How to drink coconut oil for weight loss?

My neighbour was telling me about drinking coconut oil for weight loss. I'm a bit skeptical, but also want to try anything natural. How exactly do people do this, like what quantity and when?

Honestly, buying expensive extra virgin coconut oil every month is not practical for our budget. Better to spend that money on a thyroid and lipid profile test first to check your metabolism. If your health reports are fine, just normal home-cooked food in less local oil works great and is much cheaper.

In our traditional way, we believe in keeping the body light and clean. Instead of drinking oil, practicing gentle kapalbhati and having warm lemon water in the morning works beautifully. I have experienced that simple, fresh food is the best path to long-term health.

True, drinking raw oil sounds very tough and might cause loose motions too. I tried it once and it was not worth it.

Please be careful with these fat-drinking trends. I ignored my high cholesterol signs for years thinking home remedies would fix everything, and ended up in the hospital with severe blockage. Go to a doctor and get your blood report done before adding heavy oils to your routine.

Listen, please don't start drinking raw oil just because of some online trends. It can really upset your stomach and is quite heavy to digest. If you really want, just use a tiny teaspoon for cooking your breakfast, but keep it very simple and don't force yourself to drink it.

As someone working in health, I see many people coming with severe stomach issues after trying this. Coconut oil is highly saturated fat and can spike your cholesterol if not careful. Talk to a general practitioner or a registered clinical dietician before starting this as a daily habit.
