Re: Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is da BOMB!! I've been using it since October last year, but not as regularly as I should. For frying without the coconut taste (eggs, some meats) I use the organic expeller pressed from Tropical Traditions-get the gallon. For flavor, I get the Rexall one in the supplement aisle at WallyWorld. Do NOT use the Louan co that is with the other oils- it is poor grade and as bad as soybean oil!

I make oil and vinegar dressing with it- just need to warm before serving if refridgerated; make homemade mayo that stays soft even in the fridg; eat it with peanut butter, mash it in diet Swiss Miss before adding the hot water, and with HWC- no oil slick; have baked asparagus and brussels sprouts in it- also jicama; use it as the oil for One Minute Muffins, and cakes with coconut flour and coconut milk. Fried fish in it, spread it on flax wraps or romaine leaves before adding filling. If you can think it, you probably can do it with coconut oil!

As Nike (I think) says: "Just Do It!"

Re: Coconut Oil

does that have any carbs? sugar? induction friendly

Re: Coconut Oil

Ashley -- here is a link about coconut oil. Coconut Research Center Home Page It is induction friendly

Re: Coconut Oil

The oil is just that- oil, and is induction friendly. If you make it into anything, ie; cocoa mix, cakes, etc. THEY will have carbs.

Re: Coconut Oil

Again I am here to sing the praises of Coconut Oil. Love it love it love it. I thought that maybe It might have been stalling me, because i hadn't lost in nearly 4 weeks. But I continued to use it, because i love it, and was thinking about giving it up, because i tend to over consume. The other day I ate the whole batch i made.. thinking hmmm maybe i shouldn't buy it anymore. But then just a day and half after i did that, whoosh! 5 more lbs. gone! I am almost to One-derland.. oh gosh oh gosh, Here I come. Down hill from here is my thinking.

Re: Coconut Oil

I started cooking with coconut oil about 2 weeks ago after reading an article in a magazine. I hadn't thought about eating the stuff straight from the container though. I tried it tonight, and the taste was not bad. The texture takes some getting used to.

Re: Coconut Oil

So how is everyone liking the coconut oil?? I am still using it and absolutely love it! I couldn't find it on the shelves for a about 4 days, and was having withdrawls.

I love the way it makes my chicken tastes with a little Chili roasted garlic seasoning..cook till done, then chop the chicken up and put it on a bed of fresh spinach leaves, have a little warm coconut oil reserved to drizzle on the spinach prior to the chopped chicken... the heat of the warm chicken softens the leaves a little, and it is delicious. My new favorite!

A little extra goodie for the above spinach salad. It is soo good! I had a little left over chicken bits in the pan from earlier, and it dried out just a little from the heat of the pan. I had also just finish toasting some unsweetend coconut, and toasted some pecans as well. So as I am cleaning up , I am thinking , what shame to waste this little bit of chicken, about a 1/4 c., so i figure it would be kind of like bacon bits on a salad... better yet!! I tossed it with some of the toasted coconut and pecans, make about 1 c. of salad crumbles.. This just made my spinach salad very exotic and yummy! Try IT!

Re: Coconut Oil

Laciepie, I can't tell any difference with my weight loss, but then I don't eat the 3 tablespoons a day that I've read makes the difference.

However, I also LOVE frying my chicken breast strips (and anything else I fry) in coconut oil. It seems to give a crispier result than canola oil.

Your chicken with chili roasted garlic seasoning on a bed of lettuce sounds wonderful! And so do the salad crumbles!!!

I bought some coconut from the health food store, got it home, tasted it -- and it was sweetened. So I have to go back and get some unsweetened. When I do, I will try your salad topping recipe.

Thanks!

Re: Coconut Oil

I am a complete coconut oil convert! I bought some at my local health food store - it was a bit pricey, but worth every penny to me. I mix it with green tea and easily get my three tablespoons-worth in. Someone said they didn't like the way it made their lips feel after drinking it...yes, it is a bit oily, but I discreetly wipe my lips with my finger and rub the oil onto my rather dry elbows - they are softening up nicely.

Have also fried a few prawns in a tablespoon of the oil and added a little garlic, then served on a bed of green salad leaves with a tablespoon of cream. Very enjoyable light dinner for me.
