Do Coconut Oil Diets
Work for Weight Loss?


Coconut oil diets are excellent if you want to achieve and more importantly, keep your model body weight. Unlike most other oils, coconut oil (CNO) does not contribute to the development of excess fat.

Almost all other dietary oils such as soybean and corn oils are mainly composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). These fat molecules circulate in your bloodstream and as such, have a good chance of ending up as fatty deposits like the dreaded love handles at the sides of the waist for one.

On the other hand, CNO is primarily medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). These smaller molecules don't even make it into your circulatory system initially. From the intestines, they pass through the portal vein straight to your liver.

The liver then converts them into energy to fuel your metabolism, much like a carbohydrate. Not only do MCFAs have nothing to do with making you fat, they also help power the different metabolic processes that assist you in losing weight. Hence the phrase, Eat Fat To Lose Fat was aptly coined for MCFA-rich coconut oil, The World's Healthiest Oil.

But believe me when I say that weight management is just one of the countless coconut oil health benefits you really should know.
