Re: Can coconut oil cause weight gain?

[Guest guest]

Hi Iris,

Coconut oil usually only works for weight loss when combined with a low carb

diet.

Iris, Coconut oil is a good fuel, and if the body can't burn it all the rest

will be stored as fat rather than expelled. With no other dietary changes, in

order to burn 3 tbsp daily most people will need to expend more energy.

Carbohydrates are metabolic suppressors that push metabolism and growth factors

low and storage high, so carb loading should be reduced as well. Can you give up

a serving of carbohydrate foods per day to account for the oil serving?

Also, being sedentary is not an option for several reasons besides that it slows

metabolism, such as it doesn't increase lymph movement, toxin handling,

oxygenation etc., which you'd need in metabolic increase anyway.

Metabolic increase requires a higher, more youthful release of HGH human growth

hormone; without it impaired growth and recovery prevail as you age, dragging

down HGH and skewing other hormonal values. Elevating HGH requires workouts or

supplements. I and about 65-75 clients and family members have successfully used

SomaLife gHP, an amino acid stack, while others prefer the growth factors in 6

hour colostrum.

Since many people in the northern hemisphere are concerned about radiation in

milk right now, an option is New Zealand 6 hour colostrum. Here's a link to

Donna Crow's site (no relation); an adult dose for growth should be around 2

rounded tbsp daily, with body builders taking three times that:

all good,
