Re: HELP! I'm gaining weight using coconut oil

Aren't you supposed to replace the carbs with coconut oil in order to maintain

the caloric count for the day? Adding a real good fuel like coconut oil without

drawing back other calories is adding net calories for the day.

all good,

Thanks for the response about my weight gain.  My jar of coconut oil says that

a tablespoon is 125 calories, so that would be 250 extra calories a day for the

last 30 days.  I'm sure I need to cut back on carbs more, etc.  I don't wish

to stop using the coconut oil.....I've learned so much on this site about the

benefits, and I do feel that it is doing me good......

> HELP! I've been taking coconut oil for about 4 weeks now, one tablespoon in

the morning, and one more later in the day. I also do oil pulling with it first

thing in the morning. Nothing else has changed in my diet or exercise level,

and I've gained 5 pounds. I do feel some benefits from it (better gums, teeth,

less pain in my neck and shoulders), but I surely don't need to be gaining

weight. Has this happened to anyone else? Any thoughts? Thank you....

Hi, Sometimes cereals, grains, rice and potatoes combined with coconut oil cause

the body to increase its weight. You might want to experiment with cutting out

carbohydrates to see if that helps you lose the weight you've gained. This

suggestion comes from personal experience.

250 extra calories a day for a month only translates into 7500

additional calories, and at 3500 calories per pound, that only equals

2-1/7 pounds, at the traditional way of looking at calories/pound. My

personal experience is that my weight loss attempts are more

successful if I cut out carbs.
