Coconut oil for weight loss.

1. Burns calories.

Any one food has its own metabolic properties. Various macro and trace elements in food affect hormone levels and metabolism. Some foods are digested more efficiently, while others take more time and require more energy.

Coconut oil is a thermogenic substance. Its constituents, unlike fats of other origin, require more energy to be broken down and digested.

One study found that 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil (15-30g) requires 5% more energy. It burns about 120 kcal per day during digestion.

Other experiments have confirmed these findings. When replacing regular fats with medium-length chain fats, the body uses more calories to break them down and absorb them.

When it comes to the calories of butter or vegetable oil, it should be noted that their benefits are unquestionable, but require less energy expenditure.

Coconut oil fats enhance metabolic mechanisms and increase energy expenditure by 120 kcal per day.

2. fights visceral fat.

The ability of coconut oil to speed up metabolic processes and reduce appetite can get rid of fat deposits fairly quickly. The effect will last for a long period of time. The positive results are proven by more than one study.

One of the experiments involved two groups of women. For 28 days, they each received 30 grams (2 tablespoons) of coconut oil or soybean oil.

All participants were instructed to eat fewer calories and walk more (do aerobic activity). The results were striking:

Participants in both groups lost an average of 2 kg in weight.

The women who took coconut oil reduced their waist size by burning fat on their stomachs. The participants who took soybean oil showed a slight increase in abdominal fat.

In the first group, there was a decrease in good cholesterol (HDL). In the second group, soybean oil led to a decrease in HDL cholesterol and an increase in LDL.

Coconut oil did not result in significant total weight loss compared to soybean oil, but it did reduce the abdomen.

Other observations were made in men diagnosed with obesity. They received 30 g of coconut oil daily for 4 weeks. After a period of time, a decrease of 2, 86 cm in waist circumference was noted.

Many studies by nutritionists have confirmed that medium chain triglycerides can reduce weight, reduce waist circumference and improve metabolic rates.

Coconut oil is quite effective in reducing visceral (harmful) fat. Fat deposits in the abdomen can form around internal organs, further provoking the development of inflammatory diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular pathologies.

Reducing abdominal fat always has a beneficial effect on metabolism, prevents the development of chronic processes, helps to maintain health for a long time.

The use of coconut oil, combined with a reduction in carbohydrates and an increase in protein products, can achieve high results in weight loss and reduction of deposited fat.

Coconut oil alone will not give a miraculous effect, but in combination with other methods will help to maintain the achieved results for a long time.
