No you do not need to cut down on calories. The opposite, coconut oil helps boost your metabolism and thus help lose weight.

Interesting and informative video! How much coconut oil do you recommend eating in a day? Do I need to cut calories from other areas of my diet to avoid gaining weight? Thanks

This is the perfect …
This is the perfect example of additives or other impurities when virgin coconut oil does not quickly solidfy between 18-22C. Pure VCO will quickly turn solid as soon as the temperature drops. I would be extremely wary of any type of supposed VCO that did not do this. In fact, there is no way that it could be considered to be VIRGIN coconut oil if it stays liquid.

I have two bottles …
I have two bottles of coconut oil and one forms a solid (room temp is 20 C) and the other remains a liquid. Do you know which is better in quality? Thanks.

No not possible as …
No not possible as the coconut once cut open will quickly ferment and spoil within 24 hours. That is why VCO has to be processed quickly to keep the oil as fresh as possible and remove the high moisture content to stop the oil fermenting.

How about leaving …
How about leaving it under the sun for extraction of the oil? Can the same oil be used to drink and apply on the skin and hair? Thanks.

Yes there is a big …
Yes there is a big difference between long chain fatty acids normally found in saturated fats and also trans fat. The great difference with Virign Coconut Oil is that it is a medium chain fatty acid. A different fatty acid molocule. This is where the misunderstanding comes in.

Once you boil fresh …
Once you boil fresh coconut oil over 60 degrees (boiling) you destroy the important Vitamin E content. That is why cold pressing is the best. I do not recommend boiling or wet milling for this reason.

Is cold pressed …
Is cold pressed better than boiled coconut oil?
