Their taste usually isn\u2019t too good and besides the protein, the rest of the bar isn\u2019t too healthy. I would prefer an alternative source of protein like nuts, legumes, meat, eggs, or protein shakes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gwendolyn J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would keep an eye on the labels and see just how much sugar and&#x2F;or added sugar is involved. For weight loss, you only want 15-30 grams of sugar a day I believe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Virgil Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Make try and find an alternative to these, by supplementing them with bio ones. However, in my opinion, I would not take protein bars, as they can affect you digestive system on the long term, and also, you do not know what is inside of them. Try and eat nuts, yogurt or maybe even some bread with a healthy topping on it&#8230; Happy eating!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brent F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have learned that its not only about calories, we need also to educate our brain to need less sweet food, taking that into account choose less sweet snacks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Patricia Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Go ahead and make your own protein bars. They\u2019re easy to make and they\u2019re great recipes on line. You\u2019ll know exactly how much sugar etc. you\u2019ll be eating and bars will be fresh ingredients with no chemicals. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anne Katrin F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No. Most sugar free snacks have some kind of sugar substitute which still raises insulin levels and feeds your sugar cravings. Consider eating bars with zero added sugar.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Zoe T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think you need to see a doctor for this. But, in my opinion, you can read what they put instead of sugar in this bars you take. Some substances are even worse than sugar. How about eat fruits? It worked for me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dila Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">As a personal trainer, I always recommend for my clients to try their best to get their protein by eating animals or their byproducts rather than relying on processed protein products because they also contain vitamins and minerals that are better absorbed in their natural form. I say to only eat processed protein products only if you aren\u2019t getting enough protein from the rest of your diet throughout the day. As far as controlling your sugar intake, always read the label and check the ingredients. Lower carbohydrate amounts cause less of an insulin spike because not as much sugar enters your bloodstream after ingestion.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gloria N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have heard that a lot of companies try to advertise sugar free as much as possible to increase sales and get onto the trend, but I have also seen that those same food products contain a bunch of artificial sweeteners or extra oils and fats. Follow the advice of qualified dieticians on Instagram or Facebook for a clear view on this!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julius F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sugar free ones should be safe from the name, I would guess. Though it&#39;s important to read the labels and ensure you&#39;re aware of what balance you&#39;re taking in.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis T.
