While I can’t blame the success of my keto diet solely on the coconut oil, the benefits I feel are hard to deny: I remain full until lunchtime and feel extra energetic in the morning. I don’t feel like snacking and my mind feels clear and focused. Is it the coconut oil? Hard to say, but I do notice a difference.

When to take coconut oil

As I can attest, taking coconut oil in the morning on an empty stomach can help you feel fuller throughout the day, increase physical and mental energy, and improve concentration.

On the other hand, taking coconut oil before bedtime is said to soothe the digestive system, stabilize blood sugar, and quell hunger after dinner.

Pro tip: Coconut oil is liquid at room temperature, so keep yours in the pantry or on the countertop. I’ve found its liquid form much more palatable than its solid form.

How much coconut oil should you take per day?

The recommended amount of coconut oil per day ranges from 1 Tsp (5 g) to 2 Tbs (30 g). The dose depends on your health, nutritional goals, and the type of diet you are following; keep in mind that coconut oil is high in calories and high in fat.

Is coconut oil bad for you?

Most healthy people should be fine taking coconut oil within the daily recommended amount. However, there are contraindications to be aware of: While coconut oil has been shown to increase good cholesterol, it can also raise the level of LDL (bad cholesterol). It should be avoided in cases of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease, as well as by those who have a family history of heart attacks and strokes.

As mentioned, coconut oil is high in calories, so it might not be best for those following a low-calorie diet. For some people, it can cause nausea, bloating, and intestinal problems when taken in the morning on an empty stomach.

Also, it goes without saying that you should definitely avoid coconut oil if you are allergic to coconuts. As always, when in doubt, consult a health care professional for personalized advice.
