The Lowdown on Coconut Oil in Ketogenic Diet
Popular diets come and go pretty quickly. But here’s one that’s been around for long and looks like it’s going to stay because of its growing number of weight loss testimonials and avid practitioners – the KETOGENIC diet. Last October 26, in a forum at the Oracle Hotel in Katipunan, Quezon City, experts gave us the lowdown on ketogenic diet and the role of coconut oil in making it work. This was made possible by Minola Premium Coconut Oil.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, right-protein, and low-carbohydrate diet that forces fats to be burned instead of carbohydrates. Ketone bodies are formed and become the source of energy. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood develops, a state known as ketosis.
