It is that time of the year where everyone is trying to fight the 'winter' bulge!

The article mentions a weight loss diet plan and also includes a healthy recipe using fish and avocados.

Hope you enjoy reading and don't forget to have a look at our 'Talk to An Expert' section - a space for you to get into direct contact with avocado, nutrition and other experts across different lifestyle areas. At the moment you can share tips and swap avocado growing stories with Australian Avocados CEO Antony Allen and other website members.
