Avocados may help you lose weight by keeping you satisfied for longer, but the weight reduction effect extends well beyond satiety, according to the study. Nonetheless, eating an avocado at noon makes sense since it will keep you from feeling hungry for the next five hours, according to a nutritionist who has studied the advantages of this unusual fruit (yes, avocados are in fact fruit). That’s why you need to try this simple avocado smoothie!
Simple Avocado Smoothie Recipe
1 Avocado
1 cup of sprouted almonds (peeled)
1-2 cups of the fresh juice of your choice of rice, soy, or almond milk
Agave nectar or maple syrup to taste
Mix all ingredients together in a blender until it becomes creamy
Researchers claim that substituting monounsaturated and oleic fatty acid-rich cooking and finishing oils like avocado oil may spot-reduce abdominal fat, potentially lowering the likelihood of metabolic syndrome—the term for a group of unfavorable health indicators linked with weight increase.
According to a Penn State research, individuals who ingested 40 grams (approximately 3 tablespoons) of high-oleic oils on a daily basis for four weeks lost 1.6 percent of their belly fat compared to those who consumed a flax/safflower oil mix, which is rich in polyunsaturated fat.
A second research published in the journal Diabetes Care showed similar findings: A monounsaturated fat-rich diet may actually prevent body fat distribution around the abdomen by down-regulating the expression of certain fat genes.
One tablespoon of mild and slightly nutty-flavored avocado oil has approximately 120 calories and 10 grams of monounsaturated fat—a nutritional profile that is almost similar to that of extra virgin olive oil. However, unlike EVOO, avocado oil has a very high smoke point, allowing you to use it for sautés and stir-frys without fear of producing free radicals that may damage your health.
