The monounsaturated fat ((MUFAs)) of avocado contains a compound called oleic acid, which helps you to keep your hunger pangs in control. It also helps to melt the belly fat. Also, as avocado is a rich source of fibre and protein, it helps to lose weight.

Apart from that its consumption also controls the insulin level and blood sugar level, two most important things that help to lose weight.
