Do you lose weight?
In 2004 an American magazine noted for its sensationalist articles published an article in which he asserted that Cristina Saralegui recommended by her friend Gloria Estefan was thin aided by coconut oil. This aroused much interest in the coconut oil to lose weight. There is even a book called “The Coconut Diet.”
There is no hard evidence at present that the coconut make us lose weight or speed up metabolism but several studies suggest it might be true.
The virgin coconut oil (virgin coconut oil) is better than butter and hydrogenated oils used in many homes. Besides adding flavor is healthier.
Several studies show that coconut oil could accelerate fat metabolism, not as much as others because it burns fat in the liver.
If the coconut helps you lose weight or not is in debate what is not in debate is the fact that consume more oil will not thin but fat. If you want to try the coconut oil to lose weight does not increase your consumption of oil, replaced some of the fat you use for cooking with coconut oil.
The author of another book (in English) about the coconut “The miracle of coconut oil and coconut cures” recommends eating Maxima 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil a day to get the benefits of rapid metabolism. According to the author, Bruce Fife, this is the equivalent of half a mature coconut flesh.
The book “The Coconut Diet” is nothing more than another diet book low carb (carbohydrates) that tries to sell more books with a degree in fashion. Latinas are well aware that many people in the Caribbean who cook with fat coconut oil, coconut is not a magic cure for fatness but if it is a good food if you eat in moderation.
