2. Only drink water, NOTHING else! How about coffee? Just to keep any possible withdrawal headaches at bay, one small cup of organic black coffee is ok. Can you add half and half?…Well is it white?

3. Don’t eat anything with the word wheat in the ingredients list. What if it’s whole wheat? Look, if the word starts with W and ends in T and has the letters h-e-a in between, you can’t eat it.

I love talking about coconut oil so you will have to forgive me if I sound like a broken record. But I think one of the main reasons people feel hungry is because our cells are not feeling nourished. That’s why when I started cooking with coconut oil, my food cravings diminished because I was eating a good fat.

Coconut oil nourishes body cells so completely that I feel full with a regular amount of food. I do try to stick to food that is healthy in the first place like brown rice, chickpeas (I like dark chickpeas), fruits and vegetables, fresh meat, etc. But I don’t obsess about it like I used to.

I’ve noticed that my sugar cravings are few and far between. I think hunger is a sign of the body’s cells starving. Hunger is not dependent on the amount of food but the quality of the food. And coconut oil makes feeding oneself a lot easier and much more satisfying. I could go on and on about the benefits of coconut oil but I think reading Bruce Fife’s books would be more informative.

Thank you for letting me get on my soapbox!

Sincerely,
Rachel
