Subject: Re: A Little Help Thyroid is Low [Forum: Thyroid Health ]
Hi Nat,
An adult would need to consume about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil a day according to researchers. Since coconut oil in nature is packaged inside the coconut meat, it is recommended to consume this amount throughout the day with food high in fiber and protein. However, for those not used to coconut oil in their diet, it is best to start out with an amount far less than this first, to see how your body reacts.
You also need to reduce the amount of carbohydrates that you're consuming to balance your caloric intake.
It is also good replace your vegetable oils, especially hydrogenated oils, with the healthy oils.
Here are many ways to use coconut oil and incorporate it into one’s diet. Since it is a stable cooking oil, one can simply replace unhealthy oils in their diet with coconut oil. Since it is a solid most of the time at room temperature or when refrigerated, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking. Any recipe calling for butter, margarine, or any other oil can be substituted for coconut oil. It is popularly mixed in with “smoothies.”
Many people do eat it simply by the spoon full. If you refrigerate or freeze Virgin Coconut Oils the taste changes completely, and some describe it like a “candy” or “white chocolate.” Some people fill up ice cube trays with coconut oil and then store them in the freezer. Some people use it as a spread, and a lot of people put it into their coffee or tea. For coconut recipes you can go to www.freecoconutrecipes.com

Hi I'm just starting back with coconut oil, I used it several years ago when I was Hyperthyroid...not much change then but I did notice that I felt better over all. Now I'm hypothyroid and have been on Synthroid for a year and every time I get my labs checked I have to have my meds increased, this doesn't seem right, so I am taking matters into my own hands! I have been taking at least 2 tablespoons a day, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best amount to take is, sometimes it is hard for me to get down, depending on the day but if you guys all say that it has helped you I'm SO SO SO going to do it! I need this to get better! Please help.
