I do Co before bed and sleep fine too. I also If so it helps that for sure. Today again I noticed how quickly I filled up with less than my normal amount at a meal. Hopefully the calorie deficit and the CO means I'll see some weight loss soon!

Folks, I am thinking about going on a limb and trying sugar water maybe next week or so to see if it has the same impact as oil does. Curious, I suppose, and wanna see if a LF version if possible.

Let us know how that works for you.

Seems I lost a little weight. I have been walking more and I have been cutting back on fat calories, but still my percentage of calories from fat is high. The AS helps keep calories at a resonable place. and I am making sure to stop eating every night by 7 pm, breakfast is not until 8 or 9, and if not hungry, then I only have coffee with a tad of cream. yesterday i added a scoop of whey powder and i felt fine, even lifted heavy things at the gym for an hour.
so i think the Shangri-la thing works to keep appetite in check, but its not magic weight loss. the other things i do, with fewer calories to mess them up, is what is pushing the tiny weight loss. Not complaining, just an observation FWIW.
Good luck all!

I have finally caved in and bought some refined coconut oil. Trying to use virgin CO with my nose pinched was just too difficult especially as I was getting a residue after taste. Also in the quantities I will be consuming it, it is jut too expensive. So I have bought some KTC Pure Coconut oil, which has not been hydrogenated in any way, and they don’t use hexane in the refining process. Best of all it’s ½ the cost of grass fed butter. I will switch to 1 shot of this during the day & the virgin CO at night.

Hopefully the AS will kick in soon

I only pop in and out, so can I just quickly ask w/o starting at the beginning, what is AS?

i find refined CO and extra-light olive oil work well. i've been doing 1 T. of each in hot water (to melt CO) once a day, sometimes every other day lately. it works for me. sometimes i add a T of heavy cream to the water, too, and it still has no taste.
good news, I finally lost two pounds over the last 2 days. we'll see how it goes.

Just wanted to post a little update... the EVOO is defo working! I'm less hungry generally, my last meal is before 7pm and I rarely eat after that... I have my EVOO for 'breakfast' and then I have a small snack at around 11am! Before the EVOO I would be ready to eat anything by that time.
The scale has actually moved... it is just a pound, but this is the first time in 18mths, so something is definitely workiking! Probably the combination of low carb, higher fat and less food overall! I defo think the not eating after tea time is helping.

I am not expecting miracles, a pound every week or two would be fine, I am in no rush - Hey! I've been at this weight for so long now and maintaining with ease. But to see 163 lb on the scale is such a great feeling! Perhaps this is the end of a very long stall?

Thanks heatseeker for starting this thread and making me rethink my diet!

Hope everyone else is doing well...
