I could not find a thread on coconut oil so I decided to post a thread here
Coconut oil helps reduce body fat for many
I read that it revs up your metabolism and really fills you up
* BF loss is most likely due to revved up metabolism and how much the oil fills you up along with curbing your sweet tooth for sweets+carbs
I was wondering if anyone has tried it and what were your results
Currently I am on a low carb diet and just bought some coconut oil... I didn't buy the coconut oil just to aid in my fat loss but because of all the other benefits it offers
(The best coconut oil to buy is organic virgin and unrefined)

Coconut Oil helps fight against Candida I am not going to go into detail what exactly it is but it's an overgrowth of yeast present in he mucous membranes of the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina.
People with candida will most likely suffer from sympotms (after taking the VCO) such as headaches and stomach aches this is due to the VCO killing off the Candida so in that situation you would start off with as much VCO as you can handle
