HCB's Journal, 08 March 2015

Greetings Buddies!

I love
Audible.com because I can download books to my iPod and listen to them. My latest book is "Living Low Carb" by Johnny Bowden PhD CNS.

He gives the history of the low-carb high-fat model and it has been around over 100 years!

So, I am realizing my NET carbs are important but TOTAL carbs per day may be the more important count - I am trying to stay around 40 TOTAL carbs and stay under 15% of my total macros every day.

I tried to put coconut oil in my smoothie before the gym - ewwww - it was lumpy even though I mixed it with my cool immersion blender! I guess I am supposed to melt it first??????

Words of the week:
If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

I am dedicated, determined, and diligent.

Greetings! I have used coconut oil in my smoothies and with the Vitamix it does work. It would work if you melted it as long as you are not putting anything really cold in your smoothie - like ice or frozen stuff. I remember once I used it to marinate some chicken. Without any thought (really, none at all!) I melted it and added the seasonings and mix in the chicken and put it in the fridge. As you can imagine the coconut oil just got hard! It can't replace olive oil all the time.. haha!

I've used coconut oil in my coffee (hot liquid) and it was OK. - can't say that I love it though.

It works in smoothies better in the liquid state even if the smoothie is ice cold. I learned that after I bit into a big chunk of coconut oil. =(

I've tossed the solid coconut in my bullet with everything else and it disappeared.
