How do you eat so much guacamole and still lose weight?

Guacamole, like olive oil, is a “good fat.” (Scientific term: monounsaturated fat.) Monounsaturated fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts) and polyunsaturated fats (found in fish and grains) lower the bad cholesterol and increase the good cholesterol. They also give your body the nutrients necessary to metabolize food properly and make hormones.

That, and guacamole is satisfying, so it fills you up quickly.
