Coconut oil has many benefits for bodybuilders.  It consists primarily of medium-chain fatty acids, which are metabolized and burned as fuel rather than stored as fat.  This is good news whether your goal is to gain lean muscle or burn body fat.  Coconut oil is easily digested and rapidly enters the cells of the body. Its end product helps to stimulate insulin production and helps keep the body in an anabolic state.  It should be understood that when a person works out, he/she may expend a lot of energy, making them vulnerable to insulin shortage. Post workout, it is crucial to drink a fast absorbing liquid to produce enough insulin to flush nutrients into the muscle cells.  For this reason, coconut oil is a perfect complement to blend with a simple carbohydrate-protein post workout shake. It releases quickly and improves digestion, which allows more of other nutrients to be absorbed. This will further muscle and strength gains, as well as recovery time.

When it comes to burning body fat, coconut oil revs up your metabolism even more than protein! It revs up the metabolism by stimulating the production of extra thyroid hormones. For fat loss, one of the better times to consume it is at dinner time. This will help stimulate the metabolism while you sleep.

Also, coconut oil enhances the immune system because of its amino acids and glutathione  (powerful antioxidant of the body) levels.

Additionally, coconut oil cooks well.  Try replacing your usual oil with coconut oil and enjoy the benefits of more lean muscle and less body fat.
