We have changed everything in the kitchen. Coconut oil, coconut milk and coconut flour...chicken on the grill...etc
So why does my husband seem to gain and I'm staying the same weight? Why aren't we loosing?
It's been 3 weeks. Using Dr Axes recipes too.

Don't know who Dr. Axe is, but I think different bodies respond to different diets. I don't think our bodies are all "cookie cutter" and therefore don't lose weight with all diets. Maybe try something different.

I thought coconut oil had a lot of calories. Could it be that the calorie count isn't less? I find the best way to lose weight is exercise. I've been walking about 40 minutes most days and enjoy it.

Isn't coconut oil etc. loaded with saturated fats? I don't get the rage for coconut products except maybe the flours if you are gluten intolerant.

I don't know though why you expect these ingredients to help lose weight. Is it possible he is eating other things when you aren't around?

Calories in, calories out. No matter what you eat....that is what it comes down to. Measuring and portion control. Count your calories.

I do Weight Watchers and a tablespoon of coconut oil is 7 points which is the same as a couple of small cookies or a cup and a half of Lucky Charms. It's ok to use but very high in calories.

As sea maiden said - calories do count.

If you want to do not want lower the amount you eat, you have to burn more calories.

It is commendable that you are taking a more healthy approach to eating.

It does help.

There are so many different approaches to losing weight.

Hi

WW is a low fat diet and since the inception of Oprah has even become more extreme in the raising of fat points. There are so many theories againts that premise.
