A member asked:
Is it true coconut oil can boost our metabolism? when is the best time to eat coconut oil?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not so: Anything that increases heart rate increases metabolic rate, including physical activity (best), exercise. Pilks, potions, drugs including caffeine-like drugs, green tea, coffee, yerba mate, amphetamines, Cocaine all increase metabolic rate and can affect weight loss. I recommend activity.

No: Your metabolism depends on your age, gender, proportion of muscle, hereditary factors, and thyroid status; not coconut oil.
