The Coconut Diet
Coconuts are a way of life for
millions of people around the world today in tropical climates.
Known as the "tree of life," the wonderful fruit of the coconut
palm is rich in specific fats that have incredible health
benefits. Traditional tropical populations that consume a lot of
coconut oil are seldom overweight, and traditionally have been free from
the modern diseases that afflict most western cultures.
The Coconut
Diet
picks up where traditional diets fail. Low-fat
diets don't work. The body needs a proper balance of good
fats, but in recent years traditional, healthy saturated fats
have been substituted with harmful transfatty acids in the US
food industry. We now know that these harmful transfatty
acids that are found in most vegetable oils are not the healthy oils
they were once thought to be, and they are considered one of
the major culprits in modern diseases and obesity. The Coconut DietTM replaces these highly refined harmful fats
with one of the healthiest fats known to mankind:
coconut oil.
The Coconut Diet is a not one
specific diet plan, but a way of life! Most diet plans
are temporary and tell you
exactly which foods to eat, how much to eat, how to count
calories or carbs, etc. Statistics prove that those starting diet plans are
usually doomed to failure before they even start, because while they
may temporarily lose weight on specific diet plans, they will
almost always regain that weight and more as soon as they stop
using the diet plan. Our goal here is to educate you on the
truth about how fats and oils affect your weight and health,
and give you the knowledge you need to make basic dietary
changes in your life that will give you optimal health, and
that should continue as long as you live. We have seen
traditional people in the tropics follow these dietary
principles and live very long, healthy lives with coconut oil
as the main dietary oil in their diet. The principles of The Coconut Diet
can be incorporated into any other major diet plan.

Theresa: This Diet Has Given Me Renewed
Energy and A New Life!
I have
been taking a tablespoon of coconut oil three times daily with
meals. Taking the oil with my meals seems to give me a “full
feeling” a lot faster. My sweet tooth has practically
vanished—and this is from someone who should have bought stock
in Hershey's long ago! Ironically, facilitating weight loss was
my main reason for trying the coconut oil diet, but with all the
wonderful benefits I am experiencing, the weight loss aspect
almost seems like an afterthought. About three days into the
routine, I had an energy rush on a Saturday morning that kept me
going until well after lunch. I can’t believe how much I got
done that day! My mental state of mind seemed to be much
sharper. I was able to focus on the tasks at hand without
getting sidetracked. I was not exhausted at the end of running
my errands, which included traipsing around a huge mall. It
seemed like I was practically running, rather than the leisurely
walking that was formerly my habit. In addition to my energy
level, my mood has been very stable—no up and down mood
swings—even with the onset of PMS! My husband commented
yesterday on how soft and silky my skin felt, and I have not
used any lotion since I started taking the oil. from
