The Coconut Diet

April 8, 2008

There are many kind of product we can find on the market including the bad one that are actually launched on there. One such product is the coconut oil that coming with coconut diet ideas. The coconut diets is just another diets program that add some kind of miracle ingredient to a strict eating program and hope that everything turns out fast. The magic ingredient is called as ‘coconut oil’ and its metabolism boosting capacity. They mentioned that coconut oil can be rapidly burnt by the body, although the fact said the opposite.

This diet is in fact a regular law-carb diet. While at the first step of the diet, users are not permitted to eat any kind of carbohydrates and have to do with lean foods, such as eggs, nuts, cheese, fish, chicken, turkey and up to 10 glasses of water per day. They also have to swallow 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil per day. The first stage lasts for 3 weeks, only to be followed by an optional detox stage. The second stage lasts for 4 weeks and focuses on cleansing the liver, kidneys, gallbladder and colon through certain interesting means (such as drinking water mixed with lemon juice and olive oil).

The third stage is the reintroduction of carbohydrates in the daily eating plan. In this stage the dieter more allowed to eat carbs. It is assumed that the dieter has lost more than 10 pounds by this point and still maintaining a weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week. At the last stage, dieters are allowed to add more carbohydrates on their eating plan, but they still drinking coconut oil.

Unfortunately, there are no explanation clearly about this diet. the dieters who follow this program provides no sound explanation for the exact influence of coconut oil on weight loss. While it’s correct that coconut oil able to regulate the thyroid gland, it has far too much saturated fat to be healthy. Furthermore, it’s not really clear if the coconut oil has serious effect in this diet, since the weight loss can easily be ascribed to the strict “no carbohydrates” eating plan. Most dieting experts and dietitians agree that access to saturated fats must be limited while diets, so it’s very strange to see dieters that claims the opposite.
