Coconut Oil Made Me Slim Again

I had gained weight over the past couple years. Not a tremendous amount but enough that I didn't feel good about myself when I looked in the mirror. I started trying to lose weight but it wasn't coming off. When last summer arrived, I couldn't even fit into my favorite shorts.

Five weeks ago, I read an article about Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. It said that it helped with weight loss by increasing metabolism and that it was also good for your skin and your hair. I went down to my health food store and bought a jar of it.

The first time I used it to cook my eggs with, I didn't like the taste. I was used to frying in a combination of olive oil with a little butter. But, maybe because I was determined to give it a try, I soon got used to the taste and loved it. However, right from the start, I loved fish and steak or hamburger cooked in it. I started with two tablespoons a day. When I started researching it a little more, I saw where some people added it to their hot tea so I tried that. I only added a little and I soon adjusted to the oil in it.

Within two weeks, I realized that, even though I had only lost a couple pounds, my body was changing. My waist was slimmer and my stomach was flatter. I tried on my shorts and they fit - with a little room to spare!

I try to eat healthy and sensibly most of the time but I did not cut my calorie intake at all. And, over the last three weeks I have lost a couple more pounds - but it looks like a lot more because what I've lost, I've lost from all the right places. I'm not sure why but I definitely have.

I am presently taking about three tablespoons a day and, as a bonus, I have also started using it on my skin and body as suggested by other sites that I have been to.

I am now so pleased with it that it was becoming expensive. So I bypassed my neighborhood health store and ordered in on line. Its much cheaper that way. Just make sure that what you buy or order is Virgin Coconut Oil.
