One tablespoon twice a day, one with breakfast, the other with dinner.
I'm not in training, but friends of mine who are, tell me that taking it about 30 minutes before a workout has the best effect.
For what it's worth, both my wife and I walk everyday for health and fat loss. We plateaued, then following our friends advice started on coconut oil twice daily.
The plateau was broken and the fat loss resumed, I have lost 5kg in 5 weeks since starting the coconut oil, my wife about 4kg in 5 weeks.
We have not changed any other aspect of our diet or the distance or time spent walking.
Congratulations on the resumed weight loss.
That's rather impressive (remarkable?) that you've dropped ~11 pounds in five weeks while
increasing your daily caloric consumption by ~260 calories (with the addition of two TBS coconut oil). With no other changes in diet, exercise duration, intensity or frequency, this implies the coconut oil (MCTs) have an absolute weight (fat) loss mechanism.
