Oil (any kind) has 120 calories per tablespoon, which really adds up when getting a couple tb per day on top of regular calorie consumption- just a couple hundred extra calories a day can bring about a gain of a couple pounds a month. If that is all you've changed, she's got to give credit where credit's due!

Coconut oil is high in medium chain triglycerides (MCT). My recollection is that these are absorbed more directly by the gut with less processing than most fats. They are known by conventional medicine to help put weight on people who have malabsorption (both pwcf and people with other medical conditions).
Most commercial supplements sold as "MCT Oil" use palm oil. Palm oil can occasionally be found in some snack foods. I have been eating "potato sticks" here lately. I believe one of the oils they list as "may contain one or more of the following" is palm oil.
Some sources list butter as high in medium chain triglycerides and others say butter is low in them. But so far all sources I have seen agree that butter contains at least some medium chain triglycerides.

I have to say... coconut and palm oil is the worst oil to eat. I would use a healthier kind of oil like "raps" or "sunflower".

please do some research on coconut oil. If you already have and you can give us a source for your judging of coconut oild to be the worst please cite it as I would love to read itbased on having a jar on my counter now.
I will not go on and on about how wonderful I believe coconut oil, the one natural source of MCfatty acids to be until later when I can come back and give my sources. Maybe someone can help me out in the mean time.
