15 Coconut Oil Benefits You Need to Know

Reduces Hunger

Coconut Oil is a food that is rich in fatty acids. This fatty acid has the power to reduce your hunger. Also, the MTCs in coconut oil may help to reduce hunger at the same time leading to a spontaneous decrease in calorie intake. This evidence is shown in the fact that men who followed a high MTCs diet took in fewer calories and lost more weight than men who ate foods with low or medium MCTs content. It is advisable to consume coconut oil about 15 to 20 minutes before taking meals. This reduces your appetite, and you will not end up pointless binging on food. [4]
