Everyday it seems that there is a new diet being created for people to try. The coconut diet is the newest fad in weight loss. So much so that even the celebrities have taken a liking to it and have begun to follow it religiously.
So what is the coconut diet? Coconut oil might be rich in saturates - but it helps to boost the bodies’ metabolism thanks to the triglycerides that it contains. Triglycerides burn faster and thus help with people trying to lose weight. It also helps to improve thyroid function.
The coconut diet is similar to the Atkins diet except that you will add 2-3tbps. Of coconut oil to your diet every day. There are four phases to this diet. The first phase is the most strictest part and requires that you stay completely away from carbs for three weeks. You are only allowed to eat foods that are rich in protein like chicken, fish, and veggies, eggs, cheese, and nuts. You will also need to drink 10 glasses a day.
The second phase is referred to as the cleansing phase. This 4 week period will help you to detoxify your body. Many people don’t like this phase because you will have to drink concoctions like water that has lemon juice and olive oil.
The third phase is the time when you get to bring back carbs. The fourth brings them back even more.
It is a fairly easy diet to follow as long as you don’t mind saying goodbye to some of your favorite foods.
