I am on day 13 of my VLCD and have lost 14.3lbs. I started using extra virgin coconut oil 2 days ago with no problems. I made some shrimp in it, soooo good! Great explanation of coconut oil btw! I just subbed. I use Jarrow's organic ext. virg. coconut oil, I get mine from sprouts for $9.99 on sale, have always loved the stuff!

I used some coconut oil in P1 when I needed to "fry" something or as part of chocolate delight. For the most part I lost weight on P1 doing that no issues. Some people report they can't use it, so all you can do is experiment.

I agree Garden of Life is the best!

@mzrey, I use a tablespoon to saute my shrimp or talapia in when i use it.

@mswilliamsa23 How do u use the coconut oil? How much would u recommend?
-
I have a question: You say that coconut oil is ok in P2 because the body uses it immediately. Even if that is the case, the calorie value of the oil interferes with the calorie limit of the protocol menu. It adds to the 500 calories. P&I says the 500 calories are the limit. So do we need to eliminate other calories to accommodate the coconut oil?

I use Louann Coconut Oil from Walmart and my ketosis is up and I lose a 1lb or more when I use it.
Thanks for the info. I've read that the use of coconut oil in Phase 2 will make it maintaining in Phase 3 difficult. What are your experiences or what do you have to say about that?

@nerl83 I believe we should all be consuming coconut oil every day. I used in R2 (not R1) and I stabilized much better in R2.

Thank you Carol- for taking the time for us!! I have been buying the wal-mart Louanne's coconut oil, so thanks for letting me know I shouldn't get that kind.

@angalimabean The LouAnn coconut oil is inferior because it is chemically processed and refined with solvents, just like many of the other cooking oils that are sold.
