Are you seriously eating coconut oil?

My friend told me her husband started eating coconut oil because he heard what great benefits it has. She didn’t bother telling him what a bad idea that was because he doesn’t listen to her advice anyway. After two months he complained of stomachaches and weight-gain. She laughed and said, “It’s the coconut oil you’re eating, you idiot!”

Coconut oil is a high-calorie saturated fat. It has more calories than butter and traditional oils. I like to sauté vegetables in a teaspoon of coconut oil not only because I love the tropical flavor but also because not much is needed in comparison to other oils when stir-frying.

You can still have your coconut oil, just use it sparingly. It’s still has calories and fat, and just like any other food, it CAN make you fat.
