The weight loss benefits of High Protein foods
Eating a protein-rich diet can help you lose weight because it can help to avoid overeating. A high protein diet can help build lean muscle when combined with exercise. Lean muscle helps to burn more calories throughout the day, which can also help with weight loss.
Getting rid of stubborn belly fat doesn’t mean you have to get rid of tons of foods to trim your waistline and lose weight. In fact, what’s more impactful is focusing on eating more of the good-for-you foods that have been shown to trim belly fat. Upping your intake of protein and fiber, while emphasizing foods that research shows help to decrease belly fat (like kefir and avocado), is the combination that will give you results.
A high-protein diet helps keep us full and satisfied, which means we are less likely to overeat throughout the day. Fiber also plays an important role in promoting a flat belly and keeping us satisfied—it helps maintain a regular digestive system to reduce bloating, and also promotes healthy gut bacteria.
Why you should avoid gluten
At Lipogon we advocate a gluten free lifestyle for many health reasons.
Many people who decide to use the gluten-free diet to lose weight do so because they’re encouraged by how well it seems to work for others. But how can you make sure the diet will work for you?
Some nutritionists say that dropping gluten from your diet means that you’ve got less you can eat, and therefore are consuming fewer calories overall… which naturally leads to weight loss.
However, other experts—notably, cardiologist Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly—argue that wheat (and not just the gluten protein in wheat) actually augment your appetite, causing you to eat more.
In an interview, Dr. Davis said that wheat contains appetite-stimulating compounds that encourage your body to produce more Insulin, a hormone that can cause you to store fat.
In the presence of Insulin your body cannot burn fat.
The benefits of the High Protein ingredients in these amazing muffins
1. Almond Flour
Lowering ‘bad’ cholesterol and increasing ‘good’ cholesterol levels
There are two types of cholesterol: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
People
HDL, or “good” cholesterol, can absorb cholesterol and carry it to the liver. The liver then removes the cholesterol from the body. High HDL levels can reduce a person’s risk of heart disease and stroke.
Reducing risk of cardiovascular disease in the following ways
- reduce a person’s cholesterol levels
- reduce a person’s body mass index (BMI) and body weight
- reduce a fasting blood sugar levels

1. Eggs
Eggs are one the worlds most nutritious foods
Eggs protect your body in the following ways
- Eating eggs consistently leads to elevated levels of HDL (the “good”) cholesterol, which is linked to a lower risk of many diseases.
- Eggs are among the best dietary sources of choline, a nutrient that is incredibly important but most people aren’t getting enough of.
- The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin are very important for eye health and can help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. Eggs are high in both of them.
- Omega-3 enriched and pastured eggs may contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Eating these types of eggs is an effective way to reduce blood triglycerides.
- Eggs are fairly high in quality animal protein and contain all the essential amino acids that humans need.
- Eggs are highly satiating and may reduce calorie intake later in the day. Regularly eating eggs may promote weight loss.
