Sorry guys the coconut oil was added to the fish oil in my diet for pain management. Going keto was just a by product but I like it and is good to make up 80% of my macro. I could drink gallons of whole milk a day to get fats but using the coconut oil is better because it does not load me up with carbs like drinking that much milk.
I had 2 tablespoons of coconut oil at 4 pm yesterday and did not take any more until 8 am today and my joint and muscle pain was returning. If I get this about 5x over 24 hours life is less of a pain.
Coconut oil per some can be antibacterial, antiviral, antiprotozoal and kill the tons of parasites that can be prowling around in the gut causing IBS, etc perhaps.
Just the IBS leaving after fighting with it for 40 years means I will stick with coconut oil for a while longer even if it was not great at managing my joint and muscle pain.0 -
Fiber is a carb and is digested very slowly.
People rave about fats and protein keeping them full and always forget about our good friend Fiber.
I need to hang out with your friends. All I can find are fiber - happy people and food. (I'm fiber sensitive, so I actually try to limit my fiber and it's more difficult than you'd think! )0 -
We could talk more about lovely carbs.
"Low-glycemic grains include cooked fettuccine and spaghetti noodles, fresh rice noodles and all bran cereal. Apples, oranges, pears, sweet cherries, dried apricots and unsweetened apple juice are low glycemic fruits and fruit juices."

Or coconut oil.
"Despite the popularity of coconut oil, this highly saturated oil is 44% lauric acid and 16% myristic acid, which are both hypercholesterolemic.4 "We do know that coconut oil raises LDL cholesterol, but it raises HDL cholesterol even more. Does that make a difference? We don't know," says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy at Tufts University. "There's no strong data or evidence that coconut oil is better or worse for you than any other source of saturated fat," he explains."

I meant on the boards. We talk a lot about protein and fat keeping us full, but don't mention how long fiber hangs out in the stomach, keeping us full. This is not intended to slam anyone, just something I always like to add.
Most people I know don't give a rat's butt about fiber or any other kind of food. One is with me on getting healthy and losing weight. One is pretending to be, lol. One is into all the bodybuilder BS. The rest just eat. 0 -

Carbs are not "optional." While it's true a human can survive without carbs, you can also survive without arms and legs, so are arms and legs optional?
I'd rather cut off my legs than cut out carbs
Wow really? I like carbs and all, but I like my legs better.0 -

Per some? Who? Got any science to back that up? You need bacteria in your digestive system. It's impossible to target the "bad" bacteria, so if they were killing everything in your intestines it would spell very bad news for your body and the absorption of many vital micronutrients.
You know, you may experience less joint and muscle pain if you increased carbs. The insulin spikes help muscle and joint recovery by signaling the muscle cell to increase exchange across the membrane (sort of like opening a door). This allows allow glucose, amino acids, and creatine to enter the muscles, which improves recovery. Tendons (the part of the joints where most joint pain comes from) need insulin even more since they have less blood flow to them than muscles.0 -

I like coconut oil. But I like actual food a whole lot better. If I'm gonna waste 1200 cals/day on oil, I'd better be eating another 6000 cals/day in real food.0

they are all special lol. but i only particularly care about the protein consumption... as long as that hits a certain amount, the fat and carbs can fall where they may and I'm ok with that.0

No kidding. I like coconut oil--although no more than olive oil or butter--but as a pleasant addition to/way to cook meat or veggies. Wasting calories on straight coconut oil seems super depressing.0 -

That Gale guy reminds me of a friendly conversation I had with a fellow patron at the local townie bar last summer. This guy informed me that he wouldn't get cancer because he was drinking Hydrogen Peroxide, the industrial stuff with a higher percentage of peroxide. Apparently, he believed the claim that drinking hydrogen peroxide raises your blood's PH balance which somehow is suppose to make it difficult for cancers to develop, and that "western" medicine was all about toxic chemicals.
My brain reeled at that. First of all, cancers are a spectrum disorder. There is no one magic cure-all. Second, it is damn near impossible to raise your blood PH. Third, he hates "toxic" western medicine yet drinks industrial strength hydro peroxide? Irony meter broke at that.
Lastly, the overall claim that raising your blood's PH defeats cancer? Where in the heck does that come from? Why should anyone believe that?0 -

Is the internet where you get your health advice, or are you like a Mike Adams disciple or something? Curious, because you were asked about some science supporting your claims.

There's a trend in the bodybuilding industry of drinking alkaline water (water with baking soda) to detox and fix our blood's pH. I don't get it. Do these people simply not understand that our bodies fight to keep our pH at a very specific number (7.35 - 7.45)? The reason the pH of our urine changes when you eat an acidic or basic diet is because your body is trying to keep a balance.0 -
