As a Low carber,one key to successful steady weight loss is to ensure steady blood sugar so that any extreme ups and downs are avoided and don’t cause you to fall off the wagon and make a beeline for the junk food aisle at the grocery store. I have been doing very well with my low carb shopping, and I have been making sure that I keep a supply of coconut oil for my cooking and for my skin and hair. I keep one jar in the bathroom, and 1 jar in my refrigerator.
One of the very best fats to assist in any weight loss goal is coconut oil, a healthy medium chain saturated fatty acid that boosts metabolism and is used by the body for immediate energy but doesn’t end up as stored body fat like longer chain fatty acids sometimes can.
Countries that consume high amounts of coconut and coconut oil in their diets such as the Philippines, India, and the Pacific Islands have significantly fewer cases of heart disease and obesity clearly disproving any agenda driven smear campaign against this marvelously healthy oil!
I recently discovered that I must avoid Olive Oil now that I am in the fat burning mode to lose the weight.This is surprising to many people as olive oil is typically the first “healthy oil” that they think of due to heavy promotion of this Mediterranean oil by conventional doctors and nutritionists.
In fact, a 1994 study published in The Lancet noted that the fatty acid most predominantly found in body fat was monounsaturated fat like that found in high amounts in olive oil!
Could this be why those in Mediterranean countries so often gain weight at middle age? Well, I am a middle aged American woman, who started using Olive Oil when I switched over to a low carb lifestyle, but for some reason I wanted to research more about the healthy oils, and read that Olive Oil was not the oil I should be consuming in my diet for fat loss. So I am avoiding the Olive Oil and sticking with Coconut Oil, which for years now I have enjoyed and time after time, it truly does keep my full, feeling energized and staying healthy. I have the inflammatory auto immune disease, but with Oil Pulling, and consuming Coconut Oil and sticking to a Ketogenic diet, which is a low carb diet, but higher in fats, I have noticed steady fat loss.

How to Use Coconut Oil for Speedy Weight Loss
Coconut oil naturally solidifies at 76F so it is best to liquify it in hot water before consuming as a weight loss aid.
Twenty minutes before mealtime is the best time to take your coconut oil as it will significantly reduce appetite and help you to feel full more quickly and be satisfied with smaller portions.
To liquify, mix 1-2 TBL of coconut oil in a mug and add hot water or herbal tea or my favorite-Coffee! Stir to melt and drink. Use the following guidelines to determine how much oil to consume before each meal: Start out slow, usually 1 teaspoon, then 1 tablespoon and see how you feel. I cook with coconut Oil. I eat eggs most every morning, and instead of cooking them in butter, I use coconut oil, which gives the eggs a fantastic mild flavor and fills up your tummy fast.
Alternatively, you can simply eat the coconut oil and let it liquify in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing.
What is the Best Coconut Oil to Use for Weight Loss?
Be aware that not all coconut oils are created equal!
While coconut oil is very resistant to heat damage, solvents are frequently used to extract it, so sourcing high quality oil from a reputable company is of paramount importance to avoid any chemical residues.
Using only organic virgin coconut oil therapeutically for your weight loss efforts is a good idea as all the delicate micronutrients in the oil will be preserved and no chemicals will have been used in processing.
You can go to your local health food store and choose from many different brands of coconut oil. Please read where the Coconut Oil comes from, and that it is 100% Virgin Un-refined Coconut Oil.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

burning, ketotic process, and you'll have to start over. So don't start
a ketogenic diet plan just before some major food holiday, like
Thanksgiving or Christmas, unless you are sure you can weather the
pressure to eat sweets and starches...Spring is a good time for me to
start this diet, and so far...the fats are fueling my energy...I am
controlling that Carb Monster!!

the amount of carbohydrates and increasing the fat and protein in your

Instead of using the sugar from carbs for fuel, your body burns stored
fat for energy, and it's this fat burning process which greatly improves

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="font-size: medium;">Oil pulling is simple. You put a spoonful of ORGANIC Virgin Coconut oil into your mouth and swish it around for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. Coconut oil is the best oil to use, because the taste is mild and does not make you "gag". The oil is “worked” in the mouth by pushing, pulling, and sucking it through the teeth. As you work the oil, it sucks up bacteria, toxins, pus, and mucous. Don’t swallow it! Spit it out then rinse your mouth with water. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="font-size: medium;">Oil pulling is best done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach before eating breakfast. After eating, bush and floss your teeth as you normally do. Oil pulling can be done one to three times a day, make sure you have an empty stomach, usually 6hrs. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .3in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="font-size: medium;">We have billions of bacteria living in our mouths. Many of which produce toxins as by-products that damage the teeth and irritate the gums, causing inflammation and bleeding. An overgrowth of bacteria leads to tooth decay and gum disease, and eventually tooth loss. Discolored teeth, plaque (bacteria colonies), tarter (calcified plaque), cavities, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, and chronic bad breath are all signs of an overgrowth.</span></span></div><br />

