“To shed belly fat, it’s good to eat fat–specifically monosaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). When researchers in one study asked women to switch to a 1,600-calorie, high MUFA diet, they lost a third of their belly fat in a month. MUFAs are satiating, so they help you eat fewer poor-quality foods.”

–Dr. David Katz, Director of the Yale Prevention Research Center
