COCONUT OIL & WEIGHT LOSS

Coconut oil is the world's most weight loss friendly fat. It contains a combination of fatty acids that has a powerful effect on metabolism. Several studies have shown that by adding coconut oil to your diet you can lose fat, especially fat in the abdominal cavity.

Coconut Oil is High in Medium Chain Triglycerides, Fatty Acids that Boost Metabolism!

Most foods contain predominantly Long-chain Fatty Acids whereas coconut oil consists of almost entirely Medium-chain Fatty Acids. These Medium-chain Fatty Acids are metabolised differently as they are sent straight to the liver from the digestive tract, where they are either used for energy right away or turned into ketone bodies which are used as energy in the heart, brain and muscles.

How Coconut Oil Can Boost Metabolism, making you BURN MORE CALORIES at Rest

Different foods and micronutrients go through different metabolic pathways so the different types of foods we eat can have a huge impact on our hormones and metabolic health. Some metabolic pathways are more efficient than others and some foods require more energy to digest and metabolise.

One important property of coconut oil is that it is 'thermogenic' - eating tends to increase energy expenditure (fat burning) compared to the same amount of calories from other fats. In one study, 15-30 grams (1 to 2 tablespoons) of medium-chain fatty acids per day increased expenditure by 5%, totaling about 120 calories per day. Several other studies confirm these findings. when humans replace the fats they are eating with medium-chain fatty acids, they burn more calories.

Therefore, ingesting calories from coconut oil is NOT the same as ingesting calories from olive oil or butter.
