Coconut Oil Questions

Found a really neat site with information on coconut oil

I felt so weird eating a couple of spoonfuls. felt like I was eating lard to something. Well it was a little tastier than that.

Yeah I couldnt get into the flavor. Maybe sweetening it up. My husband tried it in coffee. He didnt seem to like it much. He has some skin irritation so I told him to try it.

Im going to have to be more creative. Def not craving it yet. haha

Coconut Oil Health Benefits

So how are people using coconut oil? What are some of the health benefits of coconut oil being reported? Some of the most recent research has come from people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, with reports of people improving or even reversing the effects of Alzheimer’s by using coconut oil. Alzheimer’s is now seen as a type 3 form of diabetes, and for years we have seen positive results from people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in using coconut oil. We have also seen a lot of reports of coconut oil health benefits from those suffering from hypothryroidism, as coconut oil helps boost metabolism and raise body temperatures to promote thyroid health. Restricting carbohydrates and increasing coconut oil in the diet has also led many to report losing weight with coconut oil. Candida sufferers also report health benefits with coconut oil as research now confirms, and those suffering from various skin diseases are also seeing tremendous health benefits by applying coconut oil directly on the skin. The benefits of coconut oil for healthy hair are also well known, and other healthy benefits of coconut oil included fighting off bacterial infections and viruses. Coconut oil is also increasingly being seen to benefit athletes and fitness trainers giving them an advantage in sustaining energy levels longer without drugs or stimulants.

Some people add it to eggs. I like it in oatmeal or tea. I can't really eat it off the spoon anymore. I moisturize with it, too. It helps get rid of wrinkles and gives the skin a nice sheen :)

I fry with it, use it on skin, and to replace vegetable/canola oil in baked goods. I also melt a little with some grass fed butter over steamed veggies or mashed potatoes, and sprinkle garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, and flax seed.

I've never tried just eating it, though...not sure I could handle that...:)

I just eat it with a spoon - I seem to be an exception, but I like it. It's not the kind of fat that sticks to your mouth.

There are 2 kind of coconut oils: the one you can use to fry in like for preparing French fries - it has been deodorised. French fries prepared in coconut oil are really nice, much lighter to digest.

Then there is the high quality coconut oil, extra virgin. You can use it for cooking too, but also for your skin. That's the one I use to eat. This one is obviously much more expensive.

I prefer to buy both organic...

I'm with you Marie...I just go for it and eat it alone lol! It's good for killing fungus too!

My husband complained that I slipped coconut oil into his mashed potatoes. haha I will have to use less next time.

I love my coconut oil. You can use it in your hair as a pre-treatment before you wash it and it makes your hair conditioned and soft. It has antifungal properties and helps with dandruff. It helps with yeast as you know. The high fat content is a healthy fat so no worries there, you need that fat. Enjoy you coconut oil!

Hi barngurl! I am ok thank you so much! I am doing better and I have been working on my relationship problems with my boyfriend. He is living at his home but we are getting along better for now and he has become such a positive support for me. He is being much more helpful. The break-up helped us both to make changes. I am feeling like I can get better and have hope with my doctor in NH. I hope you are doing good! :) I love coconut oil and it has so many uses! this was a good post.....
