    What? Coconut oil is super high in calories, why would you add 3 tbs of it to your diet? That's just gonna take up your calories... you're adding about 360 calories to your diet. That's like having 5 eggs at one go... or even 2 eggs and 3 slices of bacon.

    This is a myth, don't add coconut oil to your diet unless you're just using it to replace some other unhealthy oils

    Coconut oil doesn't induce weight loss. It's a quality oil, but it's still just a fat...it has 120 calories per Tbsp just like any other oil.

    There will be a lot of weight loss BS out there. There is no easy fix. You won't just lose belly fat by eating a specific food or drinking some disgusting concoction that Dr. Wacko thought up. It's easy to buy into it when you want to lose weight, but just don't. Stick within your calorie goals and exercise. That's the best way.

    I think 3 tbsp. is excessive. That's almost enough calories for a meal. If you want to use coconut oil, I would just use one serving. 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.

    Probably because of the high fat content of the oil - it's causing satiety.

    But it's not a magic ingredient that will shrink you; you still have to eat fewer calories than you burn.

    360 cals in oil...I'm in maintenance and that's how many calories are in my entire lunch sometime. Seems like a waste. It's not magic. It's fat. Fat is good but you don't need to guzzle oil.

    I put coconut oil in my bath water every night. I had cracked feet real bad but since I've been doing that that oil removed my cracked feet. Now their smooth. And I put it on my face before bed. Works great. I've even stopped using foundation on my face.
