20 Fat-Burning Secrets of The Grill

#18: Bring in the avocado

A stout dose of monounsaturated fats make avocados one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Monounsaturated fats can lower LDL cholesterol and help prevent heart disease, and a 2008 study inThe New England Journal of Medicine found that people who followed a diet high in these healthy fats lost more weight than those who ate a low-fat diet. To grill them, place halved avocados directly on the grate of a hot grill for about 5 minutes. From here you can slice it to use on burgers, mash it into smoky guacamole, or fill each half with tuna or chicken salad for a small meal that will fill your belly like a feast.
