Does coconut oil or juice help compulsive overeating and weight loss.?




butterflys


How do I take it? by the spoonful ? Do I cook with it? Has anyone tried it? Thankyou.


Answer
I want to share.

I bought a coconut from the store while doing errands three days ago.

Drank the water in it right when I got home.

Broke it open and ate the meats in it as snacks in three days while sharing it with children.

One child made a tropical smoothie and added some fresh coconut to it for breakfast and made enough for the entire family.

The past three days I consumed some coconut, grapefruits, avocados, mangos, salads, soups, steamed veggies of all kinds, steak, chicken, oats, whole grain breads, and some jams and eggs, sparkeling juices and mostly water and some fresh coffee.

All out of sequence, but you get the picture. Its called variety, because there is no one thing... Just don't eat junk by not allowing it in your home and don't buy any food at any franchise or restaurant. Just eat at home and take your lunches to work.

It's not impossible to live that way, because I live that way and I don't skip a day of walking or exercising in some way or another.

Is it scientifically proved that coconut oil help in weight loss?

I searched and most websites says yes! But I just want to make sure that it does really work. I'm not looking for fast weight loss solution but a healthier way to live :) and it wouldn't hurt to lose few pounds!

So is it okay to add 1tbls of coconut oil to milk or warm water? I know I won't like to eat directly so I will try to cook more with it and drink 1 tbls everyday!



Answer
According to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. (esteemed cardiologist from the Cleveland clinic) all forms of refined oil and even olive oil and coconut oil is bad for your health. It adversely impacts your cardiovascular system and adds many calories without much nutrition. While there are many popular diets that work short-term (stressing the addition or elimination of a group of foods), most fail miserably within one year. You seem to be looking for snake oil, and there is no simple remedy.

He recommends ground flax seed (available from health food stores and some grocery stores) for the Omega-3 fatty acids we all need. I take one teaspoon every day. As a vegetarian I take B12 and D3 supplements. My diet is heavy into leafy green vegetables, colored vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and some fruit. I prefer raw over cooked and processed when possible.

I lost 80+ pounds by simply switching to a pure vegetarian diet as recommended by Dr. Neal Barnard. Dr. Dean Ornish is another good source, but he tends to be more lenient on his diet recommendations.

I found that I could lose weight with my standard portions and without extra exercise. It was easy because I feel a lot better when I eat right. Eating junk food and other processed food and convenience foods is the likely cause for the epidemic of obesity in the US.
