Weight loss: Use this cooking oil to burn belly fat and lose fast – what is it? – Express
Posted: September 27, 2019 at 1:45 pm
When it comes to losing weight, slimmers can choose from a long list of diet plans to shed the pounds. From the low-carb keto diet to cutting to going vegan like Simon Cowell, there are many ways to slim down. On top of diet and exercise, there are other things which have been shown to help speed up the process even more. Using coconut oil can help flatten abs, and by swapping their usual cooking oil for it, slimmers could lose weight and burn belly fat quickly. Abdominal fat, better known as belly fat, is the fat that tends to lodge around your organs. Belly fat isnt just an issue due to its appearance. It can actually put people at a risk of more serious health issues such as heart disease diabetes and inflammation.
Any reduction in abdominal fat is likely to have very positive effects on ones metabolic health and drastically reduce risk of chronic disease.
By ditching current cooking fats for coconut oil, dieters could see huge improvements.
How does it work?
Coconut oil is one of the worlds most friendly fats.
It contains a unique combination of fatty acids, which have powerful effects on metabolism.
Several studies show that just by adding coconut oil to your diet, slimmers can lose fat, especially the "dangerous" fat in the abdominal cavity.
Coconut oil is high in Medium Chain Triglycerides, which are fatty acids that are metabolised differently than most other fats, leading to beneficial effects on metabolism.
In one study, 15-30 grams (1 to 2 tablespoons) of medium chain fats per day increased energy expenditure by 5 per cent, totalling about 120 calories per day.
As well as its ability to speed up metabolism, coconut oil can also reduce appetite as it makes slimmers feel fuller.
Many studies on medium chain fatty acids show that, compared to the same amount of calories from other fats, they increase feelings of fullness and lead to an automatic reduction in calorie intake.
There are also other studies showing that medium chain fats lead to weight loss, reduced waist circumference and various improvements in metabolic health.
In one study on obese men, 30 grams of coconut oil for 4 weeks reduced waist circumference by 2.86 cm.
How should it be eaten?
Slimmers will be surprised to know that by consuming just a small amount of coconut oil, they could see improvements to their weight.
Studies have found that 2 tablespoons seems to be an effective dose.
This has been shown to benefit weight, reduce belly fat and improve other health issues.
Coconut oil is ideal for cooking because almost 90 per cent of its fatty acids are saturated, making it extremely stable at high temperatures.
Eating grapefruit before daily meals has also been found to speed up the weight loss process.
Rich in antioxidants, nutrients and fibre, grapefruit is one of the healthiest citrus fruits that can be eaten.
It has several properties linked to weight loss, especially its fibre content, which helps promote fullness and reduce calorie intake.
