The Benefits of Coconut Oil

Determinator, I laughed when I read that guy, with the blog, lubed himself up and made a video. I've never made a video but I do put it on my skin and hair. Once a week or so, the hair gets a deep conditioning coconut oil treatment, and I put it on my skin a couple times a week.

Spacebe, I eat it plain, right out of the jar. Lots of people cook with it. You can use it like any other fat to cook with. Where you would use butter or margarine. I don't like my regular foods to taste like coconut, so I don't do it. Only certain foods. Come to think of it, the smoothie I made this morning would have been good with the oil. So it tastes like coconut, but it's not sweet.

I think Red T posted somewhere that Vitacost might deliver to the UK. It's worth checking out. I use the organic extra virgin from Nutiva, too.

I just ate a tablespoon right out of the jar before I even saw this thread. I too am a Nutiva fan. And eating that tablespoon straight from the jar helped solidify my decision that Weight Watchers is not for me. :H

Haven't done the outside treatment yet - only the inside. Gonna half to try it.

This stuff is good for dogs too.

I have been using this coconut oil for awhile and you do get used to the taste.

I actually prefer things cooked with it

Orange sweet potatoes baked in coconut oil are to die for!!!

It is great for deep frying too!
I use it in my pesto sauce as well. I LOVE it. I use NSI VCO, and go through it like crazy.
I have a spoonful in my coffee every morning, and I cook with it.

I thin k I might get some of this, still undecided on what to use it for but I admit the thought of putting oil in coffee or tea sounds disgusting so I dont think I will try that but am looking through the other ideas tho.

I tried it in my tea today--can't say I enjoyed it. You can make a warm mocacchino(sp) protein drink and blend coconut oil in it--YUM throw a half a banana in there or raspberries Very versatile stuff.
