Re: Weight and Coconut oil

[Guest guest]

Check the archives. Lots of posts from people who experienced

wedight loss. I lost about 90 pounds over two years. But not just

by adding coconut oil to a crap diet. I get rid of most all carbs, and

most all oils except for olive oil, coconut oil, animal fat and

butter.

Over the years I have met many people who are NOT grossly overweight

who want to lose more and more weight. This culture is obsessed with

women being scrawney.

Below is a comedy video entitles " A Fat Rant. " For the most part I

agree with it. However, when some supposed statistics are quoted

which say that most people who diet re-gain their weight within 3

years, that sure seems spurious to me. Diet has two definitions in

this culture.

a) diet is the food one eats to lose weight, which one then puts aside

when one has lost weight.

diet is what one eats 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for the rest

of one's life.

If one chooses a diet one can live with all the time, the weight does

not come back. I lost 90 pounds 3 years ago. This winter I gained

back 10 pounds because money was real tight and I could not afford all

of the foods I know are good for me.

I have been using coconut oil for about a month, I've lost 12 pounds so

far (a deck chair off the Titanic!). I have also changed the way I eat and

I'm just not hungry like I used to be. So far so good :-)

B...Lovin' my coconut oil!

, Happy you have lost 12 pds. How have you changed the way you eat? It

might help me and others to know that. Thanks Pat

I have cut down on carbs and most especially serving sizes. I weigh &

measure foods now and I can easily see how much *TOO MUCH* food I had been

eating before. I cut out grazing all day, every day and stick to 3 meals & 1

snack.

With coconut oil, I have more energy, so I move around a lot more than I

used to. Plus, I'm not as hungry, so it is easier for me to refuse the foods

that in the past I just stuffed into my mouth without even thinking. I love

the taste of coconut oil in my morning oatmeal and I'm always trying to find

foods that I can put it in so I can have 2 servings of VCO a day. IMHO, it

is awful in coffee, chili and by the spoonful out of the jar. But I love it

in tomato rice soup, mixed with peanut butter (to eat with celery, banana or

crackers) and in oatmeal. If anyone has more suggestion as to how to get the

VCO in, I'd love to hear them.

I have joined OA (a 12 step program for compulsive overeaters). Every

day I decide what I will eat, write it all down and call another OA member &

tell it to her. I haven't told her about the coconut oil, though. I wanted

to see how it worked first ;-) Having someone to be accountable to makes a

big difference to me. I am making a commitment to eat exactly as I've

planned. It is really easier to plan ahead because the decisions are all

made for the day & I don't need to think about it again. I just follow what

I've committed to. BTW, I am FAR from perfect in doing this. It's a learning

process. I have days when I mess up big time. My goals are to learn how to

eat normal portions and how to NOT eat continuously all day.

I have not arrived (as I said, I've lost a deck chair...) But I am

beginning to finally change my eating habits and take better care of myself.

And the weight less has begun :-)

I'm still waiting for the softer skin & hair from VCO. But so far, so

good. I'm very happy with VCO and I'm going to keep eating it!

Blessings!

Hi ,

Good for you! I'm not trying to be too personal, but do you have a lot of

weight to lose? I have about 50 pounds to lose and am trying to learn as

much as I can about adding coconut oil to my diet and changing the way I eat

in general.

Thanks and keep up the good work,

Chris

Here's what I love and everyone will probably cringe. Warm whole grain toast,

with lots of VCO then topped with Nutella. OMG, if you love chocolate, like I

do.....

I also spread VCO on crackers, top with a very small amount of nice

extra extra sharp Vt Cheddah and it is delish!!! I also make my own

nut butter with tonbs of oil in it - spread the cracker with VCO and

then the nut butter - makes a great and easy snack.

I also use that nutbutter on my toast and celery. And of course the

chocolate candy!!! I put in on all my veggies too, especially good on

corn on the cob.

I cut winter squash in slices, sprinkled VCO over them, then some

pumpkin spice - baked at 45 for about 15 min. then a little bit more

VCO, some honey and a little bit on sea salt - fantastic!!!! I served

it to family members and they also loved it.

I love it

I'm not sure if these food ideas have been mentioned because I

haven't been reading all the posts but I love to use my VCO on brown

rice.

My favorite for breakfast is an Ezekial english muffin spread with

VCO and cruncy peanut butter - yummm - love it. I also pop popcorn

in it.

I read somewhere about drizzling it over popped popcorn but I haven't

tried that yet.

I use about a Tbl of VCO with a a little butter in the frying pan to sautee

mushrooms and onions on high heat. I than add chunks of imitation crab (chicken,

shrimp or whatever you like) and sautee until done. It's a clean, tropical taste

that I just LOVE! Maureen

I try to get in 2-3 Tbsp. a day. There are a lot of ideas of foods to

put it in from the past 4 days of posts. I just keep trying it in different

things to see how I like it. Other people will like it in things I don't &

vice/ versa. I LOVE it in my oatmeal (with cinnamon).

Don't you mind the extra weight it puts on you ?. As good as some of the

benifits are (noticably softer hair and longer nails and improved skin), I hate

the extra weight it has given me.

You are eating too many calories. With the coconut oil total

calories should be about 2000. I take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil

20 minutes before I eat. Then when you do eat your meal you will not

eat as much because you get full fast. So that is 600 calories of

just the oil and about 1400 calories of nutrient dense whole foods.

It's not putting extra weight on me. I have lost 12 lbs since I started

it a little over a month ago. I am very over weight to begin with. Maybe, if

you don't need to lose weight, you don't. Maybe our bodies do with the VCO

what we need. I can't explain it, don't understand it...but I'm happy with

all the results of using VCO at this point. :-)

, if coconut oil is putting weight on you, then you must be

doing something else that's interfering with the CO.

I've been taking it since January, and I'm down over 30 lbs.

I have never read anything about CO causing weight GAIN, only weight

LOSS.

Try to analyze what else you're doing that might be causing the

weight gain. Are you still consuming trans fats, also known as

hydrogenated vegetable oil? Are you eating foods with High Fructose

Corn Syrup in it? How about artificial sweeteners? These are all

things that could be affecting your weight.

Something to think about, anyway, and maybe look into.
