Coconut Oil
A truly “good fat”. This is what I would recommend people put in their emergency survival kit instead of crackers!
Enjoy this oil liberally. Coconut oil is saturated oil but a unique medium chain form that cannot be stored in the body and is readily available for energy. It is also particularly healthy for your thyroid. Be sure to choose an unrefined variety. Eat it plain (by the spoonful) to stave off in-between meal hunger. Cook with it. Coconut oil is one of the few fats that do not become rancid when heated to higher temperatures. For weight loss or to counter inflammation in the body, consider eating a tablespoon daily, preferably with breakfast.
