Coconut oil is a healthy weight loss ingredient. Not only does it boost metabolism and speed weight loss, there is evidence that suggests that adding a small amount of coconut oil into one’s daily diet can help lower cholesterol and improve conditions such as diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, Crohn’s, and other digestive disorders; enhance thyroid production; and increase overall energy. The Coconut Diet offers a 21-day weight loss program and includes a four-week cleansing regimen for readers who want more benefits. With meal plans and more that 70 recipes to help readers put the plan into action, as well as nutritional facts, tips for easy food preparation, ingredient explanation and many other creative details, you will learn how to start reaping the benefits of The Coconut Diet today.
Choose a Good Quality Coconut Oil
Not all coconut oil is the same. Some people have emailed me saying the coconut oil they bought tasted terrible, some said it tasted like soap, and they would never eat coconut oil again. Unfortunately, they did not purchase a good-quality organic, virgin coconut oil. There are coconut oil brands that say organic and virgin but are not processed in the best manner; therefore, they do not have the quality and taste of other coconut oils.
I’ve researched many different brands of coconut oil and have chosen one of the best brands on the market to make available for you.
The virgin coconut oil I recommend is an unrefined coconut oil. This coconut oil is made on Mt. Banahaw and surrounding areas from organic coconuts. Coconuts are used fresh (within 24-48 hours of harvest) from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines. Only the highest quality coconuts are hand-picked from each harvest. The volcanic soil of Mt. Banahaw makes these organic coconuts some of the most nutritionally rich coconuts in the world! Testing done in independent laboratories reveals higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils. The fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled), and then cold-pressed using the water from inside the coconuts to make coconut milk. The milk is then allowed to sit for about half a day, while the oil naturally separates from the heavier water. The oil is then filtered from the curds (coconut solids). No chemical or high-heat treatment is used, and this oil contains no trans fatty acids. This oil is not mass-produced. It is made by families who are coconut farmers using old-fashioned traditional methods that have been used in the Philippines for hundreds of years. The coconut trees and family producers are certified organic according to strict USDA standards. The families who produce the oil are also trained according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards and re-certified each year. Virgin Coconut Oil can only be achieved by using fresh coconut meat or what is called non-copra. Chemicals and high heating are not used in further refining, since the natural, pure coconut oil is very stable with a shelf life of several years. This high-grade Virgin Coconut Oil has a long shelf life due to the high antioxidant properties.

Cherie Calbom, in collaboration with her behavioral medicine specialist husband, John Calbom, has once again produced a scholarly and eminently useful book on nutrition and diet. Obesity is now epidemic in America and new ways of thinking and acting are required. As a physician and public health scientist, I have several patients who have not been able to lose weight on any kind of diet and who are now shedding pounds using the Coconut Diet. One woman has lost 50 pounds over the past six months! Good science, tasty food, and accessible writing make this a necessary cookbook for every kitchen in our obese society. I highly recommend it!

I've written quite a bit over the years about the countless advantages of coconut oil and its many health-promoting benefits. Cherie's easy-to-read book takes a closer look at the disease-fighting properties of coconut oil and provides you with pages of research and statistics on why coconut oil is one of the most misunderstood and overlooked foods of recent times. The Coconut Diet is a very practical read and does all the work for you by providing you with a 21-day weight-loss plan along with delicious recipes. The authors of this book, Cherie and John Calbom do a thorough job of showing the readers how they can enhance their lifestyles by offering them several tools such as quizzes to determine if they have diseases preventing their weight-loss success and in-depth shopping lists of the best foods to buy for the coconut diet. It is only with resources like this book that coconut oil is starting to get the respect it deserves as not only the healthiest oil you can consume, but as one of the most nutritious of all foods.
