Coconut Oil Can Kill Your Hunger, Making You Eat Less Without Even TryingMan Drinking From CoconutOne interesting feature of coconut oil is that it can reduce your hunger.This may be related to the way the fatty acids in it are metabolized, because ketone bodies can have an appetite reducing effect (11).In one study, varying amounts of medium and long chain triglycerides were fed to 6 healthy men.The men eating the most MCTs ate 256 fewer calories per day, on average (12).Another study in 14 healthy men discovered that those who ate the most MCTs at breakfast ate significantly fewer calories at lunch (13).These studies were small and only done for a short period of time. If this effect were to persist over the long term, it could have a dramatic influence on body weight over a period of several years.Bottom Line: The fatty acids in coconut oil can significantly reduce appetite, which may positively affect body weight over the long term.6. The Fatty Acids in Coconut Oil Are Turned into Ketones, Which Can Reduce SeizuresOpen CoconutA so-called ketogenic (very low carb, very high fat) diet is currrently being studied to treat various disorders.The best known therapeutic application of this diet is treating drug-resistant epilepsy in children (14).This diet involves eating very little carbohydrates and large amounts of fat, leading to greatly increased concentrations of ketone bodies in the blood.For some reason, this diet can dramatically reduce the rate of seizures in epileptic children, even those who haven’t had success with multiple different types of drugs.Because the MCTs in coconut oil get shipped to the liver and turned into ketone bodies, they are often used in epileptic patients to induce ketosis while allowing for a bit more carbs in the diet (15, 16).</blockquote>
