This week the Mail Online featured an article suggesting Victoria Secrets model and uber-hot chick Miranda Kerr’s secret to jaw-dropping hotness was eating fat.
BOOM! What the hell?! An uber-chick with jaw-dropping beauty scoffs fat?! Surely not.
HOLD THE PHONE. This just got interesting….
Not just ANY fat. Coconut Oil. [Cue hordes of women looting Holland & Barrett in search of this nutritious wonder…]
BUT hold up, this must be crap right. Like all the things these freakishly hot chicks say, it must be nonsense.
It would appear not.
Unlike wrapping yourself up in cling film, using vibrating dumbbells or even the most ridiculous myth of all doing sit-ups for a flat stomach (wow! That’s controversial…) eating coconut oil is indeed the cats’ pyjamas when it comes to getting in shape.
And I didn’t want to say I told you so, BUT… I wrote this back in November 2009. http://stevekeywoodspersonaltraining.blogspot.com/2009/10/coconut-oil.html
Suddenly when a super-model mentions it in an interview you girls sit up and listen.
To quote Miranda Kerr, ‘I will not go a day without coconut oil. I personally take four tablespoons a day, either on my salad, in my cooking or in my cups of green tea.’
I think I love her.
Extracted from the flesh of mature coconuts, coconut oil can be eaten raw, used in cooking (particularly good as it has a high smoke point which prevents oxidation...) or even applied directly to the skin.
And don’t be put off by idiots who say it’s a saturated fat beware. They truly are thick. (I will elaborate on this another time..)
Consuming coconut oil (and other healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, and fish oils) can elevate your metabolism and speed up fat-loss.
They also have important functions in terms of cellular health and satiety (the feeling of satisfaction you get after a meal – its no wonder fat free diets make you hungry and miserable!!)
…anyway I seem to of gone of track.
Coconut oil WILL (as part of a healthy, clean and nutritious diet) make you seriously hot just like Miranda Kerr, which I think is a good thing.
