My Total Preggo and healthy blog

Ok, I went to my local nutrition store to load up on fish oil (barf- but it is supposed to help my baby’s development and make it SUPER smart!) and we got into a conversation regarding clean cooking.. Since I cook clean the majority of the time (ok, I make my son some cookies every now and then, the old fashioned way with white flour-gasp!) I was very interested in what she had to say.  She went on to tell me that you CANNOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES heat flax oil.  It turns it car?cin?o?gen?ic Yep, that is UGLY my friends!!!  The only way you should use it is to drizzle it on the food POST cooking…  Also, it goes rancid very quickly (as does olive oil!) so you need to keep it refrigerated. 

I was FREAKING out!  I have been cooking with it for months now!  At least since August last year.  She told me about Coconut oil.  I have heard about the benefits before but she is RAVING about it!  Not only is it a healthy oil with a high smoke point (meaning you can heat it to high temps and it won’t smoke like your olive or vegetable oils) BUT it actually LOWERS bad cholersterol and RAISES the good!  It helps you LOSE weight as well (you need to take 3 TBSP’s a day and drop your carbs!!!).

Lots of fun info from the health food store.  If you would like to know more about the Coconut diet, hit me up!

Thanks guys!
