Coconut oil?

I am reading conflicting things about coconut oil and whether or not it is good or bad for weight loss/overall health. Since starting a new diet (WW) earlier this year I have been having some digestive isues. Someone who is also on WW suggested I added a tsp of coconut oil to my coffee each morning as this helped her stay regular as this worked for her. I bought a huge tub but now I'm reading due to the amount of saturated fat in it, its not good for cholesterol health. Not sure if I should just stick with trusted Olive Oil...

What are your thoughts on coconut oil for health/weight loss?

Re: Coconut oil?

A tsp won't hurt you. That's a small amount.
Look into MCT oil though. It's better for you than just coconut oil due to having more medium chain triglycerides
