hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Announces Coconut Oil, Refined for Fast Weight Loss

Diet Doc recently released refined coconut oil known as MCT oil, known to begin burning fat in as little as 30 minutes after consumption.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 04, 2013

While coconut oil can be found on almost any shelf in America, the main fat burning ingredient in normal coconut oil is actually called medium chain triglycerides, or MCT. These MCT’s are the fat burning catalyst in coconut oil. Diet Doc has perfected the process of refining the oil down to 100% pure MCT’s. Only Diet Doc offers this new refined coconut oil for fast weight loss, made of only pure MCT’s, free of any other additives. Most of the coconut oil marketed for fast weight loss will actually cause weight gain due to its high fat content. This pure MCT oil is flavorless, so it can be added to many foods, made into vinaigrette, or used as cooking oil without changing the taste of the food being eaten. Even other brands of coconut oil that claim to include pure MCT are actually diluted with glycerine, and only contain 45% MCT oil, the fat burning catalyst. Diet Doc MCT oil is pure and free from fillers, thus capable of producing fast weight loss as soon as 30 minutes after consumption. Diet Doc’s President Julie Wright reminds clients that “Much of the coconut oil being advertised as a diet aid is mislabeled and actually hinders weight loss due to an extremely high fat content. Our MCT oil is refined for maximum purity and fat burning potential.” Coconut oil that is marketed for dieting that has not undergone MCT refinement will not facilitate any results; in fact, coconut oil is extremely fatty and will cause rapid weight gain if not refined into MCT oil.

By removing the palmitic acid and other negative elements present in the coconut oil, the extraction separates the medium-chain fatty acids from the coconut oil. The end product is concentrated in 8-carbon length caprylic acid and 10-carbon length capric acid in a blended ratio of approximately 2 to 1. Glycerin removed in the initial extraction is returned and used to esterify the MCTs. The resulting oil is referred to as a “fatless fat” by scientists. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition released studies suggesting that small changes in the quality of fat intake can be useful to enhance dieting. This means ingesting high quality fats like pure MCT oil lieu of high fat unrefined coconut oil. Studies have shown that consumption of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) leads to greater energy expenditure than that of long-chain triglycerides. MCT consumption may be useful for weight management and MCT can be successfully included in a diet to promote fast weight loss.

Diet Doc offers only pure MCT oil, the only element found in regular coconut oil that produces fast weight loss, generating the maximum amount of ketones in the blood stream and facilitating excellent results. Diet Doc recommends utilizing their pure MCT oil in conjunction with their prescription hCG diet plans. Diet Doc physicians evaluate clients before custom designing an individualized nutrition plan for fast weight loss. This nutrition plan usually revolves around prescription hCG treatments to facilitate the best results, and often includes nutrition supplementation to balance dietary needs while on a low calorie hCG diet plan. Diet Doc recommends high quality MCT oil to anyone interested in losing weight without compromising health and nutrition.

Fat Burning Desserts Using Coconut Oil?

coconut oil desserts

Sounds too good to be true, right? Desserts that are deliciously high in fat, yet may actually help your body burn calories and body fat more efficiently by boosting your metabolism? Oh and it may even fight free radicals too. Where do I sign up?!

Well the ingredient surrounding so much hype, controversy and cooking versatility is virgin coconut oil. Sure, health benefit claims of coconut oil are not breaking news, but I’ve personally been buying this stuff in giant tubs lately – experimenting with all the wonderful vegan desserts that can be made using it – and so I’ve been very interested in revisiting what experts say on this coconut oil topic. Lets take a look at the expert feedback and a few dessert recipes you can make to inspire your possible fat-burning prowess!..

First off, what is coconut oil? We are talking about virgin coconut oil. Cold-pressed. Non-hydrogenated. Trans fat free. You can buy virgin coconut oil in either refined or unrefined varieties. the unrefined variety has a much stronger coconut flavor. You can find virgin coconut oil in many grocery stores – it may be stocked in the oils section or even the nutritional supplements section. You can also find it at nutrition stores like The Vitamin Shoppe – and online.

Coconut oil is solid – yet soft at room temperature. When it heats to over 75 degrees, it turns to a clear heavy liquid. When chilled, it becomes as firm as hard wax.

Coconut oil can be used in a very wide variety of recipes. It is especially popular in desserts – used as a butter or shortening substitute since it does the same “firm when chilled” effect. Raw and vegan cooks also love this stuff since it adds plenty of fat, texture and flavor – but has been essentially heralded a nutrition superhero by many experts.

Lets get to those experts and the fat-burning claims around this oil.

Many nutrition experts have gone on the record to say that indeed, coconut oil is not what it may appear if you glance at a nutrition label.

Let me explain. If you skim the virgin coconut oil label you will find a lot of fat. Not surprising. But 13g out of the 14g of fat per tablespoon are saturated. Bad, right? Well maybe not. Simply explained, the saturated fat in coconut oil is actually quite unique and possibly really good for you! Possibly even fat-burning!

Dr Mercola says this about it..

“It may be surprising for you to learn that the naturally occurring saturated fat in coconut oil is actually good for you and provides a number of profound health benefits, such as: Improving your heart health. Boosting your thyroid. Increasing your metabolism. Promoting a lean body and weight loss if needed. Supporting your immune system. Coconut oil even benefits your skin when applied topically and has been found to have anti-aging, regenerative effects.”

His reasoning, “Coconut oil is also nature’s richest source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs”

He continues to explain how MCT’s are easily digested by the liver and burned as fuel. And while eating too many calories of anything will contribute to weight gain, coconut oil as a whole food is actually beneficial to us – and may even help our bodies burn fat. He says, “MCTs actually boost your metabolism and help your body use fat for energy, as opposed to storing it, so it can actually help you become leaner.”

More good stuff about coconut oil: “Virgin coconut oil has an amazing ability to fight free-radical damage, presumably because it is rich in ferulic and p-coumaric acid. Consumed, this means these powerful antioxidants can fight free-radical damage and is now yet another tool in my wrinkle-busting arsenal. Applied topically, it has been shown to be useful in wound healing.” says Audrey Kunin MD on the DrOz.com website.

And there are critics as well, from The New York Times.. “There are a lot of claims that coconut oil may have health benefits, but there is no concrete scientific data yet to support this,” said Dr. Daniel Hwang, a research molecular biologist specializing in lauric acid at the Western Human Nutrition Research Center at the University of California, Davis. But, he added, “Coconut is good food, in moderation.”

Well in general, it all sounds too good to be true, right? Well, for now, I’m personally taking the “everything in moderation” stance on virgin coconut oil. And enjoying it in plenty of vegan recipes like no-bake dessert bars and cupcake frosting. You can get my Peanut Butter Fudge Coconut Oil Bars recipe on Healthy. Happy. Life.
