This video is a follow-up to Missy's post yesterday on the benefits of coconut oil. After watching the video many of us non-believers will be rushing to the grocery store to make our first purchase. KurtS
Kurt, if you want your instant fix, Giant carries Nutiva Organic Unrefined that is out of this world. Costs about $11 for a 15oz jar. Lasts me at least a month and I eat it on EVERYthing. Eggs cooked in coconut, nothing like it! I haven't tried the brand Missy and Dave suggest but can't imagine a better tasting coconut oil then this.
Between the WOD pic and the oil talk....it reminds me of the scene in the Sandlot when Squints can't take anymore of the oiling and lotioning from Wendy Peffercorn.
Nicole and I use Nutiva from giant too! But we went through it too quickly and found that the larger containers were cheaper. So we actually went to vitaminshoppe and got a 54oz container for $30. Wegmans also has a 29oz container for $16
After looking at that site and the sale thats going on I'm almost tempted to get the gallon haha.
Russ, Thanks for referencing one of my favorite movies! Great Quotes: Squints " I've been coming here every summer of my adult life, and every summer there she is oiling and lotioning, lotioning and oiling! I can't take this no more!"
"I've been planning it for years!" Porter: "You can count on it, pee drinking crap face!" Benny referencing people who pick and choose their Crossfit WOD's: "Anyone who wants to be a can't-hack-it pantywaist who wears their mama's bra, raise your hand"
I'm pushing any particular brand of oil. However, this chart shows some differences in the type of c oil. So if you don't like the coconut taste, there are types you can get. comparison
So the article that Kurt posted talks about the ketones in coconut oil, while the people in the video are still eating crap food. Eat a cleaner ketogenic diet (high protein, low carb) would give the same ketone effect on the brain.
Love the posts on coconut oil. Thanks for everyone's input.
Kacie glad you found that video inspirational. Lets try some of these moves with you. (Snatch, KBS, Cleans) Injuries don't keep crossfitters from moving forward.
Dan I am feeling more and more sore as the evening is rolling on. My chest and traps, lower back are definitely sore!
Safe travels to everyone going out tonight in the snow flakes.
Note: coconut oil straight from the container tastes like I took a bite off of the glue stick from kindergarden. I was feeling a little under the weather today so Tanya gave me a spoonful straight from the jar. Thats just weird.
for some reason cans that used "guar gum" separated better so go for those. Giant has organic can coconut milk for $2.25. They had a sale recently for 1.88 but i cleared the whole self haha sorry

Let it snow, let it snow!
@Kurt - this is where I get my coconut oil (by the gallon)
Tropical Traditions
For those of you making smoothies, this is something great to add in.
BDD
Thanks for posting that link, Kurt. I'll be using coconut oil more now that I know it's not just a good fat. ;)
And the coconut oil debate continues...

That should have been "I'm not pushing ..."
we should get some kind of forum going on the apex site so we can exchange this info i like this!
