Virgin Coconut Oil Vs. Refined - Which One to AVOID

Hey Thomas wanted to tell you I went to my doctor and in one wk of doing healthy keto I lost 12 lbs! Thank you thomas you help me so much xoxo

The way I'm working out I believe it's fat. Just saying don't be a baa hum bug

[@enolala]

My diet is based on virgin coconut in my tea or coffee :) lost 60 lb just changing my diet with virgin coconut. My metabolism now is so high I burn 2 kilos every week at least... no carbs in my food only salad greens and few tomatoes... and eggs and fish... never constipated anymore... my brain is working over the charts and I feel fantastic never had any cholesterol and my blood is great... so yeah virgin coconut is good to prolonged fasting and boost my metabolism ;) with kind regards from Nola ;)

None of my friends from Papua New Guinea or any of the Pacific Islands use much coconut oil. What they do use is the whole coconut. They even feed it to their dogs. I learned from them the right way to include coconuts in my diet.

[@alenasenie6928]

I mean, why go the extra steps, it would be a waste of time traditionally to separate the parts just to mix them together again, there is no correct way to use it, there are different ways for different goals, if you only want a meal there is no sense in separating the components, if you want to maximize one property then it does

For those of us that are of a certain age, we grew up w movie theaters actually popping the pop corn in the lobby & they used coconut oil. Then in the early 80s a group of ppl decided based on studies that coconut oil was bad & agitated to stop theaters from using it. the theaters went to buying pre-popped corn that they put under warmers.

[@johannalacson5259]

Yes, virgin coconut oil is pressed and so it doesn't go through the heating or boiling process. Virgin coconut oil is best for food and other cosmetics too. Thank you dr. for giving a clear explanation.

[@silversaver82]

Thanks for talking about this, Thomas. I love my virgin coconut oil.

[@jameskelly6479]

I use to eat cold pressed. There is a taste to it compared to processed. I used it to loose weight for a while. I put one tbs. in my coffee in the morning to kill my appetite for the whole day.

[@mjz16]

So which to use? I have a lot recipes with refined coconut oil. They say not to use virgin coconut oil.

[@mojabunni]

What is "refined coconut oil" exactly? Is that the same thing as liquid coconut oil? I have a bottle of organic liquid coconut oil (nutiva brand) that says it is 98& MCTs. I assume this is not "refined"?

[@JohnDHair]

Those nutiva organic ones you mentioned are not refined

[@alenasenie6928]

The difference is how they got it, refined used heat, unrefined is mechanically, if you read the label of the unrefined it should say something like "cold compress ", in Spanish is "prensado en frio" really, you shouldn't buy any oil that doesn't say that, the sunflower oil that I have always used (now in low quantity) is of that kind, the difference with other brands is huge, it is also cheaper, once in the supermarket someone saw me buying that one and said something like "ugh that oil for poor people" then I saw it was the cheapest one, so it was cheap and better.

[@HufflepuffDaddy]

If buying the jar, Nutiva have the word "refined" on the front label itself. It says "organic superfood" in front too. I don't know if they sell a "virgin" version. Maybe?

[@davidbrachetto1420]

@@JohnDHair not true - “liquid coconut oil” is technically refined.

[@rebecca3745]

The furry things are bad opening is very funny! "Tickled my funnybone" 😊. I put my cold protein shake in a wide flat bowl, then drizzle coconut oil all over the top.

I only use TJ's organic coconut oil because it tastes so good.

[@MattyLight30]

What about pan frying your meats and eggs with Virgin C.O.? Is there any additional benefits to Keto or carnivore?

[@wakjob961]

I recently took a break from ALL oils... I'm feeling pretty good. I think I was just overdoing with the CCnut and EVOO everyday for 2 years.

[@joegt123]

Don't underdo it, either. Jeff Cavalier had some things to say about the negative effects of cutting out healthy fats when he was younger.

[@HufflepuffDaddy]

Yeah, good call. I'm going to put away the Coconut Oil (saturated fat) for awhile but stick with EVOO (mono unsaturated) and try Grapeseed Oil (poly unsaturated) for a couple of months and see if there's a difference. I think saturated may be giving me stubborn fat. Have to find out.

[@2SelfBTrue]

I have been using Costco Kirkland brand coconut oil for over 6 years. The new one I bought in June 2022 has a metallic taste to it? It is also separating different than it has before.. Do you know if they have started suing something else in it or changed it somehow?

[@donna7507]

Not sure it’s the same but in skin care oil melts oil so when you cleanse your skin it’s best to use an oil based cleanser to melt the sebum in the skin so maybe eating good fats will melt the fat in body? 🤔 eat less and move more! Eat everything in moderation

[@eternaldiamondz]

[@susaz7694]

HI! I would really appreciate if someone explained something to me. In a Keto diet i can eat up to 20g of carbs per day (give or take). Potato chips have 40g of net carbs per 100g. Which means i could eat 50g of potato chips per day and still meet the daily quota of carbs in a keto diet. Is this correct? Could i actually do this? Thanks in advance.

[@alenasenie6928]

Is not a good idea, since potato chips are high in carbs and fat, the ideal is not to eat carbs with fat, and it is better if you use the maximum carbs to eat vegetables. That would be like 4%of you daily calories lost in something with no nutritional value, it would be better to just eat a potato, ideally after it gets cold Tldr, you can but you shouldn't

[@HufflepuffDaddy]

On strict keto, you would limited to 20 net carbs of potato chips or 20 net from the 50 total carbs (100 ÷ 2 = 50). Sorry but that would be your only meal. That's where intermittent fasting comes in. Please look for good keto recipes and you can eat better and more fuller per 20 carbs. If you're starting out don't kill yourself -- keep carbs under 50 at first and then try working your way down.

[@pauletteneely3174]

Potato chips are cooked in such bad oils that they are not good for you no matter the carbs. I had a dr tell me that anything in the chip isle at the grocery is bad for you.

[@susaz7694]

@@HufflepuffDaddy I'm doing OMAD with a Keto diet for 7 weeks now. Problem is, i'm eating out with co-workers everyday. I'm always either eating grilled meat with salad or grilled fish with salad/vegetables. I can't stand it anymore. i literally want to vomit everytime i see that type of food in front of me. In my country we either use rice, potatoes and pasta for every single dish. I'm from Portugal and we have an amazing varied cuisine. I dropped sugar really easy but the other carbs are more difficult due to the type of dishes that we have. I can't even eat beans! Doing OMAD i could eat a handful of chips with a meal, or a tablespoon of rice and it would completely change the dish. It's not that i'm craving carbs, it's that i'm at a point that i'd rather not eat than eat a grilled steak with salad again. i'm that desperate.

[@HufflepuffDaddy]

@@susaz7694 omg! Your regular food is like a feast to me, lol. Sounds great! But I would just eat the meat and veggies (keto) and stay away from rice and pasta (carbs) but that would be hard because they are filling and satisfying. You can try tho. Hey, a cheat meal of potato chips isn't bad if you have the discipline (OMAD) to stop and then use Psyllium husk later to clear it out. I bet if you cut your own potatoes slices and pan-fry or deep-fry them in coconut oil they would be healthier. Your OMAD allows you to "cheat" every now and then. It's brutal so don't feel guilty for rewarding yourself sometimes...only sometimes.
