I heard about coconut oil and magic, and I'm glad we have somebody here who has a real good experience about it.
So I took my virgin coco oil bottles out and use 2 tablespoons a day in my cereals and 2 over my apple with cinnamon one hour before dinner.
I do feel that I need less food. (Still the ultimate test is next week when those monthly cravings are setting in

)
And it might be water, but I lost 1 kg of body weight.
Oh and......I feel so good the last couple of days....so let's see next week
Take care,
