Coconut Oil & Ketogenic Diets

Coconut Oil and the Ketogenic Diet

With January behind us, only the most dedicated have held onto their New Year’s resolutions.  If you are among the dedicated few who have stayed the course towards your goal of a healthier diet and exercise, congratulations!  Many people who want to lose weight are finding success with the Ketogenic diet. If so, you may be searching for a way to boost your weight loss by burning more fat. Coconut oil may be the answer you are looking for.

MCT Oil

Since coconut oil contains zero carbohydrates, it is the perfect addition to the diets of people working to lose weight.

Coconut oil facts:

• Assists in decreasing appetite
• Aids in burning fat calories
• Promotes losing belly fat
• 55% medium-chain triglyceride (MCT).  

While it is classified as a saturated fat, coconut oil is metabolized differently than the long-chain fatty acids that make up most of the Standard American Diet. MCT’s are easily digested and go straight to the liver where the body immediately metabolizes them into energy.

The Ketogenic Diet

The popular Keto Diet consists of eating:

• high fat
• low carbohydrate
• medium protein

 Eating this way puts the body into a state of ketosis so that you burn fat for energy rather than glucose. Adding coconut oil to your diet can help to speed up the process of ketone production. The MCT in coconut oil can also make you feel fuller which suppresses the urge to grab unhealthy snacks.
