- malfist 5y agoYou'll feel a difference because coconut has a high amount of MCT (medium chain triglycerides). MCT is often touted as a weightloss tool, I've seen plenty of posts talking about pigs not getting fat on MCT, or how it takes more calories to break it apart (which is bullshit) or it some how raises your body temp/metabolism. The truth is that our stomach has a hard time digesting a sudden influx of MCT. Adding a large amount of MCT to a diet previously free of MCT will cause nausea. And that short term nausea is largely the cause of any "weightloss" seen by MCT. The studies that study MCT and show weightloss are all short term studies, and not the 6-12 month study you really need for weightloss. In short, you'll feel a difference because coconut oil upsets your stomach. Not because it's a non-animal fat. Hell, we use sesame, peanut, canola, and olive oils all the time. Replace all your dietary fat with canola oil or olive oil and you'll not notice. Will probably have health benefits because of the reduction in saturated fats.
