2.0 out of 5 stars Weight gainBy Anna on October 24, 2011
I checked out this book at the public library. It is well written and interesting. However, I started ingesting 3 TBL of coconut oil daily. I am a 51 year old female, 5ft 5″ @ 123 lbs. At first, I lost 4 lbs. However, after a month, I gained up to 125 lbs. I think I originally lost, because the oil upset my stomach and it does clean out your system. So it did NOT rev up my metabolism or give me energy. I cook with it, and use it in my hair, but that’s it. I stopped taking it by itself and went down 3 lbs. At first it cured my sugar cravings, but only for a couple weeks. I think it can do good, but do not take it just to lose weight, it won’t happen.
