How do those vitamin supplements help ith weight loss Amber? |
Oh, that's sweet, but I'm sure you look great. Anyway - about the suppliments - they just do!
Ha, no, the coconut oil is the most healthful oil, and you need fat to process fat. Something about it being a medium chain lipid and some other factors make it good for you. It also has antibacterial and other properties. There was a girl actually on here (and I've read other stories) who went on the coconut diet, and she lost 30 lbs she didn't know she had to lose, her skin cleared up, and many more health benefits. It's practically magical, look it up online!
Flaxseed Oil/fish Oil is important for a similar, though not identical reason - They contain Omega 3 fatty acids in addition to the Omega 6 that is the fat in every other food we eat. Except walnuts, they have Omega 3, too. Anyway, you need the Omega 3 for various important body functions, but the weight loss comes in because you can't efficiently process the Omega 6 fats from everything else without the Omega 3. In general, you should be trying to get as high of a percentage of your fat as possible from "good fats" anyway.
Calcium - I don't know why, just needed in the process, it's one of those "studies have shown, and me and all my friends, too, that calcium helps with weight loss"
