Coconut Oil Diet: The Healing Diet

Treasure-trove of health benefits

Not All Saturated Fats are The Same

Many people, including doctors, don't know that there is more than one type of saturated fat.

Much of the health benefits of coconut oil are powered by a virtually rare type of saturated fat molecules called, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) or Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA).

Beef fat, lard and coconut oil contain large amounts of saturated fatty acids.

But animal fats are made entirely of Long Chain Triglycerides (LCT) or Long Chain Fatty Acids (LCFA), just like soybean and olive oils. They are all devoid of MCFAs abundantly present in coconut oil.

More than two-thirds of coconut oil or coconut butter is composed of MCFAs, "a different kind of saturated fat." MCFAs don't circulate your body to the extent LCFAs do. MCFA-loaded coconut oil goes directly to your liver to produce energy, not body fat.

Quick Nourishment

MCFAs are a quick source of nutrition for each and every cell in your body. They are so efficient, MCFAs don't even require insulin.

Unlike glucose and other fatty acids, MCFAs are able to nourish and keep your cells alive, with or without insulin. So even if you're diabetic, eating coconut oil will give your cells an energy boost, accelerating healing from all disease and illness.

Because of its ability to sustain cells easily, a coconut oil diet helps relieve the stress on your organs caused by excessive free-radical formation and microbial attack.

Stellar Antimicrobial

Thanks to MCFAs, coconut oil is able to kill a multitude of bacteria, yeasts, viruses, parasites, fungi, etc.

When you consume coconut oil, it's like taking an antibiotic, minus the nasty side effects.

A pro-energy, weight loss-friendly, zero-backlash antibiotic. I like the sound of that... No wonder a coconut oil diet energizes the immune system superlatively!

Heart-Friendly

Don't believe anyone who says a typical coconut diet, especially the oil, promotes heart disease. No matter how loud they ignorantly say it or what influence they peddle, NO research proves that natural coconut oil causes heart disease. I guarantee you that!

Several studies have already shown that, at worse, it is neutral in the development of heart disease. In reality, coconut oil even prevents it!

Stop Overeating

Coconut oil gives a feeling of satiety quicker so you won't overeat. Polyunsaturated fats such as corn and sunflower oils don't, so you tend to eat more than you should. As a result, more excess fat is needlessly stored away somewhere in your body.

MCFA-packed coconut oil not only makes you feel full quickly. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity has proven that coconut oil can satisfy hunger "faster and longer" than any other dietary fat.

Some take coconut oil in capsule form as their version of a coconut oil diet. Please visit coconut oil capsules for the pros and cons you need to know.

Weight-Slashing Oil-Change

Researchers at McGill University, Canada had an interesting discovery. By simply replacing all the oils in your diet made of LCTs such as soybean oil with coconut oil, you can lose up to almost 40 pounds of unwanted fat a year. No change in your diet required. Not even reducing the calories.

Cooking and preparing foods with coconut oil is a super easy way to ensure that your body is getting the right kind of fat. Which reminds me...

Time to watch some DVD. Coconut oil popcorn anyone? Who would have thought that eating popcorn can be a healthy thing? With coconut oil, it's possible!
