Virgin Coconut Oil and Weight Loss

Many people have reported that consuming “Virgin Coconut Oil” (VCO), the most natural and potent form of coconut oil,  helps them to lose weight. They often experience increased energy levels and fewer cravings for carbohydrates and sweets. It’s easier for many people to eat less when consuming 2 - 4 Tablespoons of virgin coconut oil per day, because the fats provide a feeling of satiety or fullness after eating that is not generally experienced when eating a low-fat meal.

Virgin coconut oil is rich in the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), like lauric acid, that have been shown to boost the metabolism. In fact, around 50% of the fatty acids in this extra virgin organic coconut oil are lauric acid. It appears that the amount of energy used to metabolize these MCFAs is greater than the energy they provide, and lauric acid is the most rapidly metabolized fatty acid, scientist have found. Coconut oil has a “thermogenic” effect, meaning it raises your body temperature. This in turn boosts energy levels and metabolism. This may be why it seems to be especially helpful with those who have sluggish thyroid problems*, that often don't show up on blood tests for thyroid function.

Research points to the fact that a major cause of weight problems in America today may be an under-active thyroid gland, especially among women. That’s because the thyroid gland controls body temperature and metabolism, and when the thyroid is sluggish, body temperature and metabolism tend to slow down. Some other symptoms of low, or hypothyroid, are fatigue, cold hands and feet, depression, anxiety, constipation, easy bruising, insomnia, dry skin, unhealthy and brittle nails, allergies and asthma, migraines, acne, hair loss and low sex drive.

Adding Coconut Oil To Your Diet Can Boost Your Energy Level and Your Metabolism, Helping You To Lose Weight

Virgin Coconut oil is high in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), like lauric acid, that have been shown to elevate your metabolism.  And that's good news for those of you trying to lose weight.  As you probably know, the higher your metabolism, the more calories your body burns, even when you are not exercising.  About 50% of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid.  It turns out that the amount of energy your body uses to metabolize these MCFAs is greater than the energy that the MCFAs provide, that means you burn more calories than what is in the coconut oil just by your body metabolizing, or using the oil.  In fact, scientists have found that lauric acid is the most quickly metabolized of all fatty acids.  In addition, coconut oil seems to have a “thermogenic” effect, meaning it raises your body temperature.  This also in turn boosts energy levels and metabolism, and may be why coconut oil seems to be so good for those with low performing thyroids.
