Coconut Oil Burns Fat

Do you know the best way to burn fat?  Would you believe eating fats will burn the fat?   It’s true but not just any fat.  Fat is fattening, fat is full of calories so many people decide to cut the fat when trying to lose weight and burn fat.  When fats are gone from our diet we also lose essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins.

So, when trying to lose weight there is a fat with fewer calories and doesn’t add to weight gain anymore than eating proteins or carbs.  Sound interesting?  Does it sound like a sales pitch for a new product?  It’s oil with historical backgrounds and no I’m not marketing it.  It’s Coconut Oil!

You can lose fat by eating more saturated fat, found in coconut oil, and less polyunsaturated fat, vegetable oils like canola and corn oils. It improves the body’s use of blood glucose and improves insulin secretion and absorption. 

Substituting coconut oil for other vegetable oils in your diet will help promote weight loss. The use of refined vegetable oil actually promotes weight gain, not just from its calorie content, but because of its harmful effects on the thyroid – the gland that controls metabolism. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils depress thyroid activity, thus lowering metabolic rate – just the opposite of coconut oil.

Coconut oil is often preferred by athletes and body builders and by those who are dieting. Using coconut oil increases your metabolism. This is the low fat food that helps you lose weight. The fats in coconut oil, unlike all other fats, do not circulate through the blood looking for places to be stored. They go directly to the liver and are turned into instant energy.  One food that can rev up your metabolism even more than protein is coconut oil.

Dr. Julian Whitaker, a well-known authority on nutrition and health, makes this analogy between the long-chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT): “LCTs are like heavy wet logs that you put on a small campfire. Keep adding the logs, and soon you have more logs than fire. MCTs are like rolled up newspaper soaked in gasoline. They not only burn brightly, but will burn up the wet logs as well.”

Here’s a good example of the public’s views on coconut oil.  Farmers are looking for ways to fatten their livestock because bigger animals bring bigger profits. Fats and oils are used in animal feed to quickly pack the weight on so they can go to market faster. Saturated fat seemed like a good choice to fatten up livestock so pig farmers fed coconut products to their pigs to pack the pounds on, but when it was added to the animal feed, the pigs lost weight!

If you want to burn fat, the best thing you can do is to avoid those oils that make you fat and start using coconut oil – the world’s only natural low-fat fat.
