Avocado
As per science news by Penn State, replacing cooking oils with high-oleic oils in the diet has significantly reduced abdominal fat. Another study published in the journal Diabetes Care indicates a similar result and proves the monounsaturated fat-rich diet helps prevent fat accumulation around the belly.
Fortunately, avocado is abundant in monounsaturated and oleic fatty acids. The proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids, like oleic, in avocados, takes up to 56.58-74.19%. Therefore, it is ideal for decreasing belly fat and promoting overall weight loss. In addition, avocados are good appetite suppressants. Thanks to their low-calorie content, eating avocados provides the same satiety as a big meal. Those taking half a fresh avocado with lunch reported a decreased eating desire a few hours later. [6]
