After seeing many threas on here about coconut oil I bought some. It doesn't taste like anything much, but I do have a mad burst of energy!! Not too sure if its all from the cafe latte this morning, but when I do drink coffee, i'm not all cracked out like this!!! I bought what my kroger had Spectrum Organic Coconut oil. Anyone use this? i just put a tab on my finger and ate some... How often should i eat it, any other helpful tips?! THANKS!

    I use it all the time. It can be used in replacement of butter (esp in recipes), to cook in a pan, baking, I mix it with PB and put it on toast. It only takes about 5seconds in the microwave to make it a liquid. And the smoking temp is much lower than most oils. It's not really great to add to anything cold, because it turns hard as soon as it hits what ever is cold.

    ETA: If you're low on fats, add it to something. It's just a really good fat source.
