1. Coconuts Fight Fat - Sri Lanka

You may have heard that coconut oil is a great way to slim  your waist. Well the people of Sri Lanka figured this one  out way before the rest of the world. It is reported that  the average Sri Lankan eats about 116 coconuts per year,  and they are half as likely as the average American  to pack on the pounds. The reason is that coconut oil  is packed with medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that  stimulate the liver to burn fat 50 percent faster than normal.  Try having about two tablespoons of coconut oil daily  (in your cooking) and you could shed up to three pounds a month!
