Next "NEW" thing...

So just a short note about what I predict to be the next 'new' thing/fad/craze in the health & fitness arena...
Coconut Oil.

I have been using coconut oil for some time now (months) and many people I know and trust have been doing it for awhile (years in some cases).
Basically coconut oil is a Medium Chain Triglyceride that is great for energy metabolism and weight control. In addition it has none of the negative side effects of other saturated fats.
Numerous studies have found increased endurance capacity, increased weight loss, and increased basal metabolic rate (by up to 500 cal/day) with the addition of coconut oil to a regular diet. While the studies have been on primarily non-human mammals, there are quite a few that have been done on humans with the same results.

I will post a complete list of all the studies I have found here in the next few days to week.

Have a great sunny rest of your week,
