Speaking of coconut oil...

Has anyone tried coconut oil capsules (instead of the actual oil)? Is there any good reason not to use them and if you do use them, are they effective?

Okay, I give. What are you taking them in capsule form for?

The only thing I use coconut oil for (and LOVE) is my hair. I heat it up and leave it on for a few hours. I have long hair and it makes it incredibly soft and shiny!

Hi Christine-
We've been having an on-going discussion about the use of coconut oil as an appetite suppressant. Someone on the board suggested taking 2 teaspoons mixed with warm water and apple juice 1 half hour before eating to avoid over eating. I'm not sure if this would work in capsule form because I suspect the reason it may work is the high fat content of the oil. I'm not sure what the fat content of the capsule would be and if it would be enough to make a difference in appetite.

Well, that explains it. I've only been "lurking" on here again for a few days so I'm a little out of touch...

Thanks, Carolyn!
