Re: How to ingest coconut oil

[Guest guest]

I always add coconut oil to my veggie smoothies. I also add coconut

oil when I cook a chicken in my crock pot.

I put a TBLS in my coffee in the morning. I tried putting some in my tea at

night but it gave me too much energy and I couldn't sleep. I also cook with it -

eggs, vegetables, etc; sometimes I put it on crackers/toast. I liked the coconut

taste at first but now I am growing tired of it in everything so it may be a

good thing to have the less coconutie taste in some things.

I tried Tropical Traditions Gold Label recently and it is nice and coconutie,

smooth and melty. Jen

You might want to stop taking coconut oil after 3pm aside from the usual use in

cooking. Coconut oil will really keep you awake because by the time you go to

bed, you have not used up the energy it gave you.

I take 2 ounces of coconut oil just before bed and sleep soundly.

I don't get the charge of energy people speak about when taking the CO. I

wish I did, I could sure use the extra energy. Sylvia

I take coconut oil at anytime, and it doesn't do anything but make me feel

great. I love it and I really need to gain some weight, but I still take my

coconut oil. Thank God for it.
