Good Saturated Fat - Tue 12th Oct 2010
It has taken me 5 years to finally get to grips with coconut oil. I read all the articles and bought all the books but struggled to implement the oil into my diet as I was on a students budget and found the whole diet expensive. I now have started using it in cooking and baking and think it is great. I have started to eat a more slow / low carb diet. Unlike the atkins, i eat lots of lean poultry, green veg dark chocolate sweet been cakes etc. I eat and make substitutes for everything i would eat on a normal diet, and this prevents boredom and enables me to loose weight and maintain a good level of energy.
There is lots of science that is boasted and pulled apart depending on what you read! All I can say is cut back on the sugar and increase you intake of coconut oil and the weight does come off. I can take 2 table spoons of neat oil in a morning that can kick start me when doing 40 length's at the swimming pool every other day. It also has increase my temp at times to 37.7 Celsius which returns to normal after meals containing coconut oil.
Tiana Coconut flour is also brilliant - check my review.

I've not been using Tiana products for long (so I can't rate it higher)and was abit dubious about how I would incorporate it into my diet. I now find myself buying more. It is lovely and creamy and I use it in my curries and sometimes eat an odd teaspoon just cos I feel like it! As a dietary supplement they recommend eating 1-3 tablespoons a day depending on your body weight. I think this is quite alot and they don't provide guidelines on this :(
