The time for a 100 crunches a day is finally over.
A Spanish research team has found that certain types of food actually removes belly fat. It removes not only the visual fat that we see on our stomachs but also the dangerous fat around our intestines.
Surprisingly, the food is: Fat
Mono unsaturated fats
Who would have thought that fat would hold the key to a fat stomach. So don’t worry about low fat anymore go for right fat instead.
One thing about foods that are high in mono unsaturated fats is that they are great as snacks. Always keep a bag of raw nuts in your purse, your car and your office drawer. Munch on marinated olives in front of the TV. And eat avocados and guacamole as often as you can.
Here are ideas for 7 days of flat tummy snacks. Eat them during the day or in the evening, maybe in front of the TV.
Snacking is healthy! Just watch what you snack on.
7 days of healthy snacks:
- Monday: ½ cup of peanuts and 1 apple
- Tuesday: Rye bread and mashed avocado (mash the avocado with a fork and spread on your sandwich)
- Wednesday: Herring on whole wheat toast topped with halved cherry tomatoes
- Thursday: 1/2 cup of pistachio nuts and 1 banana
- Friday: Marinated olives, your favorite raw nuts and some cucumber pickles.
- Saturday: Baby carrots with guacamole dip. Try Leslie’s recipe with great instructions.
- Sunday: Flat stomach smoothie: ½ cup of natural yogurt, 200 grams frozen berries, ½ banana, 1 tablespoon rolled oats, 4 cup of your favorite juice, a pinch of natural vanilla.
If you are very serious about getting a flat tummy fast you might want to look at your whole diet. I suggest that you follow these flat tummy diet guidelines:
- Eat plenty of mono unsaturated fats
- Olives and olive oil
- Avocado and avocado oil
- Oats
- Raw nuts
- Lin seeds and linseed oil
- Sesame seeds and sesame seed oil
- Herring
- Choose whole grain products. The dietary fibers will ensure a good digestion and remove bloating
- Eat as much fresh fruits and vegetables as you can. They will give you plenty of nutrients without a lot of calories
- Add some meat and fish to provide you with proteins to give you a full feeling.
- Avoid sugar, white flour, white rice and alcohol.

Avocados are a great source of good fats! I have an easy and delicious recipe for guacamole that takes about 2 minutes to make. Sooo good for you!
Cool info, really useful and by the looks of it tasty. I’m buying some nuts tomorrow.
nice healthy post.
Very good information. Very important to avoid # 5. You have a great selections of snacks.
I have to say this works…I have been eating like this for years and still flat bellied!
Great information which can easily be applied
This is a great post - avocados and olives are some of my favorite foods, but I try not to eat them too often because of fat. You just changed my mind about that!
Lovely post, but I’d argue that is sending people the totally wrong message.
People on the internet read things fast and by scanning over your article what they see is “Eat fat” and be skinny, which is totally wrong and the problem (along with sedentary lifestyles) why there are so many overweight people. Fat = 9 cal per gram and that’s the first thing that should be mentioned
Love Avocados though, everything in moderation
And you spelled Herring incorrectly.
I found some cocoa-roasted almonds at Costco this week - they have just the slightest chocolaty coating, and are a very satisfying snack. Other than that, I eat lots of pistachios. Are they fattening?
It goes to show that “eating fat doesn’t make you fat”, certain kinds of fat that is. i read somewhere that modern degenerative deseases are almost non existent in the traditional diet of eskimos, despite the fact that they eat a lot of “healthy fats” from cold water fish, even seals.
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog.
You recipe looks very good and easy to follow. I added it in the post.
Hi Linda,
You really need to eat natural raw nuts.
Cocoa-roasted almonds sounds very tasty. They are probably a lot better than many other snacks but only as a treat for every now and then.
I wouldn’t worry about the fat in the nuts you eat. We need fat but unfortunately our diets are filled with the wrong types of fat. Saturated fats from meat, dairy products and palm oil.
Pistachios are great, just make sure they are not salted.
Almonds are probably the best nut for you , but limit yourself to small amounts, 1 ounce a day is plenty. I have found beans to be a nice alternative to nuts, try different kinds, I like to mix several and they tend to satisfy my craving, i mean a pinto bean tastes kind of like a soft peanut.
Another really great snack is sprouted beans and peas. Try for example sprouted chickpeas (garbanzo bean). Sooo, good and soo healthy!
Love the post…. Great information….. Love Avocados…… I’ll be picking some up today. Another great and healthy snack is to dip fresh fruit in melted Healthy Chocolate. Not all chocolate is alike. You can get more info on my website.
I have changed my butter with EEVO and a good brand and wow, what a difference I have seen in my life. Give it a try.
What’s the details for the Spanish research team? ie; do you have a link to the details of their research?
Jim…what’s EEVO? Or did you intend to say EVOO, for extra virgin olive oil? I did a quick websearch for EEVO in case I’m missing some nutritional source, but came up with nothing pertinent to the discussion at hand, so decided to just ask you.
the avocado sounds great.
Hi Matt,
Unfortunately I don’t have a link to the actual research. A well known Swedish health magazine called IForm covered it last month.

i love healthy foods.
Love the snacks. They taste great and give you that full feeling faster than chips or other junk. For some of us though it’s a little hard to stop at a few nuts or one smear of the Avocado.
Keeping the crunches in the routine will also help.
