Added 3 tbs a day this week. I have been logging food around this high calorie high fat food being sure not go over..So far I have only noticed appetite control, Not craving as much junk, Its only been a week so no noticed weight loss weigh in this monday..Im afraid if I haven't lost I may have to ditch this healthy oil..Tips on amount..Has anyone experienced belly fat reduction Because of this? Any help appreciated..
Coconut oil is good for you. Good healthy ingredients do help with fat loss, but it still has to be a calorie deficit overall. It's the food additives, added sugars, etc that HINDER fat loss - so things like coconut oil, lemon, bananas, green veggies, probiotics, pickles, raw apple cider vinegar, etc are what get your system healthy so you are no longer HINDERING FAT LOSS.
See, you noticed that you feel better and your hunger cravings are gone. Now focus on the RIGHT AMOUNT of everything in balance to make the calorie deficit happen. It was always the calorie deficit, it always will be. The calorie deficit works a bit better when the food you happen to eat is healthy and balanced - AND the correct amount for a deficit.1 -
I use coconut oil as a replacement in my meals. I also use it for dry skin as needed. I haven't noticed any weight loss, but I'm not using it for that purpose.1

@kwil74
1st you weren't clear, pertaining to; how you use/ingest it & therefore it was reasonable to, believe that you were drinking it; by the tablespoon full!
2nd I use, nonstick pans/bake ware & thus don't have to use any oil/cooking spray for, cooking even; when using the leanest of meats

When I was a kid, my grandmother would apply a hell lot of coconut oil on my head and I would sleep with it all night. It messes up pillows but hey.... guess who had wavy hair like roman busts all through teens and even now if it is let grown.... I have to cut it and keep it shorter and neatly combed coz of my desk job.
Anyway, I'd wake up in the morning and she would apply a half lemon and let it for a while and then shower it all off. Immense medicinal value for the hair. My sisters all over the country use this trick to this day without weird products from the store (in the old country, more bald men buy Pantene products than women, in the hopes of regrowing). Every one of them has hair that grows like a waterfall.
One disclosure though - all Roman busts for whom it was made... the original individuals were ugly SOBs but the busts were always cute and muscly, because you know.... it's highly like Augustus looked like the older Diego Maradona. Anything is possible when Romans are sculpting. If they come back and make a bust of me, it will be pretty accurate... except that brown marble is hard to find, well it doesn't exist. But I think that kind of misrepresentation is acceptable because of earthly sedimentation geo-physical laws. I need some french press coffee.Cutaway_Collar wrote: »Coco oil also has other value.

I use 1 tbsp. to pop corn with if I have enough calories at the end of the day. Not so much for weight loss, just because it tastes good so it satisfies my craving.
@cnurenasue gonna try that... 0 -

I rather just rub it all over my bod and use it in my hair
Be careful. Made my hair awful and break off at ends. I've researched and many are protein resistant0 -
