Keri W. Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Does anyone else feel that having some coconut milk each day in their coffee, helps them feel better, full, and able to control cravings? I've been experimenting with this idea. I eat a good fat at every meal...but days without coconut milk make me feel like I need something sweet and that's when I tend to go a bit crazy on fruit. In other news...I'm very amazed that I have been able to purchase dried fruit and not eat it all in one sitting. Haha! I'm actually able to control my portions and use it sparingly. It really seems that my body is changing and enjoying the fact that it gets real food. I think my body was quite messed up from the terrible food, extreme exercise, and awful diets I've followed. Here I am...2.5 months into the Whole9 way of life, 20 pounds gone, energized, clear skin, no more back pain, and I can honestly say that it's the best thing I've ever done.

birthdance Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm only on Day 4, but I've found that one decaf coffee a day with coconut milk really has stopped my dairy cravings. I don't want to drink more than that either, I'm quite satisfied with one serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alison Webster Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I am a black coffee drinker but I do stir a little coconut oil in it. I believe there are tremendous benefits to getting the coconut stuff in your body! If it makes you feel good too them do it. More power to you!

fitgirlH Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 i am a black coffee drinker, but when i first wake up before my workout i like to have coffee and then a very small bowl of a couple berries with coconut milk and cinnamon, the coconut milk makes me sooo full, it's fantastic! actually today i used creamed coconut for the first time and i don't tink i added enough water to the concentrate and well, it's been 5 hours and i'm still stuffed, too stuffed where i felt sick. i have yet to get my workout in because of it! coconut is a gift from the gods!

MingoNW Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hmm, I'm going to try this. I'm 6 days in, and with the cold weather especially, the warm creamy coffee drink is my biggest temptation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
