I have been adding coconut oil to everything I can for about 2 weeks now. I use it in place of butter on toast (the jar I keep in fridge) and pour it on salads, add to cooking, protein shakes (keep some liquid form in cuboard) and I have noticed it really curbs my appetite, I can go most of the day on the toast and some fruit and nuts and don't eat after dinner (if I have chicken salad dressed in coconut oil).
Sometimes I realise I have only eaten about 1000 cals, and I am a gal who used to run on about 3000!!
I have not noticed it effecting my BSL"s yet, but I have lost a kilo since on it and that's a great start:-) alternate every 3 low cals days with a day of eating 'normally' (today it was a BBQ for dinner and a tiny piece of cake, plus a ruski) so my metabolism doesn't drop and most days I do about 30 mins cardio.
I am 44 and very high risk for diabetes and weight is really hard to shift these days... but with the addition of coconut oil to my sugar free (well, 6/7 days) diet which is fairly low carb/ow GI the weight is finally starting to leave. And I know it is fat as the 1.5cm gone from each measurement confirms it.
I know it seems paradoxical to eat pure fat and loose weight. Like I am effectively adding up to 120 cals everytime I smear coconut oil onto what I eat, but Its working for me:-) And if it weren't vco it would be butter, or flax seed oil - but they never satisfied like vco.
Oh, and I got a friend onto it who has been eating hardly anything and walking an hour a day with NO result, absolutely no movement on the scale, and since she takes it her appetite has decreased AND she lost 300 grams - in 2 days.
I also take 2 drops of Lugol's iodine, massive doses of vitamins for pyrrole disorder (B6< Zinc, C, mag, selenium, E, etc) and keep the bowels moving with psylium.
The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV. It helps in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia. As a result of these various health benefits of coconut oil, though its exact mechanism of action was unknown, it has been extensively used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicinal system. The Coconut Research Center has compiled various references on scientific research done on coconut oil.
Coconut oil consists of more than ninety percent of saturated fats (Don’t panic! First read to the last word. Your opinion may change), with traces of few unsaturated fatty acids, such as monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Thanks
