Are you dying to go ‘fab’ from ‘flab’? Want to know the secret of achieving a super sexy body like Miranda Kerr, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie? Well, embrace coconut oil and you will be all set to say ‘good bye’ to your excess body fat. The healthy fat content of the oil can help you in a number of ways to shed off those extra pounds and get into the perfect shape. Here is all you need to know:
If you believe that olive oil is the healthiest choice to opt for losing weight, think again! It may be the favorite oil of doctors and nutritionists, but that does not ensure its effectiveness in eliminating excess body weight. Rather, a study conducted a few years ago revealed that the fatty acids (largely monosaturated fat) present in our body fat are much more similar to those found in olive oil. On the other hand, coconut oil does not contain such monosaturated fats, which make it a far better option for weight loss.
But how does coconut oil help in losing weight? Here are the ways it can give you a healthy body weight and a slim body:
1. Being a rich source of saturated fat (almost 90%), coconut oil can help overweight people immensely. A large portion (nearly 60%) of this fat content is made of a medium-chain saturated fatty acid (MCT) called ‘lauric acid’, which is around 3 times more effective than its longer-chain counterparts in fighting extra weight.
2. The MCTs present in coconut oil boost our metabolism instead of getting stored as fat. It produces lots of energy to burn off additional calories.
3. When you include coconut oil in your regular diet, your digestion becomes comparatively slower. It keeps you full even after hours of having your meal. So, no more binge eating!
4. As mentioned earlier, coconut oil decelerates the process of digestion, which slows down the production of glucose by making the breakdown of carbohydrates sluggish. It puts a stop to the fluctuation of sugar in our bloodstream and eventually aids in weight loss.
5. Most of the overweight people are known to suffer from a condition named ‘candida’ or ‘yeast , which is characterized by cravings for food, fatigue, sudden weight gain, etc. The medium-chain fatty acids present in coconut oil can eliminate candida completely, thereby causing the permanent weight loss.
6. Natural weight loss is promoted by detoxification of the body as well as restoration of overall health. Coconut oil is known to cleanse our internal system, provide nutrition to our cells and tissues while maintaining the health of our digestive tract, which ultimately accelerate weight loss.
Well, the dosage of coconut oil for weight loss totally depends upon the calorie requirements of a person. It is recommended to start with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil in your diet every day. Once your body gets adjusted to it, go up to 5 to 6 tablespoons a day. You should also keep the following points in mind while taking coconut oil as a weight loss aid:
