2. Helps in Weight Loss

Coconut oil is almost wholly made up of a chain of fatty acids. The chain of fatty acids gets metabolized and converted into energy and ketone bodies by the liver. Energy is created by burning the fat while the ketone bodies, produced by the liver, helps to reduce appetite that leads to eating less and ultimate reduction of weight. It is especially useful for reducing the visceral fat or the fat around the abdomen that can lead to diabetes.
