Coconut Milk Benefits Weight Loss – 8 Reasons To Add Coconut Milk To Your Diet

Having recently returned from the “land of coconuts”, as one Vietnamese local called it. It seems only right to have a conversation about coconuts.
It’s a taste you either love or hate. Personally, I love it. Excellent for those with dairy, lactose, soy, nuts or grain allergies or intolerances. Plus it’s vegan.
Now coconuts contain significant amounts of fats, but they are a good version, with plenty of medium chain saturated fatty acids (MCFAs). So eat in moderation, roughly ½ cup per day and remember it can be diluted with water to extend it further.
What are the benefits of coconut milk – Coconut Milk Benefits Weight Loss ?
A cup of coconut milk beverage from a carton has between 50 and 80 calories and about 5 grams of fat, depending on the brand you choose.
