Coconut Diet
The Coconut Diet picks up where traditional diets fail. Low-fat diets don't work. The body needs a proper balance
of good fats, but in recent years traditional, healthy saturated fats have been substituted with harmful transfatty
acids in the US food industry. We now know that these harmful transfatty acids that are found in most vegetable
oils are not the healthy oils they were once thought to be, and they are considered one of the major culprits in
modern diseases and obesity. The Coconut DietTM replaces these highly refined harmful fats with one of the
healthiest fats known to mankind: coconut oil.
The Coconut DietTM is a not one specific diet plan, but a way of life! Most diet plans are temporary and tell you
exactly which foods to eat, how much to eat, how to count calories or carbs, etc. Statistics prove that those
starting diet plans are usually doomed to failure before they even start, because while they may temporarily lose
weight on specific diet plans, they will almost always regain that weight and more as soon as they stop using the
diet plan.

Health Benefit of Coconut Oil
There are still many people who have negative associations with
anything that contains ‘saturated fat’. I believe this mainly is
conceived through the belief that saturated fat from animals
raises blood cholesterol levels and causes heart disease.
However, there is no evidence showing that too much animal fat
in the diet promotes heart disease. In-fact there is over 20
studies that have shown people who have had a heart attack
haven’t consumed more fat than people who have not had a heart
attack.
Animal fat should be the main source of energy for our bodies,
without modern technology processing food and making it
available at our convenient local grocery, we would be picking
fruit and vegetables when they where in season, and hunting for
animal meat.
I’ve heard on many occasions that nutritionists have advised
patients that coconut oil is bad for their health because it’s close
to 90% saturated fat. These nutritionists are poorly educated and
have failed to differentiate the many types of saturated fats from
each other.
Saturated fat can be broken into three different categories, short
chain, medium chain and long chain.
Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid, this fat is digested and
assimilated easily in the body and is transferred directly to the
liver where it is immediately converted into energy, also meaning
it isn’t directly stored as body fat. In addition, coconut oil
stimulated the thyroid gland which regulates the metabolism and
can help speed it up.
One of the worst dietary myths is that “Eating fat can make you
fat”. In-fact, you actually need healthy fats to help you lose body
fat and keep your body healthy. Some of the benefits from eating
healthy fats contained in Cod Liver Oil, where mentioned in my
previous article titled ‘Time to bust out the Cod Liver Oil’.

There are many other health benefits from eating good fats, below is a list
of some of the benefits associated with the consumption of coconut oil;
- Supports healthy metabolism
- Supports thyroid function
- Supports heart health
- Strengthens the immune system
- Assists in fat loss
- Improves digestion
- Improves skin appearance and elasticity
- Helps treat Candida and yeast infections
- Improves cholesterol levels
- Assists in killing off viruses
- Helps kill bacteria
- Relieves symptoms of diabetes
- Has proven anti-tumor effects
Coconut oil is one of the best oils to cook with, because of its high
saturated fat content it can withstand higher heats without oxidising and
going rancid. So for any situation where oil will be heated to boiling point,
i.e. frying onions, coconut oil would be your best option. When fat has
become oxidised or rancid, it has turned into hydrogenated fat which is the
worst form of fat we can consume. Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated
oils are well known for causing cardiovascular disease.
Lauric acid is also rich in coconut oil and makes up approximately 50% of its
fatty acids. Lauric acid is a key disease-fighting substance; it has been
known to help fight viruses such as HIV, influenza and herpes as well as
enhance the immune system and ward of bad bacteria and yeast infections.
In addition, the only other natural source of lauric acid is found in mothers
milk which helps in protecting newborn babies against pathogenic bacteria.
When purchasing coconut oil be sure to buy one that is organic and
un-refined. Although most coconut oils available will be of good quality,
some coconut oils will be refined, bleached and deodorised and should be
avoided as the health benefits would have become close to non-existent.
