Coconut oil differs greatly from most other oils in the diet. The reason why it is different is the medium chain fatty acids we call MCT in it. These fatty acids are digested and metabolized faster than others. And in this way, they positively affect our weight loss process. Not only that, they also support the melting of our belly fat, which is a big problem for all of us. So, how do they achieve this, let's go into detail ;)
Thermogenic effect!
The most important feature of coconut oil is that it creates a thermogenic effect. If you ask what this effect means, we can briefly say that it accelerates the body's fat burning. There are also some studies stating that when we replace 1-2 tablespoons of our daily fat allowance with coconut oil, energy expenditure increases by an average of 5%. A little note to those who say they only eat on scientific basis :)
Decreasing appetite
As you all know, the logic of losing weight is to burn more calories than we consume. But this does not mean that you should consume these calories in an unhealthy way. I suggest you keep in mind that the content of your diet is also important. Now let's talk about how coconut oil helps us at this point. Studies show that compared to the same amount of calories taken from other fats, MCTs provide a greater feeling of satiety and thus automatically create a decrease in calorie intake.
It affects the bagel appearance in the abdominal area
Repeated studies show that regularly consumed coconut oil, thanks to its stated effects, supports the reduction of fat, especially in the abdominal area, while also increasing the levels of good cholesterol, which we call HDL.
Do not turn the situation to your advantage. !!!
Remember that coconut oil is also a type of fat and contains 9 calories per gram. If you have thought like "It is beneficial and supports weight loss, then I will eat it spoon by spoon", I advise you to give up immediately. Because consuming more than necessary may give you plus weight instead of minus weight. Approximately 30 g (2 tablespoons) per day Consuming it as a lover) will be enough for you for all these things I have mentioned. Let's see if there is anyone who does not fall to their target weight :)
Not to forget, there is no miraculous food in the weight loss process, there is a balanced diet and the right food selection :)
