Hit up happy hour (in moderation). While tossing back booze like it’s water will result in a beer belly (among other things), enjoying a glass with your meal might do the opposite.

Drizzle olive oil. Olive oil, nuts, avocados, and even dark chocolate are loaded with MUFAs—good-for-you fats that have been shown to blast belly fat. Researchers at the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center found that women who followed the Flat Belly Diet—a MUFA-rich meal plan—lost an average of 2 inches from their waists in less than a month. They also lost up to 33% of the dangerous visceral fat stored in their bellies. (Find out more great ways to incorporate MUFAs into your diet with the Flat Belly Diet!)
