I don't do well with rice, even brown rice...I get hungry 1/2 hr after I eat it.

Don't eat whole corn much, maybe once a month if that. Potatoes...are the

mainstay of the " sugar Addicts " food program, but I stopped using them in April.

The past several days I've had bean salad, the dressing has sugar in it. But,

that's the first sugar load I've had in a very long time. I don't think I feel

any worse with it than without it, but, I know there is no nutrition in it, and

I really need to be sure what I put energy into digesting will at least

contribute something rather than take away from what little reserve I have.

It's becoming a chore just to want to eat some days...too hard to think of

something to fix. I'm all about simple meals. We have gardens, a nice crop of

lettuce, but when it's plentiful in the summer, I don't seem to care much for

it. It's in the winter time I crave salads.

Have to drag myself out for a graduation open house...must get going. Super low

energy day

I betcha that when you add three to four tablespoons of virgin coconut oil

to your diet daily, you will feel less hungry and find a difference in your

energy level and brain function.

Read the research at _www.tropicaltraditions.com_

(http://www.tropicaltraditions.com)

I incorporate virgin coconut oil it into the foods I eat and also at the

recommendation of U of MI docs when I was a teen, I use it on my skin and hair

where it is also absorbed.

A nice snack is coconut oil, cocoa, coconut, ground nuts, a hint of mint

rolled into balls and chilled and rolled into ground nut, cocoa or even sugar.

Just remember coconut oil is FOOD.

If there is a chance that fungal issues lurk in your bod, start on low doses

and gradually increase over time to avoid the energy loss and discomfort

found in herx reactions.

Coconut oil does also have antifungal properties.

I didn't get that much in a day when I did use it, but quit because I didn't

notice any improvement in energy levels. I might try again someday and use

more of it. How do you use that much?

Virgin coconut oil does not spoil. It is shelf stable and does not need

refrigeration.

How do you think natives of equatorial areas where coconut oil's been used

for hundred of years stored the stuff without refrigeration?

Yeah, I would like to know the answer to that, too. Also: is it ok to cook

with it or does that spoil it? It is so expensive, I would hate to waste it.

The sale that ends tonight is for gallons of expeller pressed coconut oil.

I am going to order this so thanks for reminding me.

To consume therapeutic amounts of coconut oil, remember that 2 T = 1 ounce

and that there are 128 ounces to a US gallon, so a gallon ought to last a bit

more than a couple of months.

Tropical Traditions has periodic sales, and that's always the best

time to buy.

Yes, you absolutely can cook with it (it's wonderful to fry in -- it

can take a lot of heat, and the stuff comes out sweet and crispy).

Tropical Traditions has periodic sales, and that's always the best

time to buy. Also, it goes farther than you might think: I bought

four one-quart jars back in February, and we're still only working on

the second one -- even though I take 2 T every morning (it goes in a

morning smoothie with frozen and fresh fruit, probiotic yogurt, a

little juice, and a scoop of RenewPro) and also cook with it 1-2

times/week.

Funny thing: I didn't handle the stuff at all well at first. The

reaction was just too intense. But since my GSH levels have come up,

my body seems very happy to have it now. It does great things for

appetite control and muscle tone, too.

Whoo hoo, Marilyn! I was hoping that was the case!

Thanks for your answers. I just bought a gallon of the virgin oil.

I have been wanting to say that I am enjoying your presence on this forum. I

like your attitude, thank you.
