coconut oil

[Guest guest]

Hi, all!

I have been a lurker on the list for a long time. I have read the many reminders

to read the articles for advice. I have read all the main articles many times. I

am working in New York City as a tour guide. The season is about to end, and I

want to stock up on coconut oil before returning to my home in upstate NY. I

have only recently begun on the program in earnest. I'm trying to wean myself

off carbs and sugar. As I am not home, I have only my phone to read mails and

have trouble accessing websites. I have a few questions, and I can't really

search the websites. So please excuse me for asking questions which might be

answered on the websites. Here goes-

1. I found unrefined coconut oil at whole foods. It's'by 365 organic. Is there a

better one I should be using, or is this ok?

2. Since beginning with coconut oil, which i rather like and tolerate pretty

well, i find that it can give me some acid in my throat after eating it, also I

find it burns a lot sometimes when I move my bowels. I don't mind it, but I am

wondering why this is happening and if this is good! Or does it mean I am doing

something wrong?

At this point, i am not worrying about ratios, and sometimes I think I am eating

too much beef! But I feel great and am more worried about getting the sugar and

carbs out of my diet-and have reduced significantly. my constipation is almost

gone now i have boosted the coconut oil, so i don't want to cut down on that.

I will be back home in about two weeks and will read up more at that time, and

calculate the ratios, but I want to know if thr oil I am using is OK because I

can search for other kinds while i am still here in the city. I am hoping to lay

in a good supply before I go, as it will save me a lot in postage.

Thanks for everything! Frances
