Coconut Oil For Weight Loss And So Many Other Good Uses.



Recommended Posts

I've been reading the benefits of extra vigrin coconut oil, it comes in jar that needs no refrigeration and melts easily. DO NOT MICROWAVE!

I've been using coconut oil to cook with, eat a tablespoon everyday in my coffee, and use it as a moisturizer and hair condition. A little goes a long way. Google coconut oil make sure it is extra virgin cold pressed oil.

I've been using it for years as baby lotion, diaper rash cream, and lip balm!

Does it have a strong taste? Like, can you use it to fry an egg without making it gross?

I wouldn't fry with it at all! It will start smoking like crazy. It's more like a spread- you'd put it on your toast or something.

I've used it to fry with - just don't fry on high. Works great - no funky taste. Only need a little bit.

I have absolutely fried with it. When we have sausage which isn't often, we put a little in the pan and it gives it a great taste. You can put it in almost anything that calls for butter or oil. I wouldn't substitute it completely....like if something calls for 1 stick of butter I would probably use 1/3 to 1/2 coconut oil and the rest butter...but who knows? Maybe you CAN substitute 100%...anyone know? I love it though. I put it in rice along with finely diced onion, red peppers, and pineapple for kick-ass hawaiian rice! You can sautee the rice in it first, remove from heat and add warm Water SLOWLY then bring to a boil and cook like normal then add the veges and fruit when it's done. So yummy. I even add in more coconut oil to taste after the rice is done sometimes. I've never used it on my skin though....but I will starting tonight!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
