Replacing carbohydrates in your diet with monounsaturated fats will help you slim down by shuttling fat away from your midsection (
See my Ask the Diet Doctor column on this topic on this topic for a more in-depth explanation).
Where to get it: Avocados, Macadamia nuts, and olive oil are great sources of monounsaturated fats. They also come packaged with great nutrients such as antioxidants (in olive oil), fiber (in avocado), and B-vitamins (in macadamia nuts).
