Coconut Oil for Weight Loss:
Eat Fat to Lose Fat?


Coconut oil for weight loss is nothing new at all. Coconut oil (CNO) has a profound impact on the many different processes your body undergoes in maintaining your ideal body weight.

CNO is a 92% saturated fat. But unlike beef, pork and other saturated fats, this equatorial oil is mainly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). In fact, almost all other dietary oils and fats, saturated or unsaturated, plant- or animal-based, are long-chain fatty acids (LCFA).

MCFAs have a very positive influence on metabolism. It has been shown that a single coconut oil meal can keep your metabolic rate elevated for up to 24 hours.

Your body, specifically the liver, uses MCFAs to fuel a normal metabolism. I'm pretty sure that nobody can deny that an orderly metabolism has a valuable and far-reaching involvement in keeping excess fat out of your body. MCFAs are easily transformed into energy.

In contrast, long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil and the like, are not immediately converted into energy. They are first broken down into individual fatty acids and repackaged into bundles of fat and protein called lipoproteins, which circulate your bloodstream.

Now here's the big fat truth! As long as you're eating to provide your body with enough energy to operate, fat in your food will end up as fat in your body. It's why exercise is so beneficial to losing unwanted pounds. Increased physical activity burns stored fat for fuel.

I know that, Eat Fat to Lose Fat, sounds like brouhaha... But it's true in the case of coconut oil. CNO's unique fat molecules have an extraordinary behavior of discouraging excess weight gain and at the same time, promoting weight loss.

MCFAs rarely contribute to unwanted weight gain. The Fat of the matter is - Your liver uses MCFA-rich, Pro-Energy coconut oil to power metabolic processes.

Eat Fat, Lose Fat? Absolutely, with coconut oil! ;-)
