Can you fight Fat with Fat?
Incredible as it sounds, it is true. Not all fats are created equal. There are fats that are not only good for you, they can also help lower your body fat, especially around the trunk!
Multiple studies at reputed medical centers in various countries have shown that Monounsaturated fats (MUFA) can cause weight loss as well as loss of body fat. They may also help reduce 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol and lower blood sugar.
So what foods have MUFA?
Here are some examples:
1. Oils: Olive, canola, saffola, flaxseed, peanut, sunflower, soybean and sesame.
2. Nuts: almonds, cashews, peanuts, pecans, pinenuts, walnuts.
3. Avocado: esp Hass avocado
4. Olives: black and green.
5. Chocolate: minus the sugar of course!
