Hi All,

I am brand new to the group. I have really been struggling with my
weight for the last several years. Since becoming menopausal, the
weight just does not come off, so I'm excited about the prospects of
this diet. I'm also on depression meds, and I'm keeping my fingers
crossed that I will still be able to lose. I did Atkins a couple
years ago, and it took me 5 months to lose 15 lbs., even though I
stuck to it religiously. I didn't exercise, so that was a
contributing factor to the slow loss, I expect.

I have started cooking with EVCO, and am almost finished reading the
book. I adore coconut, so this should be easier than most diets. I'm
also planning on doing a cleanse.

My question is, does anyone have a source (mail-order or otherwise)
for fresh, young coconuts? I would love to be able to incorporate
them into the diet, but I live in Massachusetts, and the only thing
I can find are the old ones in the grocery stores.

Thanks!
