Foods that May Help Fight Belly Fat
According to the Flat Belly Diet! co-author Cynthia Sass RD, states that there are numerous healthy food choices to help you combat belly fat that so many of us are fighting with these days. Remember not only can these foods possibly help you lose the jelly belly but they are good for your health. According to the author these favorite choices are either based on the amount of monounsaturated fatty acids or they are just under 200 calories or less per serving. These foods contain generous amounts of monounsaturated fats which a new study states that they may help reduce belly fat. Here are a few:
Justin’s Natural or Organic Nut Butter Squeeze Pack is one choice in convenient single serving size packets perfect for those people that literally consume peanut butter right from the jar! They also come in several tasty flavors.
Attune Dark Chocolate Probiotic Wellness Bar was one I had to include for all of us chocolate lovers. Apparently it also has probiotics which is the beneficial bacteria found in yogurt.
For edamame lovers there are Emerald Valley Organic Edamame Spreads in several zesty flavors, great to entice you to dip with those hard to get veggies.
Don't forget you still have to watch your total calories, fat is very calorie dense. I always encourage dieters to know and track their calories correctly to ensure weight loss. ND has varoius tools to help you do all this. Use My Tracking to get you started.

I am sorry if I have confused you. What total percentage of fat (of your diet) are you aiming for because that is a deciding factor here. If you are going for a 30% fat of your total calories (1800), 60 grams total fat should be about your goal range. I don't believe 40 is too high for mono fats. If you still have questions feel free to email me at emurphy@weightohealth.com. (Remember too, even grains and vegetables have tiny amounts of fat that would be calculated in a data base, which would bring up your fat percentage.)

Let me rephase the question Elaine. There isn't much data stating how many grams of MUFA's one should consume in a day. I understand there isn't a magic number, however are you aware of any research that has been done where so many grams of mufa's have proven to be heart healthy? I am trying to figure out if consuming 40 grams of mufa's a day is too much (even though my calories are still around 1800). Thank you.

Thanks for the links Elaine. Can you please point me to where I might find information on how many grams of mufa's I should consume. My daily intake of fats are around 75 grams, with most of it being mufa's. I am well aware this is over the RDA of fat's, however I don't want to give up canola oil and peanut butter since there isn't much information backing the 55 grams a day recommended (based on a 1800 calorie diet).

Hi Erik. Here are a few links to check out. But I am sure the calorie count still has to have some part in it as well as you mentioned:http://www.prevention.com/cda/article/we-lost-14-inches-of-belly-fat/4f503d395a5b6110VgnVCM10000013281eac____/weight.loss/flat.belly.diet/flat.belly.diet.success.stories
