10 foods for flatter tummies

Now that my belly is flat -- I never thought I'd say that -- I want to keep it that way. I know basically how to maintain my new flatland -- a clean and healthy diet and lots of good exercise -- but this AOL America Takes It Off slide show definitely helps.

I need monounsaturated fatty acid -- that's MUFA for short -- according to the AOL experts. A recent study published in the journal Diabetes Care found that eating a diet high in MUFAs can help reduce the accumulation of abdominal body fat. No other nutrient can do this. So here are the MUFA foods I ought to be eating so I can hang on to my trim tummy.

  • Olive oil
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Almonds
  • Avocado
  • Dark or semi-sweet chocolate
  • Flaxseed oil
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Natural peanut butter
  • Pistachios
  • Walnuts

For the run-down on exactly why these foods have such magical powers, take a peek right here.
