Some Amazing Benefits Of Taking Coconut Oil Every Day

I have always enjoyed most of the songs that Harry Belafonte sings, especially the slow ballads. Island in the Sun is one of the best ones.
Although there are a lot of them that I really like, this one is my very favorite.

 

I can share with you what I use it for, @Joe Riley , and there is also a lot of good information to be found online and on Youtube. I have two different kinds of coconut oil that I use. I get the virgin cold-pressed coconut oil for using in my morning bulletproof coffee, and to use just to take a spoonful of now and then.
I also bought a gallon of the yellow coconut oil that is meant for popping popcorn. It is plain oil; but added beta carotene, which gives it the yellow color, I use that for cooking where I don't want it to taste like coconut. I buy both of them from Amazon, and the virgin coconut oil, I get in the 54 oz size.
I got the Nature's way; but there are several others and as long as they are virgin coconut oil, they seem to be about the same, at least to me.
For cooking I have the gallon size Snappy's popcorn oil in yellow; but it also comes in plain white. It lasts a long time (at least for us), and I usually put some in a smaller container for ease of using it. I use this for anything that I cook that needs oil. It melts somewhere after 75-80, so in the summer it looks like a clear oil for the virgin oil, and like an orange oil for the popcorn oil.
I also softened some of the popcorn oil and whipped it up with an equal amount of regular butter, and that is what I use in place of butter on veggies. It actually tastes pretty buttery-flavored. I don't know how it would be on toast or pancakes; but on the veggies it is fine.

Each morning, I make my coffee with a spoonful of coconut oil in it, and I am bright-eyed and bushy tailed soon afterwards. I also add a couple spoonfuls of whey protein powder because this is my breakfast before we go to the health club and exercise.
I make the bulletproof coffee with my blender.
I use the serving cup, add a good spoonful of coconut oil and the protein powder, and then about 1/2 cup of plain hot coffee, which melts the coconut oil. Next, I add some cream, which cools it all down enough to use the blender, and then blend it until it is nice and creamy. Pour that in my coffee cup and then fill it up the rest of the way with hot coffee, and stir. It tastes like the creamiest latte ever ! You can use either chocolate or vanilla whey protein, or any flavor you like.
This keeps me feeling full and energized all morning while I am swimming and exercising. When I get home I am ready for a salad for lunch, and then later in the afternoon, I may make a cup of hot tea with coco oil, the exact same way as I made the coffee. If I don't want any tea, and notice my energy flagging a little, I just take a spoonful of the coco oil. It is not all that bad tasting, since it is a little bit like coconut with the smell and taste; but still not my favorite way to do it; but it works if you just want to have some right away.
Even though it energizes me during the day, it does not keep me awake at night like coffee or other caffeine would do, and I can have it before bedtime, and go right to sleep.
I recommend getting Bruce Fife's book, "The Coconut Oil Miracle" from Amazon as well; but there are also lots of good books at the Kindle store and many are free.
For losing weight, or even for dealing with health issues, then his book "The Coconut Ketogenic Diet" is also really informative, and he has other books that deal with healing different illnesses if you look through his author page on Amazon Kindle Store.
Here is the link.

I had started using it for cooking about a year ago, or maybe even two years, when I read about the dangers of the vegetable oils that we have always been told were the "good oils". I occasionally tried taking some of the virgin coconut oil; but until the coffee idea, I never found a good way to actually take it consistently and see if it did help me.
When I started that, I felt the difference in my energy levels and clear-thinking right away. I recommend this as a good way to start and find out if it helps you or not, since you do not have to use it for weeks (or even days) before you will notice results.
If I can help in any way, just message me !

 

Awesome, @Joe Riley , and starting with a smaller size while you try it out is a good way to start, just in case you find that it is not for you. I am already considering putting the VCO on subscribe, once I see how long it takes me to go through the 54 oz size that I bought, so that I know how often I need the shipments sent.
This morning I cooked my egg/spinach/cheese omelet in some of the butter mixture, and also had my morning bulletproof coffee, so I am definitely running on all eight cylinders right now, and busily rearranging things in the house !
I just moved the big stereo system into the exercise room, along with Alexa. Now, I can just say " Alexa, play my playlist favorites on Amazon music" , and she starts right in playing them. Plus, this stereo has better sound than the smaller one that I had in there before .
Next, I guess I will go in and ride the bike for a while and burn off some energy........although, I am also thinking about taking down the bedroom curtains and washing those.
Maybe both.
