Macadamias turn

on energy engines

Great news from British scientists:

You’ l l shed a n additiona l 17 pounds—

and trim an extra 3" off your waist—

by adding two eggs to your daily diet.

This breakfast fave is packed with

vitamin B-12 and choline, two essen-

tial nutrients that shut down stomach

production of a hunger-promoting

hormone (ghrelin).

Avocados flush out

abdominal bloat

You can triple your weight

loss t his mont h by eating

4 oz. of red meat four

times weekly, Australian

scientists say. The protein’s

amino acids activate genes

that promote fat metabo-

lism inside abdominal

cells, helping them burn an

extra 100 calories of stored

fat daily. Good news: Beef,

pork and lamb all contain

this amino acid mix!

Onions melt fat hormones

Red meat speeds

metabolism

Enjoying one medium avocado daily could

trim 2" off your waistline in 10 days, plus help

you shed 1 pound weekly without dieting, say

researchers at the University of California at

Riverside. Thanks goes to the fruit’s rich stores

of carotenoids, nutrients that encourage kidney

cells to flush out trapped fluids plus block lipo-

genesis (fat formation) inside abdominal tissues.

Snacking on^1 ⁄ 2 cup of macadamia

nuts daily can put slimming on auto-

pilot, speeding your breakdown of

belly fat by 25% and tripling your

ability to keep the weight off per-

manently. That’s the word from

University of Hawaii researchers,

who say these gems brim with

nutrients (magnesium and palmi-

toleic acid) that energize cellular

mitochondria, encouraging them

to burn fatty acids for energy.

Eggs switch off

hunger signals

nutrition

The unique sulfur compounds in this flavorful

vegetable switch on liver enzymes that speed the

breakdown of fat-trapping hormones, pesticides and

other toxins within the body. It’s no wonder Dutch

researchers say that incorporating^1 ⁄ 2 cup of onions

(raw or cooked) into your daily diet can help you melt

away 2 pounds of belly fat and pesky abdominal

bloat in as little as 10 days!
