Hi, I live in Greece, and we have just found some coconut oil in a health food store in the main town, but before that I always got it from Amazon. I eat LCHF tot.  

Thanks for the tip, will chase that up. :-)  

The skin is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this way of eating. Enjoy it! You will have the best skin of your life! Hope the knee gets better. 

Great job on your sticking to your diet. We are going to do it together. Sorry you were not able to find coconut oil there, can you order it online from Amazon like Osteopam said? That is where I get all my nutritional products. 

Amazon.com carries Coconut oil if you cannot find locally......love me some olive oil as well!  

Low carb and High fat got me to my goal of 145 and now I weigh between 140 to 142, fluctuates, but that's fine as I just eat healthy now and am rarely hungry. I do eat small meals, but often to keep my blood sugar in check. No problem in maintaining my weight. It's wonderful how well it is working. 

I think the coconut oil is highly overrated for me personally. I use it but infrequently. If I use it very much I quit losing. I use olive oil and butter much more and lose when I do. My aches and pains have also gone away except for my knee. LOL I have a knee that I get steriod shots in but all in all am thrilled that I do not suffer with aches every day and night like I was. Congrats on your success!
