has anyone had success using coconut oil to lose weight(fat)?
thanks

Coconut oil is high in MCTs (about 70% IIRC). About 50% of MCTs bypass the kidney and are metabolized as energy rather than utilized for energy storage (fat). If you're doing a lot of cooking Coconut Oil is a good choice for cooking oil

Coconut oil is great stuff.

I have had great success with it and get a high quality one for cheap at Whole Foods by me. I bought 2 in late February, just finished my second "tub" of it this week. Great for pre-workout with protein when dieting.

thanks

Never used it for weight loss, but I do cook with it. I get LorAnns (sp?) at Walmart for under $5 for a good sized tub

I don't use it for weight loss, more for some healthy calories. I honestly haven't placed an order without including some coconut oil .

Problem is using it. It is just too much trouble

[LAC]

trouble?
how so?

[DAdams91982]

Coconut Oil does raise testosterone and the calories are not know to be stored as fat, so maybe not weight loss, but definitely helps with body recomposition.

Now has capsules if you want to go that route.

[LAC]

why would it be trouble?

[DAdams91982]

why would it be trouble?

I think he means cause it is a solid at room temp and you have to slightly warm it, then tables spoon it out.

thanks

it raises test?
where did you learn about that?

[DAdams91982]

it raises test?
where did you learn about that?

Years of research my friend... taken before bed gives building blocks for Test, couple with some Zinc and you get a nice raise.
