You might not put coconut oil into your cup of green tea but taking these two together in a dietary supplement can safely increase the body’s metabolic rate, helping you burn fat and lose weight!

Coconut oil was thought to be harmful to cardiovascular health because it is a saturated fat. The saturated fats found in coconut oil consist primarily of healthy medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), rather than potentially harmful long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). MCTs are more easily digested than LCTs, so instead of being stored in fat tissues like LCTs, they are quickly “burned” (converted into energy) by the liver. Coconut oil also slows the digestion, reduces blood sugar fluctuations, and helps you feel full so you stop snacking.
