Plethora of benefits!

I know that coconut oil is good for us and sometimes i make it for myself. I wonder that is there any differences between handmade coconut oil and the oil we buy?

now im confused. i got some virgin coconut oil but it does not taste good at all. ill need to go look up the name but think it may be from NOW. i sometimes take it, 1 tbsp and just drink it down. its eh for me. maybe i got the wrong type....has 120 cals i think, etc.

I personally find it disgusting on its own. Absolutely horrible ... but I think that about a lot (not all) oils. If you put it on something like some others have suggested (not in shakes, I mean on bread, or broccoli, or fish, etc) then it's good. I actually like using it on salmon.

When u use it alone it can be not tasty.
Adding it to some meats or shake its better.

i tried it in scramble eggs once, still eh but ill try it again.

Use some cinnamon and free calorie syrup!

I use it to cook it with my chicken, baby spinach, balsamic, and minced onion. It sweetens it up some its nice

Can anyone suggest the best ways to Take it?
Should I be adding it to my shakes or how else are you eating it?
Pre or Post workout better?
And does heating it up, reduce the beneficial properties? (I know it's not meant to heat on HIGH, but.... I think you know what i mean.)

Yep, same here. It might have a faint smell/taste of coconut but I can hardly tell the difference.

You can add it to your shakes. Make sure its already in the liquid state before adding though. Coconut oil can harden up and become the consistancy of butter. Melt before you add.

I take a 2-4 spoonfuls a day everyday, get energy booster. Gives you big balls and has me horny 24/7. Love it!

Just don't take too much at once as it can have you on the bog.

I take it with my fish oil/krill oil and Vit D.

Haha....I've experienced the effects of taking too much!! You need the bog immediately and need to go several times until everything has been disposed of!! Be careful...if this had happened whilst travelling I would have been in trouble.
