A: You gain weight when your average daily caloric intake exceeds your average activity levels. But, it's important to remember that calories are a measure of heat energy, NOT FAT. Changing your eating habits to real, nutrient dense food will stimulate the metabolism and boost your energy. To that effect coconut oil acts a catalyst to boost metabolism, aid the absorption of vital fats and vitamins WITHOUT making you gain weight as most of the fats and high calorie nutrient deficient foods do.
A: Try different coconut oils. Some have a strong coconut flavor while others do not. Our coconut oil does not have a strong coconut flavor - it has a very light coconut flavor and taste which is very hard to detect once you have cooked with it. Because I use coconut oil in so much of my cooking, I do not like the strong coconut flavor. There is no need to have your scrambled eggs taste like coconut.
A: Yes, I would highly recommend that. Coconut oil is one of the only oils that does not break down when heated therefore it is the optimum oil to use.
