Coconut Oil + Starch = Weight Gain Or Weight Loss?

[Hgreen56]

- Coconut oil promotes weight loss (fat loss)
- Starch are fattening.

What happens when you mix these two together?
Someone has experience with this?

depends on how much starch you eat too

I have mixed coconut oil with rice, potatoes, bread for over 5 years.
i never used much starch. maybe 2 slices of bread a day. maybe 2 or 3 potatoes a day.

Never gained weight. ate about 50grams of coconut oil a day. 2 litres of milk a day. always been slightly underweight.

2-3 potatoes a day seems like a lot of starch, no?

but not in the context of an overrall diet

Starch creates an insulin response, since its devoid of fructose, unless it has alot of potasium, like potatoes. When insulin is signalled, all fat from a meal is pretty much synthesized onto the body. Fo weightloss do starch and no fat, or fat and no starch

Should obese patients be counselled to follow a low-glycaemic index diet? No. - PubMed - NCBI
"To conclude, there is no evidence at present that low-GI foods are superior to high-GI foods in regard to long-term body weight control. However, the ideal long-term study where ad libitum intake and fluctuations in body weight are permitted, and the diets are similar in all aspects except GI, has not yet been performed."

thanks guys.
i found this study
The High FAT Diet Vs The High Carb Diet. The Pukapuka And Tokelau Island Vs Japanese

so it looks like that starch + whatever fat you eat, (even though it's coconut oil) always leads to fat gain.
