From an article in Prevention - read it, it's fascinating! Foods high in monounsaturated fat (MUFA) actually help you lose belly fat.
1. Nuts and seeds - macadamia nuts contain the highest level.
2. Oils - Olive and canola are good, safflower has the most MUFA
3. Avocado - denser Hass variety packs twice as much as the bright green-skinned FL varieties
4. Chocolate - dark and semisweet are MUFA rich and high in antioxidants
5. Olives - green ones offer more belly-fat-fighting fat than black ones
Currently loosely using the Flat Belly Diet plan. A healthy way of eating for LIFE!

I surely miss my flat belly. I hope to have it back some day!
oo very good..chocolate is on there, lol!
Thanks for your words of encouragement today!
Yay for chocolate lol. =0
So is it double kudos if you eat dark chocolate-covered macadamia nuts then? (Please say yes! lol)
Just wanted to pop by and say hi and happy new year since I haven't been around much. I can't believe we're not even to 15 Jan and I am already swamped. Augh!
Hope Aunt Flo treated you kindly overall. She wasn't too horribly awful to me this visit except for day 1, but I was also far from a scale - which was probably a good thing at that point. ;-)
Best wishes for a wonderful 2008 for you and yours!!!
