Re: Weight and Coconut oil

[Guest guest]

, 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.

Actually, I haven't made any other changes. I eat a raw food diet, I work out,

I teach yoga, these are all things I've done for years. I've added the C.O,

more for the energy, than anything else. I bought a very good quality, organic

V.C, but aside from the small changes in the hair, skin and nails, the only

other thing it offered me was extra weight. Which struck me as odd too, because

everything I've ever read about it, says it should help you lose it if anything.

That was enough for me to stop taking it. Although I'm not over weight now, I

really didn't want the extra pounds. lol. Strange tho. that it did that to me,

but I've only heard of a handful of other people who put on weight while on it,

and the majority seems to lose.

Lucky you, I wish it did that for me. I would love to keep taking it because it

did have some benifits, but I just don't want any extra weight on me. .

I wonder.. I only eat around 1900 calories a day tho. Mind you, I was taking 3

tablespoons of the VCO. I wonder if that was just too much?.

I eat about 2200 calories a day. I am close to 63 years old, don't

do a lot of strenuous work or exercise (other than grocery shopping

once every 2 weeks), 6 feet tall, 180 pounds. I use 2-3 tablespoons

of vco per day.

Well, I guess, , you're one of the " one-in-a-million " for

whom CO has the opposite effect of everyone else. Perhaps it's

because you're already eating a healthy diet, so there isn't

anything to " correct, " like in other people. Who knows?

And maybe it was only a temporary effect. Maybe, after awhile, it

would stop doing that. Again, who knows?

If you're interested in something helping with energy, have you

checked out the benefits of vitamin B-12? I've always heard it's

supposed to help give people extra energy. I haven't tried it, so I

don't know how true it is. Maybe that might work for you. Maybe

look into that.

Usually, 3 tbsps is the recommended dosage. But, maybe in your

case, it was too much. Maybe you could try again with only 1 or 2

tbsps and see what happens.

Exactly which brand of Oil did you buy...there are quite a few out there

that claim they are VCO, but really do use a lot of methods that are not

that good.

I noticed a big difference with the Viviendo Oil versus TT's oil - my

metabolism increased more with the Viviendo.

I had bought some Spectrum oil at the HFS some years back, I gained weight

too. But now I seem to be losing slowly.

I have found Nutiva brand VCO to be pretty good for me.

You're right, SeaLady, about there being so many different kinds of

VCO, and some of the lesser-quality versions don't work the same way

as the " good " stuff.

The kind you preferably want, provided you can afford the higher

price, is the organically-grown, non-GMO, cold-pressed Virgin

Coconut Oil. The Nutiva brand I have been getting, lately, from

Whole Foods, fits those qualifications.

The versions that are not so great for you, are the expeller-

pressed, and definitely the RBD versions, which stands for Refined,

Bleached, and Deodorized. Those are usually used just as cooking

oils, especially for people who don't like the taste of coconut.

I have also heard Viviendo's oil is one of the best you can take.

I think Spectrum is one of the brands that makes the RBD version,

which is still ok, but won't help to raise metabolism like you need

to help with weight loss.

So check what kind of oil you were taking that caused you to gain

weight. And maybe, if you can get some of the Viviendo oil, or even

the Nutiva brand I've got, it will work better for you.

Cryss:

I just had a comment about something you said below here. The RBD version of the

Coconut Oil, while not preferable to use, will STILL raise your Metabolism and

give you all the same benefits as the good oil.

Apparently all the refining does not change that.
