If you do get some, pay attention if its virgin coconut oil and how its processed. Because that will determine how much lauric acid (which is a mid-chain fatty acid) it contains. You don't want any hull pieces in there either because of mycotoxins. I like Nutiva, Garden of Life, Tropical Traditions, Barleans, anything at Trader Joes works too. I use it in place of stick butter, ounce per ounce for baking, bakes the same way, just way healthier. Chocolate chip cookies are outrageous! I saute my eggs in it too. I use it in place of milk with my protein, melt it in the microwave and pour into 6 ounces of water and a scoop of protein or whatever, and mix it up in the mini-blender. Coconut fires up your thyroid (lauric acid) and seriously, that will keep me full until lunch. I don't know how tall or big you are, but one tablespoon is what I use in the morning. I wouldn't go over that or you will be adding too many calories, so be careful there. But you also need enough for it to be effective. I like it better then milk, so I trade the calories.
CLA you buy is made from sunflower oil, or maybe safflower too, depends on the manufacturer. In your diet though, cla is obtained from beef/milk/cheese products and you aren't getting that if you are a vegetarian. You need to take at least a gram of that a day for it to be effective. Take it with food and if you have positive results, that's great. If not, that stuff is expensive. You could also take a look at Evening Primrose Oil and Salmon Oil.
