introduction

      You may have tried nearly every diet available. Or maybe this is the first time you’ve decided to lose weight. No matter what your needs or your successes or failures, you will be pleased to know that this is the diet that has worked for many people—when nothing else would! You won’t be disappointed by the Coconut Diet.

      Now, if you’re thinking you have to sprinkle coconut flakes on everything you eat, that’s not what this diet is about. Though the Coconut Diet does have a number of recipes that incorporate coconut milk or coconut flakes, the diet is about coconut oil. You can eat many of your favorite foods such as fish, chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, and vegetables prepared with coconut oil. You can even enjoy my Low-Carb Coconut Smoothie and still melt away the pounds!

      The secret ingredient that has promoted such phenomenal weight loss success for many people is the oil of the coconut. Coconut oil works wonders when combined with a low-carb diet because it is made up of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that burn up quickly in the body—a lot like kindling on a fire; this helps improve metabolism. And, there’s plenty of research to back up that statement in the pages that follow.

      Thousands of people have discovered the weight loss miracle of coconut oil added to a low-carbohydrate, lean-protein diet. Many of these people had tried various weight loss diets with little or no success. They were discouraged and disappointed. Then they added coconut oil—two to three tablespoons a day—to a healthy, low-carbohydrate diet and to their surprise—the weight came off without effort!

       The Diet that Works!

      With the exciting 21-day low-carb, coconut diet meal plan and dozens of scrumptious recipes, you are on your way to a new you. You can enjoy your favorite low-carb foods prepared with coconut oil. That’s all you have to do. Just think, you can eat great tasting food and lose weight!

      You’ll be amazed at how your food tastes prepared with coconut oil. It’s so delicious! But even more amazing—you’ll lose weight on food that tastes great.

      Does this sound too good to be true? You’ll hear from scores of people who have tried the Coconut Diet and lost weight. And they not only lost weight, they lost a host of health problems to boot!

      The Coconut Diet is fun, easy, delicious, and exciting. It’s exciting because it gets results without struggle or deprivation. Without cravings or climbing the kitchen wall. You’ll feel satisfied after eating. You’ll enjoy your food. And you’ll be smiling when you step on the bathroom scale.

      The Coconut Diet is one of the best-kept secrets of the tropics. Now it’s yours.

      You may be thinking, “Yikes! Coconut Oil! Isn’t that a saturated fat—something that could kill me in short order?” Let me reassure you that people eating traditional diets rich in coconut oil have lived for centuries free of many modern diseases, including obesity and heart disease that plague Western cultures. Coconut oil, and saturated fat in general, have gotten a bad rap. It all started with faulty studies decades ago. You can read more about that in Chapter Three.

      Right now, get ready to enjoy great-tasting food made with the best weight loss ingredient ever—coconut oil.

      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 regularly consume coconut oil as part of their diet are seldom overweight, and are generally free from many of the modern diseases that afflict Westerners. And, now you can experience the health and weight loss benefits, too.

       What Is the Coconut Diet?

      The Coconut Diet encourages the consumption of healthy fats, especially coconut oil, which has unique properties that increase the body’s metabolism leading to weight loss. It is predominantly low in carbohydrates that pack on weight such as refined grains, potatoes, sugars, desserts, and alcohol. The Coconut Diet is high in antioxidant-rich vegetables that help prevent disease. It doesn’t toss the carrots out with the potato chips because all carbohydrates are not created equal! You’ll learn which carbs are healthy and which are not.
