Hi Beth,



If you are gaining weight with coconut oil, I would not use it personally.
I know that it does not work for everyone in the same way. I have put a few
of my clients on it for various reasons and some lose weight right away
while others after some time and still others not at all. As long as you
feel good and are losing weight with what you are doing, don't change it.
If you want the health benefit, try just a tsp each day. That will still
have good effect.



Hope this helps.

Alana

Hi I just started using VCO last week. I had read about it a yr or so
ago but truthfully have been afraid of it. Since March 1st I have lost
35lbs counting calories...1000 a day of healthy foods...no VCO...but I
have about 30 more to go and I want to do this very healthy...so
thought adding in VCO would be a good choice....I usually have oat bran
for breakfast with ground flax seed 1/2 of organic banana and 1/2 ounce
of almonds..I started adding 1 TBS of coconut oil into that...and
yesterday used VCO to stir fry chicken in..Well today after not quite a
week I weighed and was up 2 lbs!!! I am not eating anymore than 2 TBS
of VCO a day and probably more like 1 TBS....This is making me want to
STOP taking the VCO!!! I can not regain the weight I worked so hard to
lose!! Any input would be great! I did make a smoothie this morning and
used kefir with coconut milk and some organiic fruit and flax seed..it
was so good..I never have smoothies but this was a nice change! Thank
you Beth
