Anyone use it for fat loss and how?

Interesting no one has replied to this. Coconut oil is decent for weight loss, but it's subtle. I use it to cook all my food and I used to eat it by the spoonful randomly for some extra energy.Anyone use it for fat loss and how?

I was expecting more action in this thread also..?Interesting no one has replied to this. Coconut oil is decent for weight loss, but it's subtle. I use it to cook all my food and I used to eat it by the spoonful randomly for some extra energy.
Now I do MCT oil (NOW brand) first thing in the morning mixed with some organic butter and coffee. Crazy energy from this, btw.
Coconout oil is probably better for overall health. It's anti-microbial, anti-viral, contains MCTs which are great for cognition... but it's also going to boost energy and metabolism.I was expecting more action in this thread also..?
Have you used it pre workout? Is a better way to use it for fat loss or just overall health benefits? I'm already doing high protein&fat low carb diet and debating if it would help to add coconut oil? Fat loss is the goal
That's exactly what I use. NOW foods MCT OIL. Super cheap and you get large nice bottles. Has a nice thermogenic effect. Gave me a little digestive discomfort but not too bad. I do like coconut oil though because of the health benefits it offers like cholesterol health etc, which is something pure MCT oil does not haveInteresting no one has replied to this.

Besides cooking with it there are coconut capsules available (same as fish oil caps!) that can be swallowed throughout the day with meals. I believe this is a great health benefit AND it's convenient!Interesting no one has replied to this. Coconut oil is decent for weight loss, but it's subtle.

I use it before my workouts. I'll drink coffee + MCT (a solid 2 tablespoons) + butter from grassfed/organic source...Anyone use MCT intra? I recently picked up some 360cut BCAA Sport, which has 2.5g mct in it...pretty smooth blue raz taste..
I also want you guys to know that RXwhey dot com has MCT powder. It does have maltodextrin in it in order to maintain the powder form, but it's super convenient to add to ANY drink. I hate downing capsules all day.Besides cooking with it there are coconut capsules available (same as fish oil caps!) that can be swallowed throughout the day with meals.

2 tbs, would that be 28g of Mct's still?I use it before my workouts. I'll drink coffee + MCT (a solid 2 tablespoons) + butter from grassfed/organic source...
Then I workout on just that with no other foods...
Energy is amazing and I much prefer working out like that than with any food in my stomach.
Bulletproof diet?Interesting no one has replied to this. Coconut oil is decent for weight loss, but it's subtle. I use it to cook all my food and I used to eat it by the spoonful randomly for some extra energy.

I'd just like to add to the thread here and I second everything BigBlackGuy is saying but TRUST ME when I say (and I'm sure he can verify) you need to work up to this level of MCT if you're not use to it otherwise you'll be wishing your toilet has handlebars!I use it before my workouts.

I'm always up in the air about taking fast-digesting aminos while "fasted". How much of it is being turned into glucose? If your body needs carbs I really think taking fast digesting protein/aminos is mostly being turned to carbs... just my opinion I don't have much to back it up.2 tbs, would that be 28g of Mct's still?
Interesting, I work out first thing in the morning, fasted, except for a preWO and ~10g bcaa...just started using this Bcaa sport today, will monitor how it works for me...
Absolutely 100% correct. I can only stomach MCT if I use it with something else, ie, coffee/butter OR tuna.I'd just like to add to the thread here and I second everything BigBlackGuy is saying but TRUST ME when I say (and I'm sure he can verify) you need to work up to this level of MCT if you're not use to it otherwise you'll be wishing your toilet has handlebars!
The last thing you want is a severe case of MCT squirts.
Would that be the case because people are not use to this amount of oil in their diet? Or just because of the MCT oil itself? I use 3 tbsp of udo's a day along with 2-3 coconut a day and some other stuff so that is why I am asking.I'd just like to add to the thread here and I second everything BigBlackGuy is saying but TRUST ME when I say (and I'm sure he can verify) you need to work up to this level of MCT if you're not use to it otherwise you'll be wishing your toilet has handlebars!

I've drank a lot of different oils straight, including: Olive Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Coconut Oil and Fish oil. None of them ever gave me problems except for MCT oil.Would that be the case because people are not use to this amount of oil in their diet? Or just because of the MCT oil itself?

