A warning has been issued regarding the frequent use of protein bars.
Milli.Az reports that specialists state that regular consumption of these products can prevent the proper formation of the feeling of fullness. According to them, since they have an ultra-processed texture, they require little chewing, which makes it difficult for the brain to recognize them as fully valuable food.
The dietitian added that some flavorings in protein bars can cause bloating and digestive discomfort. It is also noted that these products contain components that can cause low-level inflammation.
It is not recommended to consume many protein bars a day, and these products should not replace main meals but only be used as snacks.
It is especially advised that people with gastrointestinal problems, those allergic to milk protein or sensitive to flavorings, as well as those experiencing insulin resistance, stay away from protein bars.
