Coconut Oil Diet

One of the main reasons I was inspired to start this blog on the coconut oil dietis because coconut oil has been such as benefit to my personal health, beauty and lifestyle. 

Typically, Asians and people from the South Pacific live longer and are healthier than most Americans.  Also, it’s not hard to notice that they are usually thinner than people from the US.  Studies have shown that obesity has skyrocketed in the United States as of 2008.  73% of Americans are obese, which is a sad state of affairs for us and out children.

The key to living healthy and weight control is by eating good fats and foods.  Good fats include olive oil, avocadosand coconut oil, which is a huge part of the Asian diet.  Even better is the lauric acid that is found in coconut oil which has healing properties.  When lauric acidis consumed forms monolaurin, a monoglyceride that has been shown to help destroy lipid-coated viruses, including HIV, herpes simplex, influenza, and cytomegalovirus, as well as a variety of bacteria.

2 years ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, even though I am still in my 20’s.  I was really resistant to taking meds and did some research on coconut oil.  5 days after starting on my extra virgin coconut oil, I felt better than I had felt in a year.  2 weeks after taking coconut oil, I found that I had lost 13 pounds with my same exercise regimen.  If you want to change your life and not become another statistic, it’s time to give the coconut oil diet a chance.
