What if I were to tell you that of all the healthy oils on the market today, one can make you burn more calories ... would you add it to your daily diet? Heck, when I read about this study in Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental -- where guys were given bagels slathered with a healthy oil each morning -- I was intrigued. Researchers measured how much energy was being generated (or calories burned) six hours after participants ate their oily breakfast bagel. The various oils studied were: Flaxseed oil, sunflower oil and olive oil. The end result? Olive oil is the grand prize winner! It turns out oleic acid, from olive oil, is especially effective when it comes to ramping up burning calories (especially from your OWN fat stores!) as compared to flaxseed and sunflower varieties.

Speaking of olives and olive oil I have to say, one of my most favorite moments in my life was when I went biking on the island of Sardinia, off the coast of Italy. After touring the beautiful countryside, we were served a huge picnic lunch that included homemade breads, local cheeses, olive oils, tapenades, wines and more. Imagine, outside, under beautiful trees, the ocean nearby, up on a small mountain chowing down on fantastically fresh local foods. Being an olive fan, I was in heaven! Who would have thought that such a delicious meal would help me burn even more calories than if I had feasted upon flax and sunflower seeds!
