i love virgin coconut oil! my mom, who’s a diabetic, has been able to get her blood sugars down to 114 for the first time in 19 years! she’s been taking the recomended amount of virgin coconut oil in the book, Virgin Coconut Oil by Brian Shilhavy & Marianita Jader Shilhavy, and as usual been watching her diet. she has now successfully gotten off of all her diabetes medicine! virgin coconut oil has proven to be incredible in my life & my family’s.

Interesting and informative video! How much coconut oil do you recommend eating in a day? Do I need to cut calories from other areas of my diet to avoid gaining weight? Thanks

No you do not need to cut down on calories. The opposite, coconut oil helps boost your metabolism and thus help lose weight.

I use a lot of coconut flour for the fiber. any other benefits?

I take my coconut oil with some raw cocoa powder and xylitol or honey mixed in. It’s really nice.

you should consume at least 3 table spoons per day, its best to break it down to one table spoon per meal, and consuming 1 tablespoon before you sleep at night to aid as a cleanser

where did u get this information
millennialgirl on January 20, 2010 at 10:43 pm
is it ok if a person ONLY consumes coconut in an oil form, or do u recommend a person consumes coconut in other ways.

@ovrth3rainbow – that’s an amazing story! great.

@germanicelt – Skip the xylitol, keep everything else. The body does not recognize xylitol as anything useful and treats it as a pathogen (stores it in FAT to keep it away from internal organs) – same goes for all artificial sweeteners. This is why switching from regular soda to ‘diet’ soda will not help anyone lose weight.

@germanicelt – Oh yeah and make sure the honey you take is organic, raw, unfiltered. The heat processed, filtered (clear) honeys are all bad for you. Cheers!

But Xylitol is not an artificial sweetener. It’s found naturally occuring in many plants.
FoodOrFail on February 1, 2010 at 7:32 am
I did not say Xylitol was artificial, I said it was not recognized as useful by the body, and thus stored in fat, like all artificial sweeteners are. Xylitol can’t rightly be called ‘natural’ either – it has to be chemically processed from the natural sugar source which is xylose. Once processed into Xylitol, it’s not even a natural sugar anymore, but in fact, is an ALCOHOL. Xylitol is a poison.

Have you ever heard of coconut sugar, and if so what is your opinion on it?
FoodOrFail on February 1, 2010 at 8:43 am
I haven’t heard of ‘coconut sugar’ per se, but I imagine there’s a fair amount of sugar in coconut. It’s usually best to avoid sugars that have been chemically removed from their natural containers. I’d just go for the actual coconut meat which contains fiber to help you properly metabolize the sugar. Basically, this is the same as with orange juice. OJ–which is very high in sugar–is not as healthy as an orange with fiber. The sugar in OJ can make you fat! Please watch: watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

What are your views on Maple syrup as a sweetener?

I’m sending you a PM, please check your mail =)

@FoodOrFail Xylitol is a sugar alcohol,
like sorbitol. Xylitol is poisonous to dogs as it releases enough insulin to plunge them into a hypoglycemic coma and kill them.
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcoholl
found in many fruits and berries.

@FoodOrFail The coconut sap from the frest frond makes a most beautiful coconut sugar we call in our traditional language ‘Kaimaimai’ It has very low GI and we boil the fresh sap and it becomes beautiful syrup like maple syrup. It is a completely natural sweetner. Some companies are now crystalizing it as coconut sugar, but we will release the product in the future as a natural coconut syrup like our Island community has been making for centuries.
