What are MUFAs?

MUFA stands for monounsaturated fatty acids. Prevention Magazine's Flat Belly Diet suggests eating MUFAs with every meal. Prevention Magazine also states that research has shown that adding controlled portions of MUFAs, healthy fats, can help you feel full longer. See March 2009 issue of Prevention Magazine for more information

Some healthy fats that are listed in The Flat Belly Diet book are nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, avocados, and green and black olives.

I have not jumped fully into The Flat Belly Diet, but I am incorporating some of the MUFAs into every meal. I do have to admit that I feel fuller with each meal. I am not eating as many in- between "snacks".

Because I have this allergy/sensitivity to wheat I can not eat some of the foods listed on The Flat Belly Diet. Once I figure out a good substitute for the wheat products I will be ready to jump right in.
