I've run across some VERY interesting studies recently on the relationship between coconut oil (or any type of coconut fat, includingcoconut milk and cream) and how it can affect your body fat... The findings may surprise you! A 2009 study published in the Journal Lipids consisted of testing the effects of either 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or 2 tablespoons of soybean on a group of 40 women over the span of 28 days. Results showed that the group that ate the coconut oil had a decrease in abdominal fat, while the soybean oil group actually showed a slight increase in belly fat.  Additionally, the group that ate the coconut oil showed increased HDL ‘good’ cholesterol levels, while the soybean oil group had decreased HDL cholesterol and increased LDL ‘ bad’ cholesterol. The Journal of Nutrition published a study where researchers investigated all studies relative to medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that are abundant in coconut fat and weight management. The studies showed t...

There’s one simple reason that most “detoxes” fail, and if you tried dozens and never gotten any real results, this is probably why… They cut out the #1 fat-burning food that SHOULD be the basis of your entire “detox”... Dietary fat. Or what I like to call Energy Accelerators… Because these foods literally fill you up so you DON’T overeat… They help transform you from being a carb-burner to being a fat-burner… And most important, you NEVER feel deprived because you’re eating actual foods that fill you up, so you aren’t snacking every couple of yours because someone told you that “keeps your metabolism burning”. It doesn’t. In fact, eating every couple of hours, no matter how healthy the food is, just forces your body to work overtime digesting everything and you get HUGE insulin spikes that put you in fat-storing mode instead of fat-burning mode… Which is where you want to be, right? So if you see a “detox” or “weekend cleanse” that’s all about drinking veggie ju...

The Danger Of  Toxins In Our Body In this post, I am going to be sharing with you about one shocking finding as revealed in a prestigious medical journal, Lancet which recently proved that environmental toxins do indeed make people fat and can cause people to get diabetes [ref: Jones OA, et al (2008). Environmental pollution and diabetes: a neglected association. Lancet. 26;371(9609):287-8.]. The studies explained that, there inside our body, these environmental toxins unleash cascade of dangerous events that can disrupt our body ability to effectively balance the blood sugar level and metabolism. These environmental toxins also destroy the delicate balance of bacteria that present in our gut. These toxins also influence the genes within our fat tissue which allow them to create new fat cells. As this process goes on, the new fat cells then fill up with more fat and toxins leading directly to a greater risk of causing us to getting diabetes type 2. These toxins also pose ...
