Who else wants to lose belly fat!!!
You are passing through the market on your way back from work and you stumble upon this amazing outfit that you want so bad, you are sure that it would fit you so you tell the store keeper you want to try it on . You take it and you test it it's all good except for the stomach region that keeps protruding out and makes you look unsexy.
You have no other option than to let go of this outfit because your tummy doesn't fit in it. This isn't the first time this is happening in fact it has happened a lot of times.
You don't need anyone to tell you the health risk of having belly fat, not only does it make you look ugly and unattractive but it lodges around your organs and can cause inflammation , diabetes and heart disease. Any reduction in belly fat has a positive effect on your metabolic health, longevity and drastically reduces your risk of chronic disease.
Now i know you want to get rid of your belly fat but due to your work schedule you rarely have the time to exercise, what if you had a supplement that you could replace in your diet that helps you burn more calories while you go about your daily business and even while you sleep? How convenient will that be?
And the interesting fact about this supplement is that it is actually well known but not readily available to obtain and you just did not know it can be used as a diet support………
The natural supplement is Coconut Oil not the refined and fractionated coconut oil that has undergone much processing removing most if its nutrient and benefits and can only be used for skin and hair care. I am talking about the unrefined Coconut Oil the one which has all its nutrients and benefits intact.
How does Coconut oil help me lose fat??
Stay with me i will explain it to you…..
Coconut oil is known as the world most friendly weight loss fat this is because it is one of the only medium chain fatty acid (medium chain triglycerides) available in the world. Where most fats contain long chain fatty acid coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acid which aids in weight loss.
Onward…..
Now medium chain fatty acid are metabolized differently than the long chain fatty acid, this is because they are sent straight to the liver from the digestive tract and are either used for energy production right away or turned into ketone bodies
Coconut is oil in particular is thermogenic and eating it tends to increase energy expenditure ( burning of fat) when compared to other food coconut oil increases fat burning by 120 calories at least per day.
Another way coconut oil helps you is that consuming coconut oil helps give you the feeling of fullness and makes you loose appetite so you consume less food.
Consumption of less food = less calories intake
So coconut oil boosts fat burning ( increase in calories out) and reduces appetite (reduces calories in)
How to introduce coconut oil into your diet
Put in mouth and let it melt
Mix in tea or coffee
Cook with coconut oil in place of normal oil
Add to juice and other drinks
The standard dose is two tablespoons per day.
Introduce slowly into your diet as too much too soon can cause stomach cramping, indigestion, or diarrhea.
Other benefits of Unrefined Coconut Oil……..
If any food can be classified as a superfood it is the coconut oil for its health benefits are much..here are a few… ….
Can be used to remove water resistant makeup

Can be used to fight the bacteria that causes acne
Can be used as hair detangler and treat dandruff

And the greatest of all benefits is that it protects your heart by increasing good cholesterol (HDL) and reduces bad cholesterol (LDL)
Conclusion:
