Effects
The beneficial effects of coconut oil are due to the medium-chain fatty acids it contains, instead of long-chain fatty acids. A study found that eating 1 to 2 tablespoons of medium chain fats, such as coconut oil, per day increased energy expenditure by 5%, which totals to 120 calories daily for an average person.
Namely, medium chain fatty acids are quickly used for energy a soon they enter the body, which significantly boosts the metabolism.
