I put it in my coffee, I eat a spoonful daily. It gives me energy, helps me sleep and generally feel better and look better inside and out. It has cured my candida (daily use, oral, external and frozen suppository at bedtime) and has healed my husbands toenail fungus and athletes foot (daily use for several months to completely cure). Also just started using it on husband for rosacea (daily topical) and it is remarkably improving. Be sure to use organic, virgin, and cold pressed coconut oil. It is AWESOME.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-17941706093987947932014-06-02T09:55:35.013-07:002014-06-02T09:55:35.013-07:00My question is about calories.

I made a shaving cream using CO, Olive Oil, Bee's Wax, and Baking Soda, My underarms have not broke out at all since I started using it, and my legs feel wonderful and moisturized. My boyfriend use's it when he shaves in the shower, and loves it. I also made a sugar scrub using CO, white sugar, lemon zest and juice. It was to die for...OMG, it made my skin so increditibily soft and smooth. Only down fall was later that day my shower was invaded by 10 billion ants...lol May have to try replacing the sugar with salt for next time.

I think, for me, it is because I had my gall bladder removed and excess oil or fats makes me sick. I use enzymes with ox bile or bile salts to prevent problems if I ingest fatty foods and it usually works. If you still have your gall bladder and experience problems, it very probable you have gall stones, bile duct or pancreatic problems and just don't know it yet.kimloudouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157421609947546518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-24976608160912463082013-11-13T21:19:28.040-08:002013-11-13T21:19:28.040-08:00With coffee, in a blender or not, also with butter...With coffee, in a blender or not, also with butter and honey but if using these in addition to coconut oil, definitely in the blender for a homemade latté.<br />As toothpaste I've mixed it with baking soda, but plain is very beneficial, too.<br />As leave-in-conditioner/hair gel<br />Love the deodorant ideaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-19479472902275477152013-11-13T21:16:21.563-08:002013-11-13T21:16:21.563-08:00A friend introduced Trader Joe's coconut oil t...A friend introduced Trader Joe's coconut oil to me. She said it was cheap...i had never bought it anywhere so? I bought some really cheap coconut oil at Walmart, but after having a taste of Trader Joe's again with my coffee at a friend's this week, I'll be getting the TJ's brand again. Just one tbsp made my coffee super-yummy. The same friend who introduced me to it told me that she makes a coffee beverage in her blender with this to get her daily intake of good fats: a couple of spoons (go by chart here and break it up between a few cups) of coconut oil, a tsp or so of butter, honey to taste, blended in a blender makes it very frothy like a latté. I also have a tiny canister of coconut oil + baking soda on my bathroom counter for brushing my teeth and my children's teeth. I'm not sure if my hubby has used it, but I just read an article saying plain coconut oil is a really good toothpaste after I've been doing it a couple of months. I would do the oil pulling, but I rarely have time, so I just brush with it. I really like the deodorant idea. Sounds very healthy and adequate as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-6572704496451104382013-08-28T21:44:22.588-07:002013-08-28T21:44:22.588-07:00I have been using cocnut oil now for about 3 month...I have been using cocnut oil now for about 3 months,I use it all over every night ..From the top of my head (my hair the ends) to my feet.Just love it.I have actually noticed on my neck that the loseness of the skin due to aging has tighted up and does not look as loose feels better also softer,my hands dont have that creapy look on the skin since iam using cocnut oil...My fave feels and looks way better.I will never stop using it..Iam 59 and the neck and hands have me convinced that it does work...And i am a sun person..And this is the best my skin has looked in a few yrs as i am getting older...Iam stoked about cocnut oil..I drink 1 can of cocnut water every day also,and have done it for yrs..<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-64872975906283012892013-08-16T10:22:38.759-07:002013-08-16T10:22:38.759-07:00I've recently bought the coconut oil in the lo...I've recently bought the coconut oil in the local organic store.

I cook with it, I bake with it, yes, even cakes and all my other desserts.<br /><br />We love the "leftover" pulp, or we dip it out before it gets brown and use it as a spread. DELICIOUS!<br /><br />I have to refrigerate mine because if I don't, it will go rancid; I think that's due to the bit of water left, especially in the cold pressed virgin kind. I don't heat mine that much, but I must, since I don't have the equipment to do it otherwise, but once in a while, I get the cold pressed kind.

After just a few uses my toenails are a normal color and I have not had any painful cracks from dry skin.

It rocks! When I first came across a few recipes for using it in diaper rash cream back when he was about 6 months old, I was rather skeptical because I didn't believe it would work like the whole professionally made stuff would. <br /><br />I also use this while cooking too! It melts at a lower temperature and honestly, I find myself using so little as to compared to when I was using canola oil or anything along those lines. It also gives our food a bit of a sweeter taste without being loaded down with extra additives. <br /><br />My hubby also LOVES using this as his after shave! He says it makes his skin feel better and he says it doesn't seem to clog his pores like the other stuff that's made.

He did stress the raw NON hydrogenated part. It is a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) as opposed to ling chain triglyceride (LCT) as in olive oil and other cooking oils/fats. Since it is a MCT our bodies metabolize it differerently and does not store it as so much fat as it does with LCTs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
