coconut oil?

  • Hey everyone,

    I keep seeing posts were people are using coconut oil.

    Something new? How do you use it. Count as a fat like other oils.

    Am willing to try new things just wondering what you do with it.

    Thanks for any ideas...
  • Saute with it, put it in baked goods, I love to fry eggs with it.
  • Add it to coffee to make bulletproof coffee.

    I can't imagine putting it in coffee. What does it do to it? Doesn't it give it a greasy taste?

    I also have read about a lot of people using it throughout the forum. What is the benefit of it over other types of fat?
  • The key to really good bulletproof coffee I've found is a good immersion blender at the end. BP is grass fed butter and coconut oil. I also add a touch of half and half.

    It is delicious. And filling and energizing and healthy. LOVE IT.

    Make sure any you get is organic and virgin. It is a nice energy boost and filling is why people use it in the gym.

    People generally loose more weight when using it. If they say have 200 calories of coconut oil a day they might cut 400 calories elsewhere it is so filling.

    And no problems frying with it unlike olive oil. Just SUPER healthy.
  • Thanks for the info!
  • My doctor actually had me start adding it to my coffee to help constipation. I melt the oil and add a tablespoon to my coffee. It is greasy but I found it easy to get used to and it did help my problem. Now I season green beans with it, and use it often for cooking.
  • We use it on our hair in my house as well as in cooking. Like QuilterInVA, I LOVE eggs in coconut oil and also chicken.
