Hi Barb! Really great to see you had such great results using coconut oil to lose weight. While I have a fairly low body fat level, I found coconut oil really helps me 'tighten up' my abs and the energy boost is great, isn't it? I found I can push right through my bodybuilding work-outs with good energy levels. I think virgin coconut oil is a superior source of energy - and you get this energy without the jittery, tremor-inducing side effects common with many caffeine loaded workout energy drinks. I wish you continued success with your fitness plans!
