Thankies

If you like the coconut taste, try coconoil from Amazon...comes in packs off 3 tubs. If you want no coconut taste, KTC brand is the cheapest...also from Amazon.

Look for the stuff that is cold pressed 100% Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.

Yes I agree with Caroline buy Organic Extra Virgin Coconoil from Amazon, you get a large tub that is much bigger than the coconut oil available from Tescos or Waitrose. Be careful though to choose the Organic one because all the photos look very similar & I mistakenly bought the non Organic one that I think does not taste so nice.

I buy this one, which is organic extra virgin and raw, (cold pressed) available from either of these suppliers. £14.00 for 500g

The KTC which is refined so has no taste but all the health benefits is about £3 a 500 ml tub from Amazon. Also available from Tesco on line for £2.25. I also bought a 250ml bottle in an Indian supermarket for £1.29.I use that as a moisturiser and for the oil pulling.I will also use it for cooking when my jar of the more expensive stuff runs out

I was going to buy some Lucy Bee extra virgin organic coconut oil from Amazonat £9/500g jar but the postage was £6.99. So I went onto Lucy Bee's website and bought 2x500g jars for £18 + £2.99 postage from the Natur'es Healthbox option (on the where to buy tab). Drat! Just checked and 2 jars are now £16. Ordered lunchtime one day arrived by the time I got home from work on the next. A friend had the same delivery timeframe 12 noon one day arrived 0930 the next - all for £2.99.
Oh! And the coconut oil is lovely too - nice taste of coconut but not overpowering.

Er..... why's that then? And where IS the link?

Thanks for all your recommendations.... I LOVE coconut!! So I'm not bothered about the smell or taste at all.....

I've just put the KTC one on my Amazon wishlist so I remember it next time.

As coffeetime says, there is a link at the top and bottom of the forum, labelled "Support The 5:2 Diet Forum" which takes you to a page with links to Amazon and other retailers. If you access these online shops via these links, the forum gets a small commission to help with running costs.

I've just deleted Amazon from my bookmark toolbar and added it again from the forum link as I sometimes forget. Now one click (hopefully) will take me to the Amazon 'commission' page.

Lucy Bee is £6 for 300grams in Sainsburys, but as there is no postage it is much cheaper than Amazon and not a lot different to the other web site
