Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi Melinda, The " recipe " that I found had no ingredient list/amounts -- so last night I fiddled around and tried: ******************************** 30g unsweetened chocolate (1 block, baking type) 34g coconut oil 40g unsweetened coconut flakes 30g pecan pieces 4 packets Splenda sweetener Place chocolate and oil in bowl and nuke until the chocolate is melted. Add the Splenda and mix well. Add the coconut and pecans and mix. Line a small pie plate with waxed paper and dump the mixture on. Refrigerate until set. ******************************** This sets up fairly hard, so I was able to peel it off the waxed paper this morning and break it into two pieces. I put one of the halves into a small Tupperware carry bowl (good idea! by the time I got to work it was thoroughly melted!). I put it into the refrigerator here at work, then pulled it out a bit ago -- it actually tastes quite good! I plan to try it with cocoa. And if you don't count carbs (which I do) then mixing in some rolled oats might be really good (in fact, you could likely use rolled oats, sweetener/sugar, and cinnamon -- sort of a " crisp " topping, then bake..... Let me know of any " recipes " you come up with -- I still don't think what I've done is particularly healthy! Plus it's sweet and chocolately, flavors that I don't crave anywhere near as much as salty and spicy.... Bonnie ****SPAM**** Re: Digest Number 1675 Bonnie, Would you mind sharing the recipe for the coconut oil, chocolate, and sweetener? I would like to try that when I'm away from home and can't always easily fit in the oil. Melinda ) RE: ****SPAM**** Re: Re: Books - Coconut Oil Thanks Bonnie, I will be sure to check that web-site out. Well, I tried the coconut oil in my shake this morning. It was great! Could'nt taste it at all. My belly was a little unsettled this morning but I think it was the flavour of the protein shake.. it was orange cremesickle.I prefer Strawberry/banana...yummy!!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi Everyone, Just thought I would drop a quick line..... I feel amazing ! I have now lost 3 pounds total since last Thursay. (That's when I started the coconut oil) I have lots of energy, my skin has cleared up and I am sleeping amazing. I now know what its like to get a good quality sleep in! My cravings are gone, which is in itself, a miracle. I love chocolate!!! And lastnight I gave the kids oreo cookies for a snack, normally I would take a couple for myself...didn't even want them! I am shrinking too.!! Went shopping lastnight - I can now fit comfortably in a size 9 (Cdn size 9 is compared to a size 6 in the States) I was so happy! My next goal is to fit into a size 7 I have been really watching my diet along with my LL. I'm pumped this time ! And I am doing it - Once and for all - No more yo-yo dieting...(Which I think screw'd up my metabolism in the 1st place) Gotta get back to work, Seeya, Ginny ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Wow Ginny, I'm impressed! So far the coconut oil addition doesn't seem to be reducing my weight -- in fact, it bumped it up a bit... When I looked at the calories I was adding to my diet, I was horrified -- maybe the key is to somehow add it to my diet without increasing overall calories? What have you been doing???? The LifeLift exercises/breathing have already boosted my energy, helped my sleep patterns, etc. -- but I'm always more than willing to try even more things to somehow get my weight down -- I was hoping the coconut oil would do it... I watch what I eat really carefully -- I both low-carb (modified for extra fruits and vegetables, very little fatty meats [just don't like them]) and watch calorie-intake -- I actually eat very little fat (if you don't count the almonds, which I love and have to quit snacking on!). So how do you take the oil? And how much each day? And have you cut back on other foods to get the full amount in? Etc.? Etc.? Maybe I just need more patience (something I have a very short supply of).... Thanks, Bonnie RE: ****SPAM**** Re: Digest Number 1675 Hi Everyone, Just thought I would drop a quick line.....
