Taking olive oil for weight loss

[OnHerSolidFoundations]

Has anyone done this?
Has it helped?

I just take a couple of teaspoons as i do sometimes cook with it also. I read it helps with joints and as I have stiff/ painful joints thought it might help with this too.

A shot is 25-50ml. That's 206-412 calories. That's an insane amount!!

Yeah I mean this is a bit like the old wives tales of ye old yonder years. I’m sure it’s not going to actively harm you apart from pointless extra calories but there are so many other ways you can improve health and lose weight. It wasn’t long ago everyone was drinking apple cider vinegar and starving themselves silly. Starving yourself and drinking oil instead is not a balanced diet. The risks of this is your muscles and bone density - not things you want to exchange for losing fat as you get older

Just eat a balanced diet with small portions of oil included if you want to get the small benefits it offers. Are you very young, a teenager?

@Babyroobs yes was thinking of my joints here too 👍

Alright calm down love 😊

Fat slows down digestion so it would do the opposite if anything

I drink a shot of it every morning. A table spoon with turmeric, black pepper and lemon juice. My mum and grandmother both did it and I took it up a few years ago.

Ive lost a lot of weight, but I wouldn’t put it down to that.

The patient I saw who had bulletproof coffee had pushed their cholesterol to 13.5.

It has good nutrients in it, but in and of itself its not going to 'help' weight loss

A table spoon is about 130cals and 15g of fat, if you're calorie and fat counting obviously this will take up some of your cals

Probably better to incorporate it somewhere into your meals.

How's the weight loss going op?
