Many types of powders rich in fiber and protein not only help you feel full longer but also support blood sugar control, digestion and even contribute to the weight loss process.
Nutritionist Lauren Panoff, currently working at the University of Colorado School of Public Health, shared with verywellhealth: Healthy powders are usually low-protein powders, rich in fiber, protein and plant compounds. They bring outstanding benefits compared to refined white flour".
Here are 10 types of flour that are considered the healthiest to support weight loss:
Almond flour: Rich in protein (26g/100g) and fiber (9g), helps create a feeling of fullness for a long time. Gluten-free, suitable for keto, low-carb eaters.

Coconut flour: Has an extremely high fiber content (34g/100g), helping to improve digestion and control hunger. Also contains no gluten and cereals.
Whole wheat flour: Keeping whole wheat and sprouts together should be more nutritious than white wheat flour. Contains 11g of fiber/100g, good digestion support.
