Extra virgin olive oil contains monounsaturated fats that studies have shown help to burn body fat. In a Curtin University of Technology study in Australia, a group of post-menopausal women were given either olive oil or cream as a source of fat. Those who consumed the olive oil experienced a higher level of fat oxidation. A diet rich in monounsaturated fats can also prevent central body fat distribution, according to an article in the "Journal for Diabetes Care."
