RE: non virgin oil or louana

[Guest guest]

Anita,

Are you eating a lot of carbohydrates? Carbs plus fats will raise your

cholesterol and a lot of other bad things. If you can cut out virtually all but

22 grams of carbs for the next month or so, you'll lose weight and it will also

help with the cholesterol problem. I did that for about six months, lost 30

pounds, and felt better than I have in years.

daily and after only about 2 weeks, it is almost gone. i went to my

doctor yesterday and he said my cholesterol has risen quite a bit, and

i gained weight. i use 3-4 T. a day of louana coconut oil, so i have

been wondering could taking the oil internally have caused this? i am

eating lots of fruits and veggies, little to no meat of any kind, and

exercising, so i was very disappointed with this. i have been taking

the oil for health problems internally as well as on the skin, so i

was really concerned. i am hoping these results were there before

starting the oil. i have been taking the oil for about 3 weeks. i am

wondering (scared?) to keep taking this if it is going to cause me to

gain weight and to have higher cholesterol, as i a already have high

cholesterol numbers. that is one of the reasons i started the oil was

to lower it. but, it has helped resolve the chronic constipation i

have had for yrs. my main question though is the taking of louana

coconut as opposed to virgin coconut oil. any info will be much

appreciated. thanks. anita

Anita, can you be specific with us? What were your cholesterol numbers

before, and what are they now? Please tell us HDL, LDL and triglyc, not

just total cholesterol.

Thank you!

Nina

Hi Anita, since you seem to doing things correcty, how about further checking

into your thyroid. I am hypothyroid also and found that I was not metabolizing

fat and needed my thyroid medication checked for the right dose. If your

thyroid meds are not at the proper level, weight loss for those with

hypothryroid is slow. Maybe you can checkout one of the thyroid groups for

additional assistance.
