Date: December 02, 2008 01:52AM While you are transitioning and assuming that you are replacing the same amount of fat calories that you would otherwise get from cooked foods I would say it is OK. As you progress in your raw journey you might find that two coconuts a day might be tad too much of your calorie intake from fat.  Re: Is it bad to eat 1-2 young coconuts a day

Date: December 02, 2008 05:05AM I was under the impression that the large green ones are the only coconuts where the 'water' is mostly carbohydrate. also these are not irradiated Re: Is it bad to eat 1-2 young coconuts a day

Date: December 02, 2008 06:13AM The coco water never bothered me but eating a lot of coconuts young soft or hard old most of the time seemed hard to digest in the form of costipation.
I have a coconut tree in back fo my house and drink the water in the summers but rarely eat them my sister and mom eat the hard ones and have no problem i just drink the water. Cherimoya, Love Peace and Happiness, Re: Is it bad to eat 1-2 young coconuts a day

Date: December 02, 2008 04:25PM When i first started eating raw, I used to eat at least one young coconut a day, plus virgin coconut oil, plus dehydrated coconut, and some mature coconut meat if i had some. It really was a staple food!Then i realized tha most of my calories where from fat, i freaked, and stop eating so much. And it was a little costy to buy all these young coconuts...
But honestly i did not feel any worse then now, in fact i think i actually felt better...? Re: Is it bad to eat 1-2 young coconuts a day

Date: December 10, 2008 06:47AM I used to eat 2-3 young cocounts at a time for lunch. (not everyday, only when I felt like it, plus the juice) It was the only thing I had for several hours before and after. I actually lost weight if anyone was wondering. I don't recall what other items I may have had earlier or later in the day. I tend to have a very big appetite, and can be very active, so I probably needed the calories.

Date: December 10, 2008 10:58AM I LOVE fresh, young coconuts and I read somewhere their water is the only naturally occurring fully isotonic beverage made by nature.
One bad thing you should remember is that if they aren't organic they have probably been preserved in formaldehyde. They keep the coconuts under the formaldehyde for app. 6 minutes I believe it is. I wish we lived in a world where helath and nature was respected by the mainstream. Re: Is it bad to eat 1-2 young coconuts a day

Date: December 10, 2008 12:05PM The reason why you would loose weight or not gain any weight is because of the medium chain saturated fats in the coconut -- it goes straight to the liver to be converted to energy, unlike the long chain saturated fats found in meat and other oils and things.

Date: December 10, 2008 01:32PM they were tested for formaldehyde and found none.
there may be other chemicals in there though. jackie chan used coconut water in one of his movies as an IV - that's good enough for me. ;-) Re: Is it bad to eat 1-2 young coconuts a day

Date: December 12, 2008 07:09PM i am open to whatever answer is provided by those who know, but has ANYONE here actually been to s e asia and really observed the young coco growers and exporters close up, using these noxious chemicals? or is it agenda driven or hearsay?