Because it is a natural product it doesn’t contain the man made additives that are often found in similar products.</span></div></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><b><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s are some of the reasons why coconut oil is so highly regarded by me:</span></b></u></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> I have not had the flu in over 2 years</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">, I did get the regular flu shot in 2008, but in 2009 the Swine Flu shot I did not take.</span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">*Coconut oil is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial. It kills viruses that have a lipid (fatty) coating, such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, the flu,</span><span style="color: black;"> and mononucleosis. Coconut oil isn’t a cure in itself, but it does contain these properties that fight against such ailments.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />

</span> </div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Stress Relief: Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I slather the oil all over my skin, and I feel refreshed</span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">* Skin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. But unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.</span></span><br />

</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Anti-Itch Cream: Coconut oil is anti-inflammatory, so it’s possible it would bring some relief from bug bites, as it promotes healing.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Healing Balm: Since it’s anti-inflammatory, coconut oil might be useful as a salve to speed healing of bruises, strains, and sore muscles.</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">I have to try this, because recently I have been bitten by bugs since the weather is changing and my bites are healing faster than before.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Mosquito repellent: Coconut oil is used in many mosquito repellents as a natural product, rather than using Deet. Just by eating it or using it as a shampoo or face cream etc., could ward of those pesky bugs!</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Because of my auto immune disease, my joints are affected when I get sick, my immune system goes into attacked to fight and gets my healthy joints, as longs as I can stay healthy and not get sick with flu, colds, food poisoning, bug bites, even scratches, the coconut oil protects me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Coconut oil is truly the healthiest oil you can consume. It is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal, and contains no trans fat (even olive oil has some trans fat). You can even use it on your skin to help prevent wrinkles.</span></div><div style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<br />
What are ketones?<br />
<br />
Ketones are a normal and efficient source of fuel and energy for the human body. They are produced by the liver from fatty acids, which result from the breakdown of body fat in response to the absence of glucose/sugar. In a ketogenic diet, such as Atkins ... or diets used for treating epilepsy in children, the tiny amounts of glucose required for some select functions can be met by consuming a minimum amount of carbs - or can be manufactured in the liver from PROTEIN. When your body is producing ketones, and using them for fuel, this is called "ketosis".<br />

After I made the following video, it had only been 4 months since I was taking the coconut oil, now it is almost time to do a 1 year review.

<div style="color: black;"><br />
</div></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Traditional medicine among the Asian and Pacific population have used the healing properties of coconut oil extensively and to great effect. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness.</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><div style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Scientists have recently discovered the healing properties of coconut oil and how it can be used in modern medicine to treat a variety of conditions. Because it is a natural product it doesn’t contain the man made additives that are often found in similar products.</span></div></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><b><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s are some of the reasons why coconut oil is so highly regarded by me:</span></b></u></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> I have not had the flu in over 2 years</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">, I did get the regular flu shot in 2008, but in 2009 the Swine Flu shot I did not take.</span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">*Coconut oil is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial. It kills viruses that have a lipid (fatty) coating, such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, the flu,</span><span style="color: black;"> and mononucleosis. Coconut oil isn’t a cure in itself, but it does contain these properties that fight against such ailments.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />
<br />
I have not had a sore throat in a very long time, I still have my tonsils.</span><br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">I have not had yeast infections since I have been on low carb and taking coconut oil, I usually get a yeast infection if I take certain antibiotics.</span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<span style="color: black;">*It also kills the bacteria that cause pneumonia, sore throats,</span><span style="color: black;">dental cavities, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, food poisoning, pneumonia, and many more bacterial infections. It kills the fungus/yeast infections</span><span style="color: black;"> that cause candida, ringworm, athletes foot, thrush, jock itch, diaper rash and more.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">I have a lot of energy now, I do not get tired mid day, and I can walk everyday after work for 1 hour, usually 2 miles.</span><br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I fee</span>l <span style="font-weight: bold;">like it does help with weight loss, when I take the oil in the mornings, I feel a warmth, almost like a heat in my stomach, only for a short time, I am not hungry or tired</span></span><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<span style="color: black;">*Coconut oil is able to boost energy levels and endurance. It is not stored like other fats and actually breaks down much quicker within the liver and used like a carbohydrate. Athletes and bodybuilders use it as a natural supplement in sports drinks. It also increases your metabolism which is great for anyone wanting to lose weight*</span><span style="color: black;">. In fact there is a whole industry devoted to losing weight through coconut products and recipes.</span><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">I use to always have to run to the bathroom, if I got nervous, stressed or even excited, now I have no problems with my bowel habits becoming</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">out of control</span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />
</span> </div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Digestion – Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and absorption of fat soluble vitamins, minerals and amino acids thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems including irritable bowel syndrome<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span> The saturated fats present in coconut oil have anti microbial properties and help in dealing with various bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., that cause indigestion. Diabetics use it to reduce their symptoms a d the risk of diabetes is reduced with regular use of coconut oil in your cooking.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Coconut oil contains high levels of anti-oxidants which help to protect the body from free radicals and prevent degenerative diseases and premature aging.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Coconut oil is actually good for your heart despite the bad press it has received over the years. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps to prevent various heart related problems such as high ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-style: italic;"><u><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Other Coconut Oil Benefits</b></span></u><br />
<br />
</div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> I have dry scalp from medications I take and also my hair is growing faster than before, it is the longest I have had since I was a teenager</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<span style="color: black;">*Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It promotes healthy hair providing it with a shinny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry.*</span><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="color: black;">It acts as an excellent shampoo or conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams.</span><br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />

