Coconut Oil. It is a saturated fat, so how can it be a weight loss supplement? We’ve been taught that saturated fats are the bad fats, right? Right! But Coconut Oil contains an essential fatty acid, Medium Chain Triglycerides. MCT’s metabolize differently than the saturated fats that are in meat and dairy, the body doesn’t store MCTs as Fat. Instead, the body transports them directly to the liver, and that is where they are converted, directly into energy!
It seems almost impossible to lose weight, especially weight that accumulates in the stomach or abdomen.
Organic Virgin coconut Oil is proven scientifically to affect our body’s ability to shed those extra pounds we can’t seem to lose.
Eating one or two tablespoons of Organic Virgin coconut Oil will boost your metabolism by speeding it up. It does this by providing your body with clean, obtainable energy so you’ll feel less hungry. It also increases your ability to absorb nutrients from the food you eat so you’ll crave less junk food. It helps balance your hormones so you have less stress, because stress is a cause of fat retention. When MCT”S go straight to the liver, the processing of MCT’s forms keytone bodies, and keytone bodies have the added benefit of reducing hunger and cravings.
2-3 servings of coconut oil each day will help you feel fuller faster so you are not snacking all of the time.
Coconut Oil promotes the production of healthy hormones which improve digestion, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase energy to help burn away thestubborn fat that is stored around the waist, buttocks and thighs.

Coconut Oil does more than just help you lose weight, but we’ll save that for another day. Right now, all I can think of is getting rid of my “middle” weight! If Coconut Oil can keep me from being hungry, while boosting my metabolism, and giving me enough energy so that I can exercise, and still not be hungry, then it is worth a try.
Remember, everything in Moderation! Too much of anything is not a good thing! One to two Tablespoons daily might do some good, but maintain a balanced, healthy diet, and exercise at least three times a week!
Hey, if you are gonna try this, make sure you are “eating” Organic Virgin Coconut Oil! Do not eat more that two Tablespoons daily, but start out slow, try a teaspoon in your coffee, build up to two. You see what I mean? Please let me know if you are seeing results! It doesn’t happen overnight!
