Im a teenager and have been reading alot that it isn't very good to be SUPER picky on calories during your teen years or it could hurt your growth. I want to model so I can have money for a horse. I read somewhere that if you have three tablespoons of coconut oil a day it can help you loose weight? Is this myth or truth? If its true I'll add it to my schedule, my mom loves coconut oil for her skin and for her cooking. So we have tons of it!
Answer
Your kiddin me right!!! Coconut oil. I have heard it is good for the hair..yeah...but for losing weight...haha that is downright a myth.
Coconut oil is all saturated fat. WHich is bad for you..period!!!
So If I were you I stop looking for shortcuts and stick to what works. That is the combination of a healthy diet and good exercise at least 4 to 5 times a week for 30min least. You wanna model you say. I assume that you are not fat to begin with then. SO why do you wanna lose weight. THe industry is changing in case if you have not heard. THey do not take in anorexic looking models no more. Paris was the first to start doing that and it is the fashion capital of the world.
You are growing like you said, so eat lots of fruits and vegetables and lean meats. That will not only improve your health but your complexion and radiance of your skin. GOod Luck on getting your horse!!

Taking Coconut Oil Internally?
Dennis Luc
I have heard of taking coconut oil internally. I heard if you take it internally it can help prevent and cure acne. is this true? also what are the other internal effects. and is 3tbs of coconut oil how much i should take a day. also how many times a day should i apply it directly to my skin to avoid too much oily skin?
Answer
The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength. These benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and its properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc.
If you are using coconut oil for topical purposes, especially hair care, just melt the oil (if it is solid) by keeping the bottle in the sun or warm water. You can also take some coconut oil out and put it in a small bowl and heat the bowl over a flame (do not use microwave). Then take the oil on your palm and apply it to your hair. If you want to use it for internal consumption, simply replace butter or vegetable oils with coconut oil in your recipes. Remember, you need not switch to coconut oil completely, as you will miss the benefits of other oils and dairy products.
Anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons a day is sufficient.
