoxing as your body reduces.

Healthy Weight and Muscle Gain: For active men and women who regularly exercise, protein consumed within an hour after working out will provide amino acids for the building and repair of muscle tissue. If you wish to gain weight (especially muscle mass), simply continue eating normal meals and enjoying the Arbonne Essentials Protein ideally after the workout session for muscle recovery.

Weight Management: If weight maintenance is your goal, Arbonne Essentials Protein shake makes a great breakfast or lunch on the go. Add fruits or veggies to make a smoothie. Add Arbonne Fit Essentials Fiber Boost to increase your daily fiber intake. See the recipes on my website for smoothie ideas - each recipe creates approximately one 500-calorie smoothie.

Healthy Shakes For Children

Children can also benefit from Arbonne Essentials Protein, particularly when included in smoothies made with whole foods like spinach, kale, berries, avocado, or banana. For a 30 lb child, the recommended serving would be approximately 5 grams or a half scoop of Protein Powder.

Arbonne Uses Natural Sweeteners – NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS

Arbonne’s Protein Powders are naturally sweetened with cane sugar and stevia, a natural herb with

no side effects. However, many comparable products on the market save calories in their protein

shakes by using artificial sweeteners, a popular solution for anyone counting calories to lose or

maintain weight. But ironically, mounting evidence shows that artificial sweeteners, besides having

many serious side effects, may actually contribute to weight gain, increasing food cravings and

instructing your body to store fat.³

According to Dr. Mark Hyman, “Tricking your brain into thinking you are getting something sweet

plays dirty tricks on your metabolism. Artificial sweeteners disrupt the normal hormonal and

neurological signals that control hunger and satiety (feeling full). Alarmingly, Dr. Hyman references

a study that found “rats offered the choice of cocaine or artificial sweeteners always picked the

artificial sweetener, even if the rats were previously programmed to be cocaine addicts.”

Replace Expensive Energy Drinks and Soda

Arbonne’s Energy Fizz Sticks are free of artificial sweeteners, offering an alternative to energy

drinks and diet sodas. Arbonne Energy Fizz Sticks make the body alkaline (opposite of acidic)

reducing your risk of heart disease, arthritis, cancer, diabetes and other disease. Additionally

Arbonne Energy Fizz Sticks provide antioxidants and B vitamins for a healthful pick-me-up. Popular

energy drinks cost between $1.99-$6.99 per serving, while Energy Fizz Sticks can cost as little as

$1.04.
