Can coconut oil help with weight loss? I know it has many benefits but is weight loss one of them? I read some reviews of people saying that they lost weight either just eating the coconut oil or taking the coconut oil capsules. Im just curious. I understand that i will have to exercise and diet and i am definetly dedicated to my exercise now but i need all the help i can get.

People need to move away from this idea that any food "aids in weight loss" or has weight loss as a "benefit" of eating that food.

Food is food. Some food is healthier than others. Eating healthier foods will make it easier to lose weight because you're providing your body with the proper nutrients. But here is no food that provides any kind of magic bullet benefit.

You will not lose weight faster if you eat coconut oil, or acai berry, or grapefruit, or any other food.

Use coconut oil for it's benefits - which are many - but don't use it because you expect it to give you an "edge" to weight loss.

I know coconut milk is very high in sat fat. Is coconut oil the same?
