Virgin Coconut Oil

[MDC1976]

Anyone using virgin coconut oil in their diet? I've heard it is rich in many things pertinent to a bodybuilders nutritional needs. I am wanting to gauge peoples different uses of it and doses? Cheers!

Its health benefits are somewhat controversial; i tried it myself for awhile and all i noticed was that my skin and hair seemed a bit oilier (i had the same problem when i took excesses of vitamin E and lecithin). apparantly it does a lot of the good things that flaxseed oil does; it certainly tastes good, and you can use it just as you would butter. please let us know if you have any results with it!

not good for you. clogs arteries. i lived on coconut for about a month, and my craps were all messed up too. avoid it.

i think the messed up craps are from the MCT's, coconut oil is supposed to be like 50% MCT's.

in my experience, anymore than 2 tablespoons (and sometimes not even that much) will send a person running to the toilet.
