Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Dr Oz talked about coconut oil for weight loss on October 30, 2012 segment of his show. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) or medium chain tryglicerides (MCT) that are rapidly oxidized in the liver and not stored as fat. This increases energy expenditure and may lead to weight loss.

Personally, I take 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil everyday. It helps to curb my cravings and hunger. See my previous post on: How to use coconut oil for weight loss

How To Use Coconut Oil For Weight Loss

coconut oil weight loss diet

Being on a low carb, moderate protein and high fiber diet has helped me lose excess weight, but it is not without shortcoming. I often get carb/sugar cravings right after meals and in between meals.

Having read Eat Fat, Lose Fat book by Mary Enig & Sally Fallon, I realised that my fat intake was too low. So I added several tablespoons of coconut oil to my diet, as suggested in the Quick and Easy Weight Loss Plan of the book.

The most noticeable and immediate changes were feeling of satiation and no more cravings! Since my food intake was reduced, I lost inches off my waist.

Dr Lindsey Slimming Superfood: Caralluma Fimbriata

Caralluma Fimbriata is an edible cactus that is native to India. It is used to suppress hunger during times of famine, hence it is also known as the “Great Hunger Buster” or “famine food”.

How Does Caralluma Fimbriata Aid Weight Loss?
This superfood contains phythochemicals that may block the enzymes involved in breaking down and producing fatty acids in the body. When these enzymes are suppressed,  fat formation is inhibited and the body has to utilise fat storage for energy. Caralluma Fimbriata can also help to curb appetite and cravings.
