This is gonna be a real quick blog, and one that most of you probably don't need, thank goodness! But I thought it was worth a mention, because occasionally I have heard people say that don't feel they need to count the oil that they cook food in, such as for a stir fry, on top of the stove. They seem to think it either evaporates or the calories go away some other way. This is simply not true! Those calories soak right into your food and are what keeps it from sticking to the pan! Then it goes right into your body.
Also, I've run across more than one person who take copious amounts (I'm talking tablespoons) of coconut oil a day, thinking it will somehow magically make them thinner. Some even eat it right off of the spoon. They don't count the calories, then wonder why they are not losing weight. At 120 calories a tablespoon, these calories can add up very quickly and absolutely stall your weight loss. Just because a fat is a "good fat" does not mean it's good for you if you eat too much. You really CAN have too much of a good thing!
Count your oil in your daily foods!
