Many of the benefits we receive by eating fruits and vegetables are powered by the phytonutrients they contain, such as carotenoids and flavonoids. According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, almost 90% of Americans are not consuming the recommended two cups of fruits and three cups of vegetables each day to reduce the risk for diet-related diseases (8, 9). Phytonutrients are unique compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods that have positive effects on our health. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, which converts to melatonin, helping regulate the body’s sleep-wake cycle. By providing a good dose of tryptophan, high-quality proteins such as whey are believed to improve sleep by increasing the amino acid’s access to the brain for serotonin production (7).


Protein also improves post-exercise overnight recovery and overall quality of sleep (5, 6). Protein sources that have a higher concentration of branched-chain amino acids are more effective in building muscle and supporting weight maintenance. However, the quality of the protein is key. One study found that older adults who had higher intakes of dietary protein lost 40% less lean muscle mass than those who had a lower protein intake (4). Studies that show diets higher in protein can help fuel weight loss while maintaining muscle mass. Protein requires more energy for your body to digest and utilize, helping boost metabolism after a protein-rich meal (1-3). A higher protein intake can not only help keep you satisfied but can also stimulate a greater thermogenic response compared to carbohydrate and fat. While a balanced diet is essential for a healthy lifestyle, consuming a diet that is rich in protein has been shown to support increased metabolism, greater muscle building, enhanced weight loss, and long-term weight maintenance. As a complement to the BBB, Sleep Support & Renewal™ spray can be used to help promote a good night’s rest. Providing your body with a serving of high-quality protein before bed offers satiety and has a metabolism-boosting thermogenic effect (1). The core components of the BBB include a serving of IsaPro®, blended with Isagenix Fruits or Greens, taken before bedtime. The BBB is a sweet treat that can satisfy your late-night cravings and help you avoid overindulging in less healthy alternatives at the end of a Shake Day. But is it true? Let’s review the science behind the BBB. The word is that you can blast your belly fat and flatten your stomach with a combination of Isagenix products. The Bedtime Belly Buster (BBB) is best described as an overnight sensation.
