Coconut Oil Increases Metabolism

Coconut oil goes against the typical conventions of weight loss. Many people wonder how a fat, and a saturated one at that, can be helpful in losing weight and keeping it off.

Interestingly enough, coconut oil really works to help you shed the pounds and get slim.

The first way that coconut oil helps you lose weight is that it contains special triglycerides, called medium chain fatty acids, that works to get a sluggish metabolism up to speed again. Many serial dieters have actually hurt their metabolism over the years and tricked the body into thinking it should go into starvation mode. Just 1 tablespoon of coconut oil a day can train the body to bounce back to it's original natural metabolic speed, which is often up to 50% faster than a typical dieter's metabolism.

The second way that coconut oil helps you to lose weight is that it actually balances your blood sugar throughout the day. In my last post I talked about how blood sugar levels play a very important role in how hungry you feel throughout the day. Coconut oil is similar to blood glucose in that your body will use the coconut oil for energy and it will minimally impact your glucose levels. Coconut oil is a low glycemic food, meaning that it will not cause spikes or dips in your body's blood sugar levels.

Lastly, coconut oil also contains lauric acid and caprylic acid. These two acids combat yeast and candida. Yeast and candida are two nasty things that can cause weight loss and poor metabolism. When present in high levels in the body they also cause cravings for sugars and high carbohydrate foods. Coconut oil will keep both of these substances at natural to low levels and stop them from wreaking havoc on your system.

So just by adding about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to your diet everyday you can see a variety of positive effects in helping you lose weight, and feel healthier. Coconut oil is an important supplement for your weight loss protocols.
