Just be careful of hidden carbs in packets of Splenda- bulked up w/ dextrose. I use saccharin liquid. (I'm going to attempt making sucralose liquid- found sucralose on ebay.)
Anyway, sounds similar to the CO chocolates that I found somewhere on these threads...
3/4 C CO, 4tbl cocoa pwd- sweeten to taste & put in ice cube trays in fridge. I keep them in a bag in my fridge for PMS/emergencies (OK almost every day!!!)

Hey Everyone -

I was wondering how much coconut oil everyone was taking per day???

I take minimum 2T, and I went most of a month taking 3T

However, I felt like my calories where a bit too high and cut back to 2T.

For the month of April I lost 5lbs and several days ago I cut my calories to around 1400 for the last two days and I lost 1 lb making it 6 total. yippee!!

Lets hear how much everyone is taking....

Just curious, thanks.

Say, while you're at it - I'm curious about whether everyone is taking those tablespoons *of virgin cold-pressed coconut oil* and whether you're taking it raw or heating it significantly (not just melting it but using it for frying). That would be helpful to know, to anecdotally parcel out the benefits of the raw, raw, raw coconut oil point of view.

I take the organic virgin coconut oil that tastes and smells like coconut. Tropical Traditions brand.

I take it by the tablespoon full and/or I heat it to melt it so I can add cinnamon to it.

I cook my eggs in it and I add it to veggies but I dont fry anything in it. Not that I wouldnt. I have heard that co holds up better under high heat than any other veg or seed oil, so if I did any frying I would use co.

My favorite way is still coconut bark. Made another huge batch today....

Also, I am getting better about just eating the co right off the spoon at times. I also put the spoon in my mouth to get all the oil from it when cooking with it...

Ahhh, oh so good!

i use it and make coconut bark. i just got use to eating it this way. but it has to be really cold so i keep it in the freezer. i also cook my eggs in it. i love the taste but the oily feeling of it on the spoon. ohhh i also make chocolate shots with it. melt a little and add some coco powder and splenda. then take it just like a shot. but it sometimes has an aftertaste of the oil.

My main use of coconut oil (Nutiva is delish--very neutral tasting) is in frying up meat, chicken, vegetables. I used to use olive oil but read in a scientific study that the oil least altered by heat is coconut oil. I do not eat any sweets of any kind right now--not even homemade sugar-free ones. Trying to retrain to a fat tooth, not a sweet tooth...
