When it comes to targeting stubborn belly fat, there's nothing quite like avocado. The nutrient-dense fruit is very beneficial for weight loss and works like magic to reduce belly fat. Avocados support your weight loss efforts with their high fibre and healthy fat content. Rich in Vitamins C, E, K, and B6, folate, magnesium, and potassium, the fruit also fulfills your daily macronutrient requirement.

Avocados have an adequate amount of healthy and beneficial fats, which can help a person feel fuller for longer periods. Apart from that, avocados also support fetal health, aid digestion, are healthy for the heart, great for vision, and contain components that may prevent cancer. Studies have shown that women who regularly consume avocados typically have reduced abdominal fat. According to a recent study conducted by the University of Illinois, women who eat avocados daily lose abdominal fat.
