Almonds

If they're not already your go-to snack, they will be now. In a study in the Journal of the American Heart Association on 48 people who had high cholesterol, eating 1.5 ounces of almonds per day helped participants drop belly fat (and the fat hugging their legs) compared to a control group that ate an equal amount of calories in high-carb muffin form. Even better news if you're a calorie counter: research also shows that almonds actually contain about 20 percent fewer calories than the nutrient label advertises (turns out, we can't fully digest the entire nut).
