- 9 grams of high quality protein
- 8 grams of fiber to help you feel fuller and satisfied
- Supports lean muscle mass and a healthy metabolism
GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ is complete with well-balanced ratios of high quality protein, vitamins minerals and fat. Proven effective for weight loss, Lean Shake™ can also help support normal, healthy cholesterol levels, lean muscle mass and a healthy metabolism. When used in conjunction with the reduced calorie meal and exercise plan, this delicious oat-based shake can help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. It features a patented fiber-rich blend that increases your feeling of fullness and satiety so you eat less and wait longer between meals. This combination of functionally-specific fibers includes oat beta-glucan. Oat beta-glucan is a naturally occurring and powerful soluble fiber found in oat bran; it is known as a low-glycemic fiber that supports normal, healthy blood glucose levels. Oat bran and fiber have a slower and more sustained effect on blood sugar and energy levels than when consuming high-glycemic carbohydrate food such as pastries, breads or pasta.
Lean Shake™ offers a good method of weight loss over time. Combine the use of convenient Lean Shake™ with the reduced calorie meal and exercise plan. Just two delicious shakes per day, plus a few simple lifestyle changes, and you can see a totally new you.

Power Up with Protein
Power Up with Protein
Fuel your body more effectively, and get the most from your workoutsDo you ever feel you're slogging through your workouts, barely able to complete what you've planned, and anxious to hit the showers? Or maybe you've wondered how you might take the next step, fuel your body more effectively, and get the most "bang for your buck" from your workouts. Either way, a great place to start is with the basics, and one of the most basic nutrients for optimal athletic performance is protein.The A, B, Cs of protein and performance
Muscles are made of protein, so it's no surprise that protein is vital to enhancing their performance. Knowing what type, how much, and when to fit protein into your daily routine is the key to getting the most from this important nutrient.
Protein particulars
"Wheying" your options
For repairing hardworking muscles after a cardio or resistance training ("weight lifting") workout, nothing beats whey protein. Whey comes from dairy and allows your muscles to refuel effectively. Whey protein is found in powder form and comes in a variety of flavors, making it easy to incorporate into your diet. It can be stirred into yogurt, added to a smoothie, or mixed vigorously with water or another liquid in a lidded container.
The body best absorbs protein when eaten in amounts ranging from 15 to 30 grams in a single meal or snack. Unless you're a serious body-builder, there's no benefit to eating more than 30 grams of protein at one time.
Whey protein makes its way into muscles most efficiently when taken immediately after a workout, ideally within 30 minutes. Eating whey with carbohydrates promotes the movement of the protein from your bloodstream into your muscles as well. Aim for a ratio of 1 gram of protein for every 2 to 4 grams of carbohydrate.
As an example, combine whey powder to provide about 15 grams of protein in a blender with a banana, ice, and water. A large banana adds around 30 grams of carbohydrate and most whey powders contain a bit of carbohydrate as well. This gives you a finished smoothie with 2 to 3 grams of carbohydrate for every gram of protein-an ideal ratio.
HMB power
Amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Hydroxy-methyl butyrate, or HMB, is a breakdown product of leucine, of of the essential amino acids that are used as building blocks of protein. Studies have shown that HMB can improve strength and help the body maintain muscle mass. Ideally, HMB is used in conjunction with strength training to obtain the most benefit; it is not used to improve cardiovascular athletic performance.
Our bodies can make some HMB, but it isn't found in significant amounts in most foods, so taking a supplement is the best way to get enough HMB to enhance a resistance training routine.
The optimal amount of HMB is about 3 grams per day, but there isn't agreement on when to take it for best benefit. In order to avoid having HMB "compete" for absorption with whey protein, try taking this supplement in the morning, at bedtime, or about 15 to 30 minutes before a workout.
Final protein pointers
Be sure you're eating a good quality, well-balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes (beans), and whole grains. Without these essential foods, all the whey protein and HMB in the world isn't going to do you any good. Think about creating a nutrient network in your body; they don't work well in isolation.
Also keep in mind that while whey and HMB are considered safe for most people, there are some who should not use these supplements, including people with impaired kidney or liver function. If you have questions about whether whey and HMB are safe for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Vanilla:
I have to say that all of these flavors caught me off guard and are delicious. I have used another meal replace drink for over a year that cost me over 100$ a bag. I cannot believe that these are only [$] for the same amount of supply. Not only are they cheaper but they actually work! I have not been able to work out for the past 2 weeks with finals and work so using these as meal replacements I have seen a difference. I went from 105lbs to my normal weight of 97 lbs in under a week. Not only did they get me back on track but they gave me the motivation to workout because all the nasty fat was already melted away and I could tone easily. I love these drinks! I recommended getting the single packages because they are the same price as the big container and you get more variety! I also recommend getting an 8-10 oz water bottle to mix them in. I found that putting the water in first, then the powder and mixing it like that instead of in a cup with a spoon it mixed very well. Unlike a lot of these review I actually like the thickness of the shake. The thicker the better, I feel it keeps me fuller longer.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Vanilla:
I must say I really enjoy this product. I am currently trying to lose 40 lbs and I dont like stuff that doesnt taste good. Not only does this product smell good but it taste good too. My only issue is that 8 oz of any liquid is not enough to break it down so that is mixes evenly and is not so grainy or chunky to swallow. Other than that I love it!

Didn't like this at all. The product in other flavors is great, but vanilla was not tastey at all.

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Vanilla:
These shakes are a good meal replacement. I have done my share of "quick fix" meal replacement and diet plans, and none of them seem to work. I started these shakes on Friday, and today is Monday. By following it to the letter, with just diet alone, no exercise, I have already dropped 4-1/2 lbs. They do work. The taste is a little vacuous, but I found if you add just a 1/4 cup of Skim Milk to your shake with the rest of the fluid being water, it adds just enough body and taste to the shake mix to be fullfilling and tasty. It does keep you full all day, and there are no carb withdrawals or food cravings with this shake mix. I enjoy the vanilla flavor much more then the chocolate flavor. Only down side to this shake is that it leaves a slight grease slick in your mouth. But that is easily overcome with a chaser of water or sugarfree soft drink after your last sip of shake mix. Very convenient, and I highly recommend getting a blender cup from GNC to go with these. It helps break down the powder and mix it evenly. HAPPY dieting!

Comments about GNC Lean Shake™ - Vanilla:
I use it as a meal replacement and as a snack. I have been using it with some exercise and find that my metabolism has been jump started. I am 56 and have been trying for the past 10 years to lose weight and I finally am. I have lost at leat 10-15 lbs in the past 3 months or so. The poduct tastes delicious, I look forward to it everyday, It's filling, the only drawback is the cost. I am a college student on a fixed income and I sometimes have to do without it. The sales help but since I use one every three weeks, the cost becomes sometimes prohibitive. Other than that I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight and feel strong.
