Virgin
coconut oil
Virgin
coconut oil is gaining popularity as a healthy way to lose weight.
Regular coconut oil is highly refined and loaded with cholesterol.
Virgin
coconut oil is a completely different form of coconut oil by the
way it's processed. It's one of the healthiest dietary oils on the
planet.
Polynesian societies have been using virgin coconut oil for centuries.
They've enjoyed excellent cardiovascular health and vitality by
consuming coconut oil and coconut food products.
Here's why virgin coconut oil is so good for you:
1. Virgin coconut oil is not bleached, refined or deodorized
2. Virgin coconut oil is a stable, healthy saturated fat - completely
free of dangerous trans-
fatty acids.
3. Virgin coconut oil contains no cholesterol or hydrogenated fats
4. Virgin coconut oil is made up fats that are digested more efficiently
than regular saturated fats
Virgin coconut oil is different than other fats. Traditional fats
from butter, meats and whole milk are stored in your body cells;
waiting to be burned for energy at a later time. This can lead to
increased fat stores, increased body weight, and higher cholesterol
levels.
Virgin coconut oil is made up of special fats called medium chain
fatty acids (MCFAs). When you eat MCFAs, they're immediately sent
to your liver and converted into a rapid source of energy. This
means more energy levels for you. Increased energy levels means
you'll burn even more calories - leading to faster weight loss.
Another good thing about virgin coconut oil is that it reduces your
food cravings.
One
problem with low-fat diets is they don't supply you with enough
dietary fat for normal metabolic functions and growth. This makes
your body crave fat. Did you ever notice how a low-fat diet always
seems to leave you feeling hungry and unsatisfied?
This
is your body's way of telling you that it's missing something from
your diet. These food cravings may cause you to snack throughout
the day, leading to more weight gain and frustration. Adding virgin
coconut oil to your diet may help reduce food cravings you might
get with a low-fat diet.
Eliminating
food cravings means you won't be snacking as much during the day.
This lowers your total calories which can lead to faster weight
loss for you.
How much virgin coconut oil should you take to lose weight? Most
literature suggests you start with 1 tablespoon per day and work
your way up to 2 - 3 tablespoons per day. Since you're getting a
healthy source of dietary fat in your diet, you need to cut back
on all other saturated fats in your diet.
Most
of your healthy fat calories will be from the virgin coconut oil,
which are digested and metabolized faster than traditional fats.
A great way to take virgin coconut oil is by mixing it into fruit
smoothies or protein shakes.
Virgin coconut oil is also one of the healthiest oils to use for
frying foods in. Most vegetable oils can suffer heat damage when
used during high heat frying.
Oils
such as olive oil make great salad dressings, but may suffer oxidative
damage from high heat frying. Virgin coconut oil is not affected
by high heat or experiences chemical changes during frying.
How much weight can you lose with virgin coconut oil? This is a
good question and a hard one to answer. It will depend on your general
level of health and your overall metabolism. Every body is a unique
individual and will respond differently when they try to lose weight.
I believe the key to successful weight loss is by eating a healthy
diet, along with consistent moderate exercise.
In conclusion, virgin coconut oil is a healthy alternative to traditional
vegetable oils that can help you lose weight.
Your
body gets a great source of dietary fat for optimum health. This
leaves you feeling full and satisfied after each meal, reducing
food cravings. The medium chain fatty acids in virgin coconut oil
are rapidly converted to energy. This speeds up your metabolism
and you burn more calories.
Don't forget that virgin coconut oil isn't refined, bleached or
deodorized. It's a healthy oil with no cholesterol or hydrogenated
fats. What more could your body ask for?
