With around 234 calories and 20 grams of fat per fruit, avocados would not be a natural ‘go-to’ when trying to burn fat and lose weight. However, research says otherwise.

One 2019 study found that eating an avocado daily, as part of a calorie-controlled diet, aided weight loss in participants. Those who ate this fat burning food for breakfast or lunch were less likely to overeat during the rest of the day.

Avocados help stimulate leptin, our appetite suppressing hormone, which helps us feel fuller and satisfied.

If you’re including avocados frequently in your diet (and they are nutritional powerhouses), but you eat too much additional fat or calories from other foods, then your fat may be stubborn to shift.
