Coconut Oil...the weight loss dynamo!
I found out something really interesting about coconut oil and weight loss. I knew coconut oil helped to facilitate weight loss and that the medium chain fatty acids were utilized as energy rather than fat. But what I truly did not know is how your metabolism is affected when you eat coconut oil.
There is research that shows after you eat coconut oil even just one time, your metabolism operates at an elevated rate for 24 hours afterward. So when you eat coconut oil, you are fueling a fat-burning machine long after the meal is consumed. Yeah!
