In considering all the health benefits of coconut oil, the one that means the most to me is it's ability to help increase ones metabolism. <BR/>Avocados not only taste great, but they contain healthy fat which we need if we want to lose weight. They also give us vitamins and minerals, have no starch, and are very low sugar. <BR/>Since coconut oil and Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365146188246508541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542005067571394393.post-66506661391995699402008-07-10T09:29:00.000-05:002008-07-10T09:29:00.000-05:00These are all interesting comments!

Secondly, pinto beans are full of fiber and also have protein. Grapefruit is full of vitamin c, antioxidant properties and pectin fiber making it a good fruit choice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714019282485573622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542005067571394393.post-31384025780811437962008-07-09T21:55:00.000-05:002008-07-09T21:55:00.000-05:00Coconut oil is a saturated, medium chain fat which...Coconut oil is a saturated, medium chain fat which is relatively easy for the liver to process, and which actually uses up energy when metabolized. It even has a somewhat thermogenic effect, meaning it raises body temperature, boosting your energy and metabolic rate. In these ways, coconut oil can act as a weight-loss agent. That's why I said coconut oil wouldn't destroy a weight-loss diet. <Pam Pappas MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820479204183581736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542005067571394393.post-76688069499014752312008-07-09T21:42:00.000-05:002008-07-09T21:42:00.000-05:00I chose coconut oil, because I heard that farmers ...I chose coconut oil, because I heard that farmers originally gave it to cows to fatten them up, but instead they built muscle and got lean:) I also chose grapefruit because it's so good for you:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542005067571394393.post-12009342978057941562008-07-09T21:35:00.000-05:002008-07-09T21:35:00.000-05:00Kim,I chose apples and grapefruit.
