Want to lose weight or lose fat? Second of the top ten fat-burning foods to start eating now

Coconuts and coconut oil.

According to Bruce Fife, ND, over the past 30 years fat consumption has decreased by 11%, and total calorie consumption has decreased by 4%, yet two-thirds of the people who lose weight on low-fat diets gain it all back within one year.

The fact is that eating enough of the right fats is essential for long term weight loss. Fat slows down the emptying of the stomach so that you feel full longer. As a result, you consume fewer calories.

While all fats suppress the appetite, those with Medium Chain Triglycerides are better for weight loss.

A recent study in The Journal of Nutrition shows that replacing your usual fats with MCT fats, like coconut oil, will help you burn more energy, eat less, and that "both animal and human trials suggest a greater satiating effect of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) compared with long-chain triglycerides (LCT)." In essence, you are satisfied with less food, and burn fat more quickly and easily.

Dr. Andrew Weil notes "that coconut oil is high in lauric acid and contains trace amounts of caprylic acid, both of which appear to have antiviral and antifungal properties, and support immune function," although he reminds us that coconut oil is still a saturated fat, and should be used in moderation. Other studies support the antiviral effect, in that coconut oil has been found to delay, and reduce the spread of viruses, including HIV.
