Where do you get your coconut oil from?

My nutritionist designed my meal plan around 6-8 tablespoons of coconut oil per day and I was actually losing weight. There was no calorie counting verbalized when making the meal plan. Basically she said for my body weight I must eat 100 g of protien per day, which I get from Whey protein, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, hemp seed, chicken, salmon. She then said I must eat whole vegetables at every meal, which I have 3 cups (at least), comprised of at least two from kale, brocolli, red cabbage, carrots. I also consume berries and large oat flakes every day. I must say I feel fantastic and the parting words from my family doctor were "I fully support whatever you are doing, keep it up" |

Make sure it is organic, virgin, cold-pressed |
so your're advocating a ketogenic diet?
curious as to how you take the oil - all at once or divided dosages - do you add it to food? and it took how long to see an affect on pd symptoms? also curious what pd meds you are on and dosages. |

I just eat it. (3 + 2) morning, 3 noon, 3 dinner. I'm always experimenting on the timing. I'll feel the effects wearing off, but it takes a few hours for the new dosage to kick in, so it can be a bit of a roller coaster ride sometimes. I started noticing PD symptoms fading after about a month at dosage level of 6-8 TBS a day. I keep a daily diary. Meds 3 x 1.5 x 100mg/25mg levocarb and 3 x 1 x 1.5mg mirapex and 2 x 1 x 2mg trihex |
I didn't even catch the ketogenic diet. Thanks for pointing that out Soccertese.
I thought that taking a few tablespoons of coconut oil would help with PD symptoms. I think I jumped the gun. I am not into ketogenic stuff as I know someone with seizures that tried it, and it's ugly how it turned out to be. |

I am hooked on coconut oil just for the outstanding blood work. Statins did nothing for my cholesterol. |

Satwar Thanks for your excellent responses. I'm going to follow your suggestion and bump up my dose. I'll let you know how it goes. I will also make some diet adjustments. How long at 6 to 8 tablespoons before you realized it was the oil kicking in and improving your situation?
