Overcome 10 surprising diet obstacles to lose belly fat for good. By RealAge

9. Fearing Fat

Fat does have 9 calories per gram, compared to 4 calories per gram of protein or carbohydrates. But all fat isn't created equal. Saturated fat -- the kind in whole milk, butter, full-fat cheese, and fatty cuts of red meat -- makes your body produce less leptin, a hormone that quells appetite. But unsaturated fat, like that in olive oil and avocados, helps regulate your appetite. For instance, avocados encourage your body to produce more appetite-suppressing leptin. Fight back: Swap saturated fat from animal products, such as butter, for heart-healthy plant-based fats, such as olive oil.

Use this guide to the best and worst fats for weight loss.
