Why Drink Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Why Drink Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
The idea behind drinking olive oil to lose weight may have come from the Shangri-La Diet developed by Dr. Seth Roberts. His weight-loss theory is that you can reset your appetite “set point” by eating a diet filled with bland foods, along with ingesting 1 to 2 tablespoons of a bland oil, such as extra light olive oil, a day. His belief is that filling your diet with bland foods decreases your desire to eat and helps you lose weight. However, according to the website Diets in Review, the evidence to support Dr. Roberts’ theory is based on experiments he conducted on himself.
It’s important to note that the flavor of extra virgin olive oil varies depending on type. Based on the theory developed by Dr. Roberts, you would drink a light or delicate extra virgin olive oil or the extra light olive oil, which has a bland flavor.
