How does it help? What’s the science behind it?
As a dietitian, eating foods high in monounsaturated fats daily can speed up belly fat loss and help maintain healthy body mass or weight. MUFA are among the good fats the body needs for energy and warmth to prevent inflammation, enhance nutrient absorption, and support weight loss. Monounsaturated fats are plenty in avocados, olive or canola oil, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, dark chocolate, and sesame seeds. Adding these foods to your diet replaces the unhealthy fats in processed foods and keeps you full for longer durations. MUFAs prevent fat accumulation in the abdomen as it’s evenly used in the body and reduce inflammation which can cause weight gain. MUFA foods can enhance blood glucose regulation, lower harmful cholesterol levels, prevent visceral fat build-up, and improve metabolism and insulin sensitivity, eventually leading to a flatter belly.
What’s the best way the eating habit should be implemented?
You can opt to incorporate MUFAs in your meals by ensuring you eat foods high in these healthy fats either for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Avocado, nuts, almonds, peanut butter, and other MUFAs are ideal snacks to curb your hunger feelings. Cook your food using canola or olive oils, and prepare avocado smoothies to top your meals.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
