I started on coconut oil (adding to my diet) in October. By December I had lost 30 lbs, my cholesterol was down, blood sugar was down, and I had more energy.

Coconut and Palm Kernel oil are the only 2 oils in the world that are medium chain fats. (MCT).

What kind of ‘dosage’ are you doing each day? 2 tablespoons? 4?

Try making popcorn with coconut oil. Not greasy, at all. In fact, you have to add a bit of melted butter or the salt will just go to the bottom of the bowl.

Try it once, and you will throw away any microwave popcorn you may have in your pantry.

I always hated coconut; but one of my dogs has terrible yeast ear infections. Each time we would take her to the vet and they would do her ears and give her this awful medication. When she finished with the treatments, she would get her yeast infection back. I had heard about coconut oil and it’s possible benefits even for a dog with yeast infections. She has been on it now for several months and no yeast ear infections. So far her ears aren’t even red and her coat is glossy. I also started using it to cook with and use it in all our smoothies. As far as I am concerned so far so good. If I eat the wrong kind of fat I will pay really bad due to a gallbladder operation 2 years ago; but I have never paid with the coconut oil. Also, they never tell you what to really expect after the operation. It can be painful.
