a miracle...
Over the last 20 years I have been steadily and gradually gaining weight. You couldn't call me fat - but there I was, just too wobbly in all the wrong places. This year I decided to do something about it - finally. I went on a fruit diet. Nothing happened. I tried the cabbage soup diet (without the meat). Nothing happened. I Fasted for a week. NOTHING HAPPENED!
That was when this book came into my hands - a godsend. I stoipped fasting and began eating food again, but using coconut oil. After a few days I weighed myself - I had lost 5 pounds!
Since then I have lost a total of 24 pounds, and still losing steadily at about a pound a week, enjoying full meals.
The thing is, and this is what this book addresses, we all know that losing weight is not JUST a matter of calories. Soem of us have a very slow metabolism - and that was always my problem. I was never an overeater - but my body simply did not burn what I ate.
Once you start the coconut oil everything changes. You can literally feel it working. I was very low energy, rather lazy. I didn't like much movement - my favourite occupation was sitting on a couch reading a book. Coconut oil is the only oil that does not deposit on the body as fat, but immediately transforms into energy, and you can feel it. Yesterday I cleaned my ouse from top to bottom - and thenergy just keeps me going al the time. Also, coconut oil actualluy changes your taste - it satusfies you so you no longer even feel hungry between meals. A vegetable soup, cooked with the oil, keeps me goimg til the evening.
By the way, if you believe that coconut oil is bad for you - which is just a very bad rumour set into motion by the mighty soy industry - then forget it. This book explains why the world has been misimformed and it will make you very angry indeed.
Pacific islanders have been using this oil as a staple for centuries and heart disease was unknowm there until they switched to an unhealthy Western diet; and enjoyed general robust health, with obesity, cancer etc unknown. I believe, like Bruice Fife, that coconut oil is truly a miracle food.

Bruce Fife is a saint!
I am one of many women who are dealing with gaining weight over the years and not being able to lose it. After my fourth child I couldn't shed the wopping 50 lbs. I gained. I was able to lose about half of it and the last 25 lbs. fought me to the nail. People would tell me thats just the way it is as you get older and to just live with being a little softer to the touch. Well, being a marathon runner and an advid exerciser I couldn't resign to the fact that my body was meant to gain weight solely on the fact that I had entered my thirties.
Bruce Fife is a genious in being able to explain what is really happening with our Western Industrialize bodies. He has done the research for us. All I have done is applied his knowledge and the use of virgin coconut oil in my life and the pounds have slowly melted off. In 2 months I've lost 12 lbs. and I know I will finally be at a weight that supports my life style. I recommend reading his other books. Thank you Mr. Fife!

A Real Wake Up Call!!
"Eat Fat, Look Thin" by Dr. Bruce Fife is an excellent book that explains exactly why you don't want to consume polyunsaturated oils like soy, canola, cottonseed, corn, and why you are risking your health if you do. Dr. Fife also explains the dangers of eating any soy that is not fermented. The book also explains the benefits of coconut and coconut oil and other healthy fats that your system needs to function properly.

After reading the book I dumped out all of my junk food and processed foods and started taking virgin coconut oil and eating only natural whole foods (mostly organic). Both my husband and I are losing weight and feel so much better!

This book is for anyone that is seriously interested in their health! Dr. Fife's book is based on the research of Dr. Weston A. Price (see www.westonaprice.org). I first checked it out from the library and read it. It was so good that I wanted my own copy for reference.