I believe, don't quote me on this though, that it is because people are not use to or capable of properly absorbing this much fat straight away.Would that be the case because people are not use to this amount of oil in their diet?

its the MCT itself.Would that be the case because people are not use to this amount of oil in their diet? Or just because of the MCT oil itself? I use 3 tbsp of udo's a day along with 2-3 coconut a day and some other stuff so that is why I am asking.
Depends what you mean by moderate, but I'd still say there was room for coconut oil. Fat intake seems to be a personal thing though. Personally, if I drop below 50g/day, I notice a detrimental effect in my focus and libido. Coconut oil is essential for me... have it every day, in varying quantities.So if on a high carb/protein and low-moderate fat diet, should one avoid Coconut oil?
I used to use it to cook and make protein pancakes / shakes when I was keto... But I've switched to a high carb diet with moderate fat (consumed away from carbs) and have recomped quite nicely on it... I do miss my coco oil and PB shakes tho!
Yea I'm on erase too so my libido is hurtin despite using daa and maca+trib+fenugreek.Depends what you mean by moderate, but I'd still say there was room for coconut oil.

boldened latter is likely the cause of the formermy libido is hurtin.
My fat is about 30-50 daily usually on the lower end tho
I understand that for sure. Recomping has been great, although I know low fat causes much more issues than just libido. It's been about 3 months, I'm making changes now.boldened latter is likely the cause of the former
fat intake is too low..this is not the 70s bro, that idea of low-fat went out long time ago
generally speaking, sure when carbs are high we want to keep fats in check (and vice versa if we care anything about body composition) -- but, that is a relative terminology, and nothing finite like 30g (which as I already said is wayyy too low)
You do realise that fats play one of the greatest roles in the body? Why o why would you deprive yourself of them?Yea I'm on erase too so my libido is hurtin despite using daa and maca+trib+fenugreek.

Absolutely love some coconut oil in my oatmeal. Generally, you should aim for ~.45g per lb. of BW as the minimum for your fat intake.i've been using coconut oil for awhile now....i put it in my morning coffee, used to put it in my protein shake, i've also cooked with it and didn't 'mind it, but other ppl swear they taste coconuts when i used it for cooking it just sucks because my ex gf's aunt runs a health store and got me a gallon of organic coconut oil for $1, i'm running low, have to find where i can get a gallon of it again
Ate so much of them I got tired of them lolAnybody eat much of the banana chips you can find in many stores? Usually consists of bananas, coconut oil and sugar.
They have those bags at Target for a little over a dollar. Great deal.Ate so much of them I got tired of them lol
Dried green beans are delicious. Have you tried the dried okra? The peas are my least favorite lolI get the dried green beans. They are surprisingly tasty just expensive.
Costco has giant tubs of it cheap here, so they must have them in the US, too. Nutiva brand, organic, etc etc...good stuff!i've been using coconut oil for awhile now....i put it in my morning coffee, used to put it in my protein shake, i've also cooked with it and didn't 'mind it, but other ppl swear they taste coconuts when i used it for cooking

How do you do this?Coconut oil is stored in my fridge and even at room temperature it is solidI start off almost every morning with coconut oil in my oatmeal or shake, I never had it in coffee but I had it in my tea...
costco doesn't exist where i'm from....i have to talk my mother into taking me to sam's club and see if they have anything since she's the only one with a membershipCostco has giant tubs of it cheap here, so they must have them in the US, too. Nutiva brand, organic, etc etc...good stuff!
This^^^^. I get the Carrington Farms brand. I'm going to try it on a sweet potato later instead of butterCostco has giant tubs of it cheap here, so they must have them in the US, too. Nutiva brand, organic, etc etc...good stuff!
nothing wrong with butter, and butter is (proportionately speaking) a better fat for boosting testThis^^^^. I get the Carrington Farms brand. I'm going to try it on a sweet potato later instead of butter
I'm not avoiding butter, just trying something newnothing wrong with butter, and butter is (proportionately speaking) a better fat for boosting test not saying this applies to you specifically, but: if you are avoiding butter simply due to what you "hear" in the media, you have taken a turn down the wrong path indeed and let me also state the obvious: just because coconut butter has unique properties (ie mct formation), this does NOT mean one can consume this fat with reckless abandon....a fat is still a fat, in the grand scheme of things
It melts in hot food or liquidHow do you do this?Coconut oil is stored in my fridge and even at room temperature it is solid
