To lose our weight we generally opt for physical exercise and healthy diet. These are the two common key factors that include weight loss. When it comes to healthy eating, what matters is not just what you eat in your meal but also how you consume it. The oil you use to cook your meal should also be healthy for your body.
In  India, the common oil used is coconut oil. Many people may or may not like the taste of the oil in their food but it is healthier than other cooking oils. Researchers conducted over the years have shown that coconut oil can help in losing body weight.
Here's how coconut oil helps in your weight loss regime.

Coconut oil is described as a ''thermogenic'' food, which means the energy expenditure increases when you consume it. Thus it helps to burn more fat. This promotes weight loss. One of the common ways of losing weight is by reducing food intake. According to website naturallivingideas.com, coconut oil contains medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) lauric acid. The human body does not store MCTs as fat. Instead, it transports them to the liver, where it is transformed into energy. The MCTs form keytone bodies, which help reduce hunger cravings, helping one lose weight.
Consumption of coconut oil also helps reduce abdominal fat. This kind of fat is one of the signs of cardiac risk.
