Coconut Oil is a healthy way to lose weight and increase energy
Why coconut oil?
Because it speeds up metabolism, so the body burns more calories, and enables you to lose weight more easily. You'll also have a lot more energy.
Research has shown that this saturated fat, due to its medium chain fatty acids, speeds up metabolism (which is the opposite of unsaturated fats which cause hypothyroidism and slow metabolism). The MCFA's in coconut oil are not stored in the body's cells but rather processed directly in the liver where they are converted immediately into energy and not stored as body fat. It therefore puts less strain on other organs of the body (liver, pancreas and digestive system), allowing them to function more effecively.
Virgin coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, an antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoal agent, which can aid in the elimination of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, which strengthens the body's immune system.
Bruce Fife, N.D explains in his book, "The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil", why virgin coconut oil is a low calorie fat .... not all fats are alike .... and, what if…there was a fat that had fewer calories than other fats and contributed no more to weight gain than protein or carbohydrate, and actually promoted better health, would you be interested?
