Yesterday I ran out of cooked chicken breast in my fridge to add to my lunch so I was faced with the fact that I would just have to eat a large salad alone for lunch.

I said to myself “fine” and proceeded to pack it up and bring it in to work along with an organic apple and an organic grapefruit.

I ate both of the fruits throughout the day, but once lunch rolled around I just found myself frustrated and disheartened by the idea of eating nothing but leaves for lunch. So I went out and got two soft tacos as well. Nice, unhealthy food.

I also found organic ice cream in the health section of the grocery store. I ate spaghetti for dinner (bad) and then had three scoops of chocolate chocolate chip organic ice cream (double bad) later that evening.

This morning I weighted in at 246.5 lbs. I also DID do my yoga that morning.

Just goes to show that a massive commitment to both what you eat and the amount of exercise plays a MAJOR role in your weight loss success. Just adding organic coconut oil to your diet is simply not going to do it.

It might be that I did not do any yoga yesterday because Buddy was sick. No exercise = no weight loss.

Seems like there is a struggle to get all the pieces to fit. One day I eat trash at one meal, another day I fail to exercise. Seems like you need both.

I did yoga today and have not cheated by eating filth, but I think I’m going to call this initial experiment to a close. Mostly because I fired up our family membership at the YMCA, and I’m going to be bringing everyone a 5 or so nights a week so that I can start adding more exercise into my daily routine. That being the case, I can’t really keep this test phase experiment going as it was suppose to observe results of eating organic cold pressed coconut oil with only a 30-minute yoga session or 30 minute active stretching session p/day 6 days a week.

It seems that you need to combo a little bit more with coconut oil than just eating high-quality foods and 30 minutes of exercise a day. There is a whole host of things that could be standing in the way like needing more exercise, needing to drink water that has been purified of chemicals like chlorine and fluoride, needing to go through a candida yeast cleanse, a liver cleanse, a heavy metal cleanse, or a lymphatic cleanse. Testing these various elements are beyond the scope of this short, impromptu experiment.

My own experience so far has shown that consuming raw, organic, cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil does not produce fast weight loss results when you only pair it with good, nutritious food and 30 minutes of exercise per day. This is not to say that I didn’t glean a whole host of other benefits from this “superfood”, but our goal from this experiment was to achieve weight loss and exceptional results were not seen.

Just to bring things in perspective, I weighed 256 lbs at the beginning of this month which is when my wife and I started to switch up our diet and throw away the “trash” that we had stuffed all over our home.

I’ve secured a membership at the local YMCA and am going to start taking the family there in the evenings 5 days a week. Christina and I will walk and the kidzers will hang out in the Child Care Learning Center.

Seeing how nothing ever seems to work out as you’d like it to, I’m also going to guess that consistency on this will be full of gaps…which seems to be normal for people that have busy lives.

One final thing for today…my son had a fever last night, so it didn’t go very well. I couldn’t bring myself to get up before 5:30, so I skipped yoga this morning. It might have some type of impact on tomorrow’s weight check.

Today I didn’t have anything “bad” like this. Super Oatmeal for breakfast, two rounds of tea, one grapefruit, one apple. Lunch was salad and Amish chicken breast. Dinner was salad and a small hamburger made form organic, grass fed ground beef.

We’ll see how tomorrow turns out.

I weighed in at 245 lbs.

One pound in one day. Wow…at this rate I’ll dissapear in only 245 days!

Seriously though, I might have sabotaged myself because yesterday our family had to go to one of my daughter’s friends birthday party, so I had TWO pieces of pizza and one piece of cake. That stuff is NOT on the “organic” list.

Like I said though…I’m in “transition” where food is concerned. It’s not a “instant” type of change, but it is a change.

I did do my Yoga this morning, did drink about 58 oz of water, did take both my apple cider vinegar and Vitamin D3…so we’ll see how it turns out.

Today I was pretty much on track where things were concerned except that I somehow managed to find myself eating pizza again tonight. 2 pieces again. Long story. We’ll see the results tomorrow.
