oh sara, you MUST get you some raw virgin coconut oil!!!!

i read SO MUCH on it when i started having yeast issues, lisa's posts are excellent. i can't wait to be using it PP, because i really believe it will help with weightloss - 1st, because the good fat helps keep you satisfied so you are less likely to reach for refined carbs etc, and 2nd, because it can really affect your mood and energy (which of course is a huge componant of weight loss/healthy eating).

i personally don't care for it in smoothies - IMO it makes them chunky.

i honestly don't mind it right off the spoon, i take it the same way i take my CLO.

i have yet to use in in baking (because i haven't benn doing any baking, lol) but i'm sure it would be good. the info i read said you can eat up to 3 T. of the stuff per day, but be sure to increase gradually.

another good way to eat it is the "candy" i posted on crystals thread.

because of this yeast issue i have, i've been having to cut out refined sugars and refined carbs - and i've been eating TONS of good fats - coconut oil, CLO, salmon, butter, full fat yogurt, etc - and my weight has actually been holding steady, even as my baby grows bigger. i'm convinced that it's because of the good fats/eliminating junk. i am taking in more calories but i think the "bad fat" on my body is starting to go away. and oh! the way it makes your skin feel!!!!

try it again for awhile.
