Eating avocados can reduce food cravings and diabetes risk

[Northerner]

Washington: A new research has suggested that addition of fresh Hass Avocado to a meal may help to reduce hunger and the desire to eat in overweight adults.

The study also showed that including avocado to a meal resulted in smaller post-meal rises in insulin compared to eating a meal without avocado.

So do I, but don't often eat them due to the calorie count.

I think I've probably said this before, but they are horrid - pretending to be pears when they are nothing like! Just like olives (ewww!) pretend to be grapes! 😱

I used to agree with you both. It took me years to acquire a taste for both avocados and olives... and now that I love them, I have to restrict them to occasional treats.

Three-year-old Eleanor likes olives. 🙂 We haven't tried her with avocado yet, it's not something Mummy buys because she can't stand it herself.

Avocado is not a pear, it's a stone fruit. It just happens to be pear-shaped. The flesh is deliciously creamy in texture, because it's high in fat (the 'good' kind, but still calorific). Mmm - dreams of crispy bacon and avocado in a crusty white baguette.