</span> </div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Stress Relief: Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I slather the oil all over my skin, and I feel refreshed</span></span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">* Skin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. But unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.</span></span><br />

</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Anti-Itch Cream: Coconut oil is anti-inflammatory, so it’s possible it would bring some relief from bug bites, as it promotes healing.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Healing Balm: Since it’s anti-inflammatory, coconut oil might be useful as a salve to speed healing of bruises, strains, and sore muscles.</span></div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">I have to try this, because recently I have been bitten by bugs since the weather is changing and my bites are healing faster than before.</span></span><br />

It is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal, and contains no trans fat (even olive oil has some trans fat). You can even use it on your skin to help prevent wrinkles.</span></div><div style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<br />
I am so happy about my hair growth, going back on low carb and my love for coconut oil, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar and learning that I can take control of my life.<br />
Cayenne pepper is an excellent source of vitamin A. It is also a good source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese and dietary fiber.<br />
This helps my arthritis, opens my sinus, and stop cravings, and also helps lower blood pressure-but please see your doctor if you have concerns or questions before taking any herbal home remedies.<br />
Cayenne pepper tea:<br />
Hot Water<br />
Cayenne Pepper (one heaping tsp to one level tbsp)<br />
Truvia, and or Stevia<br />
I will have updates on my blood pressure to see if it does lower the numbers and also I can tell my arthritis pain in my finger joint, I use as a paste over the joints.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

I have until March 2, 2012, but maybe sooner, before my position( over 7 yrs)will be eliminated. The Company's corporate decisions have been made to totally move the product line out of California and re-locate 100% to another state to merge with the other product lines, due to the economic collapse. Last year, all of manufacturing was moved out of California, for some, it was job loss, for others, it was job-relocation out of the state of California. <br />
Over the past 3-4 years, the American jobs are no longer thriving, and it gets harder and harder for people to stay employed. I fall into that trap of over 50 baby-boomers.<br />
This will be a good test for me, a test of strength, a test not to turn to food in a time when my financial life will be changing, but sometimes, we have to prepare, and I am lucky to have time to prepare for these changes. <br />
Food will be my friend, my strength, my happiness, and staying mentally healthy, making healthy choices, will make me strong through these trying times in the economic collapse.<br />

have been taking Biotin5000 MCG x1 capsule per week, I also ingest coconut oil, and add coconut oil, and cayenne pepper to my scalp as a deep conditioner, and rinse with apple cider vinegar. I am 53, my hair is thicker and healthier. My eye lashes are thicker. I apply coconut oil to my face at night and also condition my eye lashes.<br />
Potassium is an important mineral, I am drinking apple cider vinegar and water, which has alot of potassium in it, and will be trying lime and water..both give me a natural amount of potassium to help control my blood pressure, and my arthritic pain...I am under a doctor's care.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

I had such a set back in my health these past 3 months. I look back and think when did all my joints start to flare up again, and all I can say it seems to be related to my ear infection I came down with the end of June. I had all intentions to focus hard on my weight loss journey. I know what foods to eat and what foods not to eat, I know staying active is the key to keep me mentally focused too. I try not to think of the past, but look towards the future. I feel like I lost several months with the set back of my joints flaring up, and then going back on Enbrel, taking antibiotics and not really being well enough to go outside and take my evening 2 mile walk. I sat indoors most of the summer. I still have 4 months to really settle this deal, a deal with my health. I am getting ready to make a major change, a change that I did almost exactly 1 year ago. I am ready to get off my pain medications and allow my body to detox and knowing what I will go through will be a challenge to my mental dependency. I will begin slowly, cutting down on my pain medications, but if my pain becomes to unbearable, I will of course take what I need to manage. I will walk, walking is what makes me happy, and eating right, getting my body healed. It's all about adjustments in life. I go through detoxification, but it will be slowly. I will release water weight, and I look forward to seeing the scale move down, and my inches melt away. I have so much to look forward to, I am in control, I must be strong mentally.<br />
