Coconut oil contains a special kind of fat molecules called medium chain triglycerides (MCT). Virtually all other fats and oils out there are mostly, if not entirely, long chain triglycerides (LCT). Unlike LCTs, MCTs digest very easily that by the time they leave the stomach, they are already completely broken down into individual fatty acids called medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). MCFA-rich coconut oil is quickly absorbed into the portal vein and sent straight to your liver, where it is used as a source of fuel to generate energy. Coconut oil stimulates metabolism and gives you an energy boost, not body fat. The oil of the humble coconut is Pro-Energy, NOT Pro-Fat! But will it make skinny people skinnier, you might ask. The answer is no. Research have shown that the less body fat you have, the less effect coconut oil has on stimulating metabolism and burning up calories. Since it can supply an instant source of nutrition without burdening the enzyme systems of your body, coconut oil has been prescribed in the treatment of malnutrition. Bottom line? If you are overweight, coconut oil helps you lose excess fat, but helps you gain some if underweight. Interested in Buying Coconut Oil?
