I was on a mini-plateau and I think it got things moving again! Both figuratively and literally, lol -- on today's walk we were 2 miles from home when I really needed to poo BADLY (tmi, sorry!) and thank goodness we were only a few minutes from a park with a bathroom. I totally blame the coconut oil, I cook with it but on an empty stomach with coffee, it may take some getting used to!

Except for this addition of fat in the morning, I am still only eating once a day. I also haven't been getting hungry until 1:30 or 2 as opposed to noon. I want to eventually have my one meal at dinner time with the family, but I think that is a maintenance goal and I'll probably add a CS between 11-1 at that time. But loving the once a day meal right now!


I have heard coconut oil can do that but I was eating up to 3TBSP a day with my lunch and never noticed a difference. I tend to be on the constipated side of things so I wouldn't mind the "poo" effect! LOL Luckily I eat so many veggies I am for the most part normal anyways. Just stick with it and be scientific about it. If you are slowly losing then I would count it as a success. If you keep plateau or gaining then you will have to change something. I can't drink even black decaf outstide of my carb hour or I gain!
