I use this: Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I cook with it, use it for moisturizer on body and face and also just eat a spoonful a day. Also use coconut milk in my breakfast smoothie. Noticed a big difference in skin and energy level. I lost 40lbs since March and am keeping it off by using coconut oil. Will let you know my lipid numbers when I retake the blood test next week and hopefully will get off statins.
That’s impressive. I ought to try this as well. I’m not overweight, but I think I could do with such a supplementation.
I do everything you do with coconut oil except use it in smoothies. Hadn’t thought of that. I know people use young coconut in smoothies, but I haven’t been able to get any, but coconut oil, yeah, I got that.
I use very little oil in cooking (like none, most of the time), but generally choose coconut oil when I do use it. I don’t eat meat anymore, but lemme tell you, a nice chicken breast sauteed in coconut oil is just fantastic; wonderful aroma and taste. I still make chicken for my son this way.
He’s 33, still gets carded and the college girls around here think he’s one of them. I turned 57 recently and still don’t have a wrinkle. I can’t contribute it all to coconut oil, but good oils like avocado and coconut can help with a lot in the body and how the body looks.
For anyone who wishes to try your favorite, Nutiva, it’s available for order online at http://www.mynaturalmarket.com/coconut-oil.html?ad=gppc_omega_coconut_oil&gclid=CJHkusb-rKMCFQYBbAod5wqr6Q
As for the folks touting the product sold at Walmart, beware of processed coconut oils. They do NOT provide the nutritional benefits that virgin coconut oils do. Quite the opposite.
Are you using strictly the oil or are you doing the whole glycemic diet thing?
Just curious. I've just begun doing so, and have been reading on how coconut flour is better for you than the grain-based flours as long as you adjust for the lack of moisture when baking.
