Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Benefits Weight Loss

By Karina Frost


Many weight-reduction plans are unhealthy, as are many products sold to speed up the process. However, dieters can avoid overly-strict calorie restriction and expensive stimulants which purport to speed up metabolism and fat burning. Extra virgin coconut oil benefits weight loss and maintains health.

Although conventional diets have for decades advocated limiting or even eliminating fats, research and clinical trials have found that good fats actually can accelerate weight-loss and reduction of body fat. Ingesting unaltered fats, like extra-virgin olive oil or nut oils, can cause the body to burn fat that may have been stored for years. Coconuts are nutritionally superior. The 'water', or liquid found in a young nut, contains all the electrolytes and trace minerals needed for health.

Coconuts naturally have all the electrolytes needed for health, as well as many trace minerals not found in other foods. In fact, people can live on coconuts for a long time with no ill effects. Young nuts have a jelly-like meat and a lot of rich, nutrient-filled liquid called water. As the nut matures, this jelly turns to the familiar dense white meat, while the liquid diminishes. The 'milk' is really derived from the meat, as is the oil, using either chemical solvents or mechanical pressing.

Coconuts have additional food value. They have lots of fiber - always a plus when dieting - and significant amounts of protein. The oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides, which are hard to find in the food supply. They also have antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-system boosting properties.

Medium-chain triglycerides are burned by the body for energy without having to be broken down by metabolic processes and stored. This means that coconuts can make dieters feel more energetic, keeping them from the low-blood sugar crash that increases the desire to eat. It's also easier to keep up with an exercise program that tones muscles, increases circulation, and promotes deep breathing - all things that speed up metabolism.

Cutting out refined foods, which often have altered and therefore unhealthy vegetable fats, and high-carbohydrate sweets and baked goods is key to dieting success. Adding the good fat content of coconuts helps curb appetite, enhance thermogenesis (fat-burning), and cut the misery of not eating your favorite foods while reducing calorie intake.

Consuming a good fat, one that is not harmed by processing, heat, bleaching, deodorizing, or preservatives, can actually help you lose pounds and inches. When calories are kept to a level that is adequate but not excessive, eating good fats causes your body to burn stored fat. When you use coconut oil, your digestion will be enhanced, your total cholesterol lowered, and your thyroid function enhanced. All of these results have been confirmed by clinical studies and research.

Choose your oils wisely and see how much better reducing can be when this beneficial food is part of your daily diet. This healthy food is great for maintaining your new shape, too, long after the actual reducing program is over.
