What to eat after the party to stay slim!

You just chowed down on stuffing and turkey, and now you feel like, well, a stuffed turkey. That's okay, because by making smart meal choices between festivities, you can still emerge in January slim and regret free. These meals all contain MUFAs, (pronounced moo-fahs), healthy fats found in plant oils that research proves can help reduce belly fat, which is the cornerstone of the Flat Belly Diet. Each is also calorie controlled (typically less than 400 a meal) with an eye toward taste and satisfaction, so you can resist the platter of leftover cookies your coworker brought in from her tree-trimming brunch (they're not that great anyway). I've included a product suggestion for each but go ahead and sub based on what you love or have on hand (calorie counts will vary).
