Oh oh!! jus came across this..

Weight control

Contrary to popular assumptions, the avocado can be a helpful part of a successful weight-management program. It brings several advantages.

Its monounsaturated fat speeds up the basal metabolic rate, as compared with saturated fat.

Its high fat content gives a quicker feeling of satiation ("fullness"), thus helping to reduce overeating.

Its high fat content makes an overall sound diet more palatable, reducing the temptation to binge on foods high in sugars or saturated fats.

Its rich supply of vitamins and minerals also makes the diet more wholesome and satisfying and thus more conducive to overall health and to moderation in consumption.

Anecdotes lack scientific weight, yet sometimes capture reality more effectively than long scientific discourse. In the Los Angeles HeraldExaminer for November 9, 1969, writer Emily Wilkens had a 4-column article, "How One Woman Keeps a Youthful Look." It tells the story of her friend Lisa, who was "a super traveling saleswoman in the cosmetics field and could buy every known external beauty aid at a fraction of its cost. [Yet] day by day she looked worse even with the most careful skin care and makeup. At the same time, her energy for "just living" was flagging, and she was having a weight problem She consulted eminent diet specialists, ...all to no avail. One day while out west, she invited a very famous movie star to have dinner with her to discuss a special promotion for her company. Lisa watched with wonder as the actress reached into her handbag and produced a luscious avocado. On the way home the actress...revealed her [secret] of beauty through healthful eating [emphasizing] fresh fruits and vegetables. The very next day, Lisa embarked on the diet suggested by the actress...Lisa has lost weight and inches. Her eyes sparkle and her skin glows, and she grows...lovelier and more vibrant each year.

Hmm! duno about the credibility of the article but i shall jus be an auntie and totally buy into it! Plus if u take the milkshake form, u get the calcium and its added fat burning bonus. Lemme then pray they use the low fat version...drinking avocado sure beats that extremely painfully long cleansing/toning regime!!!

*pray hard hard*

anyway

HAPPIE BDAE MUN MUN !!!
