Using Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Benefits Weight Loss

By Karina Frost


Many weight-reduction plans are unhealthy, as are many products sold to speed up the process. However, dieters can avoid overly-strict calorie restriction and expensive stimulants which purport to speed up metabolism and fat burning. Extra virgin coconut oil benefits weight loss and maintains health.

Those who believe that fat is something to avoid while reducing might be surprised to learn that healthy oils can accelerate the burning of stored fat in the body. Coconuts also contain many nutrients. For example, the liquid, or water, of a fresh, young nut has all electrolytes needed by humans, as well as many trace minerals that are lacking in the average American diet.

Coconuts naturally have all the electrolytes needed for health, as well as many trace minerals not found in other foods. In fact, people can live on coconuts for a long time with no ill effects. Young nuts have a jelly-like meat and a lot of rich, nutrient-filled liquid called water. As the nut matures, this jelly turns to the familiar dense white meat, while the liquid diminishes. The 'milk' is really derived from the meat, as is the oil, using either chemical solvents or mechanical pressing.

All the elements of the nut have antibacterial and antiviral properties and boost the immune system. People who include the oils in their diet may find that chronic skin problems vanish, hair looks fuller and shinier, and even oral health is improved. In addition, they may feel more energetic, as the medium-chain triglycerides in the oils are burned for quick energy rather than being stored for later metabolic processing.

Medium-chain triglycerides are burned by the body for energy without having to be broken down by metabolic processes and stored. This means that coconuts can make dieters feel more energetic, keeping them from the low-blood sugar crash that increases the desire to eat. It's also easier to keep up with an exercise program that tones muscles, increases circulation, and promotes deep breathing - all things that speed up metabolism.

Cutting out refined foods, which often have altered and therefore unhealthy vegetable fats, and high-carbohydrate sweets and baked goods is key to dieting success. Adding the good fat content of coconuts helps curb appetite, enhance thermogenesis (fat-burning), and cut the misery of not eating your favorite foods while reducing calorie intake.

It's important to get a good form of this beneficial food. Extra-virgin oils are minimally processed and undamaged by heat. The original color, flavor, and aroma of the nut should be retained, a sign that the nutritive values are unharmed. In clinical trials, dieters who included this oil experienced better digestion, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and healthier thyroid function.

A good product comes from a reputable company, is naturally white, and smells life real coconuts. It tastes great, too, melting in your mouth so it's pleasant to take by the spoonful. It's also great for cooking and baking.
