=== Coconut Oil's Metabolic Boost (02:08) ===

[00:00:00]  I've got to ask two more questions before the doctor gets on his airplane and goes home.
[00:00:04]  I have a couple questions too.
[00:00:05]  Yeah, you ask one.
[00:00:06]  Well, I have a note here.
[00:00:08]  It says that coconut, it says coconut weight loss.
[00:00:11]  That was my next question.
[00:00:12]  Yeah, tell us about that, doctor.
[00:00:14]  I'll tell you, after getting through the winter months now, I don't know about you all, but you really do gain a few pounds during the winter months.
[00:00:22]  And so tell us about that.
[00:00:24]  So you can use coconut oil as an aid to help you in your weight loss.
[00:00:28]  Coconut oil has some advantage for this.
[00:00:32]  One of them is that when you add coconut oil into your food, it has the ability to help satisfy hunger.
[00:00:40]  So you don't eat as much.
[00:00:42]  And so you'll be more satisfied for a longer amount of time so that you don't have the tendency to want to snack between meals.
[00:00:49]  And so that you're not so starved by the time the next meal comes along that you overeat at the next meal.
[00:00:55]  This has been documented with scientific studies showing that it helps satisfy hunger and cuts down on total calorie consumption.
[00:01:05]  Another thing is that coconut oil, because of the medium-chain fatty acids and coconut oil, they're actually processed differently in the body.
[00:01:13]  And so instead of contributing to body fat, the medium-chain fatty acids are actually used to produce energy.
[00:01:21]  And so you get a boost of energy.
[00:01:24]  One of the advantages of this is when you have all this energy, you have a tendency to want to use it.
[00:01:30]  And so you start cleaning the house, going for a jog, doing things.
[00:01:34]  You become physically more active.
[00:01:36]  And so you're burning off more calories than you normally would.
[00:01:40]  And because of this boost of energy, it has another incredible effect, is it also pushes your metabolism up into a higher gear.
[00:01:49]  So you burn off calories at an accelerated rate.
[00:01:53]  Studies have shown that after a single meal containing coconut oil, that your metabolism increases, and it remains elevated for a full 24 hours.
[00:02:03]  So for 24 hours, you're burning off calories at an accelerated rate.
