Does coconut oil make you lose weight?

My mom just showed me this Asian tv show about losing weight and this one girl prob I'm her mid 20s lost like 10-20 pounds by adding coconut oil into her foods when cooking. Is this fake? I mean there were pictures and I heard its really good for you. BtwI'm talking about like organic coconut oil. I want to lose pounds really fast because I don't lose weight quick unless I burn 1000 calories a day but that's too much for me so I'm thinking about buying coconut oil.

Recommended Answer:

Extra virgin coconut oil is an amazing fat source. Don't listen to the guy that said that its "bad" because its saturated. Fat is not bad. Your body needs fat. When fat is unsaturated that means that it oxidizes more easily and releases free radicals in your body. I would not cook with coconut oil. I would eat it straight. Make sure its organic as well.As far as loosing weight its not a secret. Get rid of the junk food (chips, pop, etc.) and start exercising.

• No, there is a lot of saturated fat in coconut oil. Avocados are a much better weight loss food.http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eating/avocado-health-benefits-3-reasons-you-should-be-eating-them.html
