The fatty acids contained in coconut oil can significantly reduce appetite (read, reduce your hunger pangs), which may affect daily caloric intake, thereby positively affect body weight, over the long term.This property may be related to the manner in which the fatty acids in coconut oils are metabolized.In one study, varying amounts of medium and long chain triglycerides were fed to 6 healthy men.The men eating the most MCTs ate 256 fewer calories per day, on average. Another study in 14 healthy men discovered that those who ate the most MCTs at breakfast ate significantly fewer calories at lunch.
