: Burn Fat, Don't Store It - with Coconut Oil!
Burn Fat, Don't Store It - with Coconut Oil!

When most people hear coconut, they think "fat, fat, fat". But what you should think is "thin, thin, thin"!

The fat from coconut is different than most fats, and it can actually help you lose weight. Because of their small molecular size, the medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in coconut yield 25% fewer calories per gram than most other fats.

But this only taps the shell of the coconut story. What is even more important is that the fat in coconut oil is digested and metabolized differently than other fats.

When we eat fat, it is broken down into smaller bundles of protein and fat called lipoproteins. These lipoproteins are moved into the bloodstream and then shuttled directly into our fat cells. Unfortunately, it's almost always stored there, unless we're not eating enough to meet our body's energy needs.

But the fats from coconut are different. They don't get bundled into lipoproteins course through the bloodstream, seeking out a fat cell to make fatter.

Instead, they go right to the liver where they are used for energy, right then and there. Because of this, you can eat much more coconut oil than you can other oils without the same fat-storing consequences.

So make organic extra virgin coconut oil your "oil of choice" for Wellness Bakeries Chocolate Bliss Cake. It complements the rich chocolate flavor and buttery texture perfectly, a meltingly delicious delight you won’t soon forget.

Fight Fat... with Chocolate Cake!

Studies show that people who eat the most almonds have the slimmest waistlines. Not to mention that almonds contain blood sugar-balancing magnesium, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, more calcium than any other nut, and three times the antioxidant power of broccoli!

But what you’ll really go nuts for is the unforgettably moist texture and buttery flavor that 100% pure almond flour gives our Chocolate Bliss Cake. So stop dreaming and take a bite…
