Skinny oils that turbocharge results

Enjoying more healthy fats switches the body into fat-burning mode—and cooking oils make it easy to get the benefits

BEST FOR BAKING

Replace the vegetable oil in baked goods with an equal amount of coconut oil. Its medium-chain fatty acids have been shown to increase calorie burn by 50 percent.

BEST FOR PAN FRYING

Try grass-fed beef tallow (ask for it at the butcher counter) in your frying pan. It has a subtle umami flavor and is rich in CLA, a healthy fat that helped women shed 20 percent of their fat in 90 days.

BEST ALL-AROUND OIL

Macadamia nut oil is great for everything from drizzling to sautéing. The buttery oil is rich in MUFAs, fatty acids that boost belly-fat burn by 20 percent.
