Hi Liz,
The benefits of coconut oil are mainly from the nutrient value of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). The best comparison in nature as to the percentage of MCFAs being consumed in a diet is human breast milk. To equal the amount of MCFAs a nursing infant would receive in one day, 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.

Hello-I am new to this forum and wanted to know if anyone is using Coconut Oil in conjunction with a low-carb diet. I am doing Atkin's and have lost about 16 lbs. in 3 weeks. I am using VCO, but not consistently. How many tbsps. would be best to take? I really want to lose weight and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
