Coconut is high in saturated fat,
but more than half of that comes from lauric acid, a unique lipid that battles
bacteria and improves cholesterol scores. And get this: A study published in
Lipids found that dietary supplementation of coconut oil actually reduced
abdominal obesity. Of the participants, half were given two tablespoons of
coconut oil daily and the other half were given soybean oil, and although both
groups experienced overall weight loss, only the coconut oil consumers’
waistlines shrunk. Sprinkle unsweetened flakes over yogurt or use coconut milk
in a stir-fry to start whittling your waist.
