      Hi Tiswas

      It is due to my heart. I think the moderator will put the post up tomorrow. I agree with you that it sugar that is really bad. My doctor said he did not think I would have had the heart attack (blood clot) even though I smoke if it was not for drinking too much coke.

      I tried coconut oil for Fibromyalgia but could not stand the taste of it thank goodness. It is strange how they chop and change their mind of what is alright to eat.

      Regards

      Gloria

      Some saturated fat and some colesterol is needed, essential indeed.

      Sugar is difficult to avoid but processed food is easily spotted.

      If we get serious about this there are problems if we are in the habit of eating out frequently. How healthy is restauant food? How many factory products do resaurants serve as if home cooked?

      It is all so complicated that I use an old way of thinking. Use many things in moderation. That way we may not go too far off course. How many times has the media urged us to a certain course or warned us from another only to announce to opposite a few months later?

      Reading Tiswas note I think she is saying coconut oil is good but most vegetable oils / fats are not.

      I would add that animal fat needs to be organic because of the fertilisers and sprays for the grass and the hormones and antibiotics for the animals that are not organic...

      what ever they have a surples of they will try and flog you as healty

      the coconut oil i use is taste and ordur free  .the one that taste of coconut is the one used to replace butter . and spreads

      .the name of the one i use is ktc pure coconut oil  it has no taste of coconut i use it in my chip pan , and for frying because it does not become harmful after use like vegatable fats do . you can use it in baking as well . half and half 

      if you like pancakes u can make them with just spring water and flour no eggs , let the mixture stand over night and fry as normal  .save the fat and calories of the eggs .

       another thing that helped some people is getting hold of a war diet i did find it on line once helped people loose a load of weight and keep full.

      but you have to be active because its high in carbs but not fats and sugar . iv used several recipes from my war time cook book really good some of them . i esp like the war time beetroot cake sounds horriable but i love it and i am fussy . my dog liked it to .razz
