I have been trying to cut back on coconut oil and coconut milk in my diet.
I was watching a video about coconut oil clogging the arteries as effectively as animal saturated fat.
It seems to be in just about everything. Plant based butters, cheese, cream cheese, and milks. Indian and Asian sauces and soups.
It has forced me to do portion controls on a lot of my favorite items and recipes. I used to sit and eat a pretty big portion of ice cream. Now I strictly portion control, and I don't go back for a second portion later in the day. If a recipe says a full can of coconut milk; I use half. Those faux cheddar slices. I get one, on crackers, and that is it.
I loved popcorn cooked in coconut oil. Now I make do with safflower oil with some nooch.
(sigh)
