    Im a teenager and have been reading alot that it isn't very good to be SUPER picky on calories during your teen years or it could hurt your growth. I want to model so I can have money for a horse. I read somewhere that if you have three tablespoons of coconut oil a day it can help you loose weight? Is this myth or truth? If its true I'll add it to my schedule, my mom loves coconut oil for her skin and for her cooking. So we have tons of it!

    Your kiddin me right!!! Coconut oil. I have heard it is good for the hair..yeah...but for losing weight...haha that is downright a myth.
    Coconut oil is all saturated fat. WHich is bad for you..period!!!
    So If I were you I stop looking for shortcuts and stick to what works. That is the combination of a healthy diet and good exercise at least 4 to 5 times a week for 30min least. You wanna model you say. I assume that you are not fat to begin with then. SO why do you wanna lose weight. THe industry is changing in case if you have not heard. THey do not take in anorexic looking models no more. Paris was the first to start doing that and it is the fashion capital of the world.
    You are growing like you said, so eat lots of fruits and vegetables and lean meats. That will not only improve your health but your complexion and radiance of your skin. GOod Luck on getting your horse!!

    In all truthfullness, coconut oil is beneficial in various ways. Before highlighting its metabolic abilities, I'd like to point out several other benefits. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties and can fight infections such as a cold, bladder infections and athletes foot. Cultures that use it as a regular staple in their diets have demonstrated exquisite health and no symptoms of inflamation. High blood pressure, diabetes and poor cholesterol balance is also rare. Another benefit, these people are almost always...thin
    This heart healthy, saturated fat can be used to aid thyroid and kidney function.It increases the body's metabolism which results in weightloss. Yes, not only is it possible to lose weight with coconut oil, you will improve your health and gain an energy levels.I have been using the recommended 3 1/2 tablespoons daily for over a year.

    I highly recommend the book "The Coconut Oil Miracle" by Dr. Bruce Fife and look up this web site
