You want to know why coconut oil works so well?

 

Coconut Oil Is Rich In Medium Chain Fatty Acids That Help You Lose Weight

Coconut oil is part of the group of good fats which are composed of medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fatty acid that increases the activity of the metabolism 1.

When metabolic activities intensify, the body burns more calories, which favor the loss of fat and consequently also the loss of body weight.

In a study conducted by Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva it was highlighted that the hiring of 15-30 g of medium-chain fatty acids per day, increases the average energy expenditure by 5%.

In other words, if you add 2 spoons of coconut oil to your diet, you can burn about 100 extra kilo-calories without any effort on your part.

It's not much, but considering the ease of this new habit it is worth starting to use it right away.

You can simply replace the olive oil and butter (popular long-chain fatty acids) with coconut oil when cooking.

This is a very easy way to integrate it into your current cooking habits.

People who want to lose fat (especially abdominal) they can benefit by focusing on the natural caloric capacity of coconut oil.

This brings us to the next point.

 

Coconut Oil Helps You Feel Fuller, Longer

There are many studies regarding the effect of medium-chain fatty acids that have an effect on appetite. If you want to learn more, find the studies who e who.

The truth is if you want to lose weight, you have to decrease your daily calorie intake.

Controlling appetite is the basis of a successful diet, but many obsess over calorie counting, unknowingly creating a breeding ground for failure.

And it's not their fault.

While doctors and nutritionists recommend counting calories as the best way to lose weight, they forget to identify the underlying causes of the problem.

When I replaced my diet rich in processed foods with a diet rich in vegetables and fruit, I started to lose excess kilos without any need to count the daily calories.

The reason is that processed foods are designed to entice us to eat more.

Therefore, reducing and controlling our appetite automatically leads us to consume fewer calories.

Coconut oil has the same caloric value as olive oil, but it is much more filling 2.

This means it makes you eat less throughout the day, and thus helps you to reduce the total amount of heat thus helping you to lose weight.

Coconut oil must be considered a fat, and as such it should be used very little if you want to lose weight.

When I was in desperate need to lose weight, I took a spoonful 20 minutes before breakfast to reduce my appetite.

Coconut oil definitely helped me lose 8 chili in 8 months, but this is only a small component of a healthy and balanced diet if you want to lose weight and stay fit.

When I am back in a healthy weight, I kept coconut oil in my diet but not to lose further weight, but to get instant quality energy.

Coconut oil produces more prolonged energy as well as being highly digestible. This makes it an excellent food to add to a pre-workout energy drink.

I add it to chia seeds, miele, milk and cocoa that I drink 30 minutes before training.

As you see, coconut oil can be used in many ways and not just for weight loss.

 

To lose weight, the diet must be balanced

There is a lot of talk about counting calories to lose weight and very little about how to balance meals.

The two things go hand in hand if you want to lose weight.

A practical example:

A can of coke has 139 kilo-calorie. It contains no useful nutrients for the body but only harmful substances such as refined sugar, caffeine and additives. Nothing new.

450 grams of broccoli have 139 kilo-calorie. Unlike coca-cola, broccoli contains an infinite number of nutrients necessary to make our body function properly, such as vitamin E, football, iron and many others.

Apart from the obvious benefits of consuming 450 gr. of broccoli instead of a can of coke for your body, which one do you think you are most satisfied?

If you eat almost half a pound of broccoli, you probably won't have an appetite for the next ones 3 ore. If you drink a can of coke instead, most likely you will want another one later 15 minutes.

What you eat doesn't just affect your overall health, but it affects your appetite and thus the amount of total daily calories you need.

When you manage to decrease the total amount of daily calories, without any other kind of effort you will start losing weight.
