Low Carb Food #8: Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is often lauded for its health benefits and is thought to be able to help with the health of the brain and conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. This is partly down to the fact that it helps to induce ketosis, which helps provide a source of energy to the brain other than those from carbohydrates. This ability to induce ketosis is great for people on a low carb, ketosis diet because achieving ketosis is the aim.
Coconut oil contains no carbs itself and is also a healthy option for frying because it produces no free radicals when heated. What’s more is that it smells great and tastes great and can help you create something quite different in the kitchen.
