'Smoothie off' 3 sizes

We can all appreciate a quick and tasty breakfast-and even more so if it kills hunger and whittles our waists. The easy key? Smoothies made with healthy fats like avocado, flaxseeds and coconut oil. \"The fats add a critical nutritional piece,\" says Harvard-trained wellness expert Eric J.

More proof it works: Texas empty-nester Mollie Sparks, 60, says fat-rich smoothies were her go-to as she reversed constant fatigue and dropped 42 pounds.

Goodbye, back pain!
