Coconut Oil Reviews

You have read the weight loss benefits of coconut oil. Now it's time to hear about people who have added coconut oil to their diets and had results to share. Here are some coconut oil reviews and testimonials:

In this review of coconut capsules, one woman says that among other things she has noticed a lot of extra energy. Another woman says it helps her workout longer. One man says he noticed his stomach has less fat. One woman says it helps to control her appetite.

In this forum, one person said their weight loss had leveled off but then they began to use coconut oil and they started to see weight loss again. One man does a fine job of explaining how those who are against coconut oil are wrong because they base their information on a false study that was done four decades ago.

In this forum post, there are a few skeptics, but towards the bottom you see one person who said it flattened their stomach and a girl said she lost 3-4 lbs in a week.

Last but not least, I use coconut oil every day. I use it as a supplement. I don't cook with it. I have lost weight, but then again I love herbs so it's not the only supplement I use. I know it really helps with weight loss though and that is why I use it. It does have saturated fat, but this is a medium chain fat which does NOT get stored. Have you ever heard about good fats and bad fats? Coconut oil contains good fat and good fat helps you get rid of your fat.

There are many more stories I could posts about studies done and people talking about their success, but I think you get the idea now.

Coconut Oil Side Effects

There is mixed information out there about coconut oil. Coconut oil is really good for you. If you aren't sure, read this article about a doctor who uses coconut oil to get his patients to come out of comas. It only takes him 30 minutes to 12 hours usually.

There are claims that coconut oil actually causes weight gain. That's a lie. The saturated fat in coconut oil is actually MCTs, which we don't get enough of in our diet. The Islanders of Trobriand almost only eat coconut and coconut oil. A whopping 80% of their calories come from coconuts. There are low levels of heart disease, stroke, and obesity.

Most people who use recommended doses of coconut oil will not see any side effects. You have to work your way up. If you start off using too much coconut oil, you may experience:
  • upset stomach
  • nausea
  • vomiting
Start out small and then increase if you feel like you need to. Coconut oil is safe to use if you are pregnant and nursing as long as you don't use too much as I have explained.

Coconut Oil Weight Loss Benefits

Did you know coconut oil may help you reach your weight loss goals? Coconut oil is a pretty impressive supplement and it has many weight loss benefits. Here are the weight loss benefits of coconut oil:
  • Appetite suppression
  • Boosts metabolism
  • Increases energy
  • Improves thyroid functioning
  • Improves digestion
Coconut oil increases your metabolism because it relieves stress on the pancreas. Since coconut oil regulates blood sugar, it decreases your appetite. That will make you less prone to snacking and binges. Coconut oil is able to increase your energy during the day. Coconut oil also improves the functioning of your thyroid, which can lead to weight loss.

Coconut oil is one of the great herbal supplements for weight loss. It's very healthy for you. Not only does it help you lose weight, but it does so many other things for your body. I wouldn't be without this amazing supplement.
