Hi there,

   I am new here, i read about the coconut diet in womans world,

found this website through there.I went out today and bought the

oil.I am so excited to get started.I lost 70 pounds 2 years ago,

been keeping it off untill i had surgery 4 months ago.The way i lost

the weight 2 years ago was an unhealthy way, so i was glad to come

across this diet, it seems to be healthy.I am hoping to find friends

here so i can compare notes, and have some support.Any tips would be

a big help, thanks in advance.

Hi Cheryl,







Yes, ideally I have about 30 more pounds to lose.I would be happy with 20

more.







Cleanses.just last week I did a liver / gallbladder cleanse, different from

the process than in the book only because that is the one I had used before

and it was very effective.  I am averaging about a 3 lb per week weight loss

and that is without exercise, so I'm happy about that, but now that the

weather is getting nicer I plan to get out there and walk again.







I feel really good on this diet, not deprived, though once in awhile I get a

hankering for chocolate.  Last Sunday I did have some, but then I went right

back to schedule on Monday with no consequences except that Monday was a

little harder because my body remembered the chocolate from the before!

Ahhh.sweet memories (-: !!!  I think I have more motivation on this diet

because the coconut oil is satisfying and I'm not constantly hungry.







Onward and upward.we CAN do it!!







Judy

I sure will. You are exactly right about so many people suffering with

thyroid disorders, some unknown to them. It can make your weight loss even

harder. Hopefully I won't have the problem. I will let you know how my

thyroid is doing, and also my weight loss.







I would love to hear how everyone else is doing on the Coconut Diet with

weight loss or health improvement. Judy, do you have much more weight to

lose? Thanks for the encouragement. I am really excited. Have you went

through phase 2 with the different cleanses?







Cheryl

Hello Coconut Dieters,







I'm just wondering how you are all doing on your diet.  I have plateaued at

15 pounds.now I have added exercising.  I do free weights 3 x week and I got

myself a rebounder (trampoline) and am loving it.  So I may be gaining some

muscle and therefore don't see the pound loss, but I do feel better and my

clothes fit better.







I have been successful at eliminating all wheat products.that I have under

control.  But sometimes, just sometimes.I get that chocolate urge that I

cannot resist.







Does anybody else have these urges and how does it affect you when you

cheat?







Thanks for your input.







Judy

Hello Amanda & Cheryl,







I am new here too (last Friday).I have followed the diet for about a month

and as previously stated in an earlier email I used to feel very sluggish,

tired, often depressed and unable to move any of the weight, but after just

3 days I felt so much better.  It's now been over a month and I have lost 11

pounds with no exercise (I intend to add exercise now that I am feeling

better).  Coconut oil has helped me stay on the diet with no cravings for

the junk I used to love and that's a miracle, trust me, I was the ultimate

chocoholic.  I am now a cocoholic!! (-:







Cheryl, after reading Cherie Calbom's book I realized that I had hypothyroid

symptoms too. I had been tested about 5 years ago and they said I was fine,

but during the following years I realized that I had more and more symptoms

of hypothyroidism and am now really eager to see more results as I continue

my journey hand in hand with coconut oil!  BTW.I do love it as a hand and

body lotion also.it is wonderful on cracked heels, makes them as soft as can

be!







I got a stressed out this past weekend and fell off the coconut wagon for

one day, but got right back on the next day, so don't get discouraged if

this happens to you, we are only human.







I am truly looking forward to spring and summer this year with renewed

energy and less pounds!







Cheryl, please keep us posted as to how you see the diet helping your

thyroid problem because this is very crucial to weight lose and a lot of

women suffer from it.







Hope to hear more from you all soon.keep up the great work.we'll get there!!

SMILE







Judy

Hello Amanda and welcome.







I officially started my coconut diet today. I had been using the coconut oil

sporadically for about a year, but today I am following Cherie Calbom's book

as close as possible. I have about 50 to 60 pounds to lose and a hypothyrod

problem to help.







I am hoping soon we all have a great testimony to share about this diet.

Hi, my name is melody and I have not bought the book yet, but read about the

diet in Womens Weekly, I have not even cut out all the foods that need to go

yet, and still I have lost weight just by substituting coconut oil in my diet.

If youfeel like cheating go ahead, because I have found that by doing so you

will eventually not want that chocolate, and I am very much into herbs as well.

If you can get PH GREENZONE from a herbalist, this suff looks gross, but you

eventually aquire the taste for it, and it balances out your blood sugar and you

will not want to crave for all the wrong stuff that puts on weight. I take it

twice a day. It really does help. Also take GOTU KOLA. It is also a chinese herb

and helps with nerves and blood circulation, which in turn helps to disolve all

our ugly cellulite. You should exercise along with it and boy do you feel good.

Love to all and good luck with the weight loss

Hi Judy,



I am very new to the group and was wondering if you would share with

me what liver gallbladder cleanse you did that allowed things to

move more quickly for you.  The one in this book recommends lemon

juice and other sour foods but they cause me bad indigestion.



Thanks,

Alana

Hello,

You can also use apple juice in place of the lemon juice.

Hi, I'm new and just wanted to say, as a hashimoto's hypot patient I

have long heard how cocoanut oil helps, but never knew how to use

it.Hope I can find some recipes here. I heard it tastes yucky, yet I

also know it is used in Tai food for example, and in India, gourmet

foods. So my guess is, ya goota know how. :)



As for me, I am almost 55 y.o., dx'd about 11 years now, am very into

alternatives, and glad to have found this place!

Is this group alwas so quiet?

Hi Priitaa,







This group is pretty much dead, actually.  I am not sure why.







Good luck with the coconut oil.  You can do a search on Google for recipes

and I am sure plenty will come up.







Best,



Alana

If thats the case :).....



I started a group cuz I was dx'd Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism and to be

honest, I needed support myself. The problem is, I'm a vegetarian and

many vegetarians are told they must eat meat once diagnosed with

hypothyrodism. Not true! I opened a group for veggie hypo's, & on

natural healing. Note we are (mellow) Krishna devotees, everyone's

welcome who're respectful to our path, we'd be happy to share what we

know about health & hopefully visa versa. Lets all help each other.

Anyway, we'll post info found to work or help, the use of herbs,

vits/minerals/aminos, oils, detoxing, buliding, etc. Please, not for

caretakers, the curious, etc but a Support group for those actually

diagnosed with "Autoimmune" Hypothyrodism. Read the front page & see

if we're a good fit for you. :)

Well I guess this is a quiet group. Maybe over time folks will start

to chat here, I dont know. Soooo if there are any vegetarians out

there who have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and would like to explore

some natural help, check out:

Read the front page first. Thanks!
