Coconut oil is very useful in reducing weight. Coconut oil is a healthy, naturally saturated vegetable product. Unhydrogenated coconut oil contains “good” fat, In fact, it is made of 50% Lauric Acid. It is also made up of mostly medium chain fatty acids, which the body metabolizes efficiently and converts into energy, rather than storing as fat. Coconut oil does not elevate your “bad” cholesterol level (LDL), and is slightly lower in calories than most vegetable oils.
Coconut Oil is easy to digest and helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems. Further, it increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thereby burning out more energy and helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas, who eat coconut oil daily as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese or overweight.
