My husband put my coconut oil in the refrigerator and now it is hard to get any out. Is it okay to store it not refrigerated now?
What do you know about CO that we don't. Please sharedturney said:You folks should look in your arteries you will find a lot of your coconut oil there.....![]()
Coconut oil consists largely of a certain type of saturated fatty acid. One tablespoon of coconut oil contains 117 calories and 13.6 grams of sat fat.What do you know about CO that we don't. Please share
If you are using coconut oil to help control diabetes? Any type of fat will not spike your BG, however, it is converted into energy and needs insulin for that conversion. Insulin supplies the body with energy. You can try everyway in the world to not use insulin , but the end result is, you will use insulin to supply energy to your body or you will die. Every living being on this earth uses insulin even the earth worm….Although eating coconut oil in moderation for a short-term diet probably won't harm your health, it may not help you lose weight. And keep in mind that coconut oil actually has more saturated fat than do butter and lard. For successful, long-term weight loss, stick to the basics, an overall healthy-eating plan and exercise.

Please correct me but surely "mixed results" implies that in terms of weight loss it works sometimes and others not? Is that the same as when you say "it may not help you lose weight" because surely it is just as logical to say "it may help you lose weight"...the few research studies that have specifically examined coconut oil — or the type of fatty acids it contains — have shown mixed results for weight loss.
First of all, I suggest you read a few articles about MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) before making any direct comparison between coconut oil and other saturated fats, like butter, etc. I eat them all and have nothing against any of them, but MCTs are VERY different, follow a completely different metabolic pathway in the body and have very different effects. No need to go into details, you can read about it yourself.Coconut oil consists largely of a certain type of saturated fatty acid.

You don't know "sic 'em"? LOL. You really have a way with words! That's one I hadn't heard.Okay, now that we've got that out of our system, there'll be no more baiting. Don, you don't know sic 'em about coconut oil except what you've read online. Many if not most of the people here are actually using it and discovering amazing benefits.
There is no coconut oil in our arteries - in fact, what's clogging your arteries is no doubt the carbs you've eaten your whole life. Our bodies manufacture 85% of the cholesterol we need, and dietary fat supplies energy, not plaque in our arteries.
Thanks for explaining about the MCT, Salim - saved me the trouble.
You mean you've never heard of a dog that "doesn't know sic 'em from come here"?You don't know "sic 'em"? LOL. You really have a way with words! That's one I hadn't heard.
I like that. I'm glad you explained it, because I've never heard it before.You mean you've never heard of a dog that "doesn't know sic 'em from come here"?![]()

I store mine in the spice cupboard above the stove. I'm sure that's a faux pas, but hey - it's how I roll. In the real hot summer months, it was liquid. In the winter it is almost like candle wax.My husband put my coconut oil in the refrigerator and now it is hard to get any out. Is it okay to store it not refrigerated now?
Yes I have been eating LCHF for over 3 years now and all my health markers (BG, BP, cholesterol etc...) are excellent... including a recent Stress ECG where they pushed the treadmill up to the limit they are allowed on the test, and I still passed with flying colours.I use it in conjunction with olive oil, butter, bacon grease and lard.
Considering I continue to lose weight and my cholesterol continues to go down, I guess I'll continue believe that natural saturated fats are what the human body was meant to consume... not oils made up in a laboratory.
