by Bruce Fife, ND
Author Bruce Fife has made an excellent contribution to the weight loss arena by exposing the misinformation around fat, cholosterol, and helping to raise awareness about medium chain triglycerides (MCT), especially from coconut oil. Learn how to eat rich, delicious foods and lose weight, and why low-fat diets don't work.
From the book: ''The low calorie content of coconut oil isn't the main reason for its reputation as an aid in weight-loss. Most fats, after digestion, circulate in the bloodstream contributing fat to our fat cells. MCT in coconut oil, however, do not. They are used by the body as an immediate source of fuel and, therefore, do not circulate in the bloodstream like other fats. They produce energy, not body fat. The combined results from several studies have shown that when people switch from using ordinary fats, such as soybean and corn oils, to using a MCT oil they can lose up to 12 to 36 pounds a year even when total calorie consumption remains the same.''
Also included are several diet plans to match to your specific weight-loss goals. 208 pages, softcover
