In tropical cultures where coconut is often a staple in the diet and traditional foods the local fare, one can find a preponderance of healthy, trim people, even though their diet is high in calories and fat-particularly saturated fat from 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.
With the coconut diet you’ll consume up to four tablespoons of coconut oil each day. This will eliminate the need for fattening polyunsaturated and trans-fat oils. You can incorporate the coconut oil in healthy shakes, salads and foods rich in fiber and protein. The coconut diet acts as a great supplement to popular low-carb diets.
