I don't mind the taste of drinking olive oil by the spoon, but how much is too much? Once I drank three servings of two tabelspoons each spread out throughout the day, and I had a stomach ache for a day or two after. I love olive oil though b/c it's such a convenient, easy way to get calories, and monounsaturated fats,

6 tablespoons of olive oil is a lot. 90g of fat=810kcals. thats a lot for your body to handle out of the blue, no wonder your stomach hurt.

btw, i used to slam it from the spoon when i was completely strict but nowadays i only really cook with it, either that or canola oil.

cooking with olive oil is no better then any other oil. When heated it looses it's positive attributes. It's best used as stated in some of the posts above. cold salads (lettuce, bean, tomato, etc). Teaspoon as well if you really have too. I personnally don't see the need to do that since you can get your fats in a much easily tollerable way such as the salad approach. By the teaspoon is just a discomfort that is not necessary.

Well I would tell you, don't eat cooked oat meal. being fit shouldn't mean to be miserable when you eat. The good thing which I'm sure you already know is there are always alternatives to everything. Don't like brussel sprouts then eat broccoli. If you don't like oatmeal then eat cream of weat or farina.

olive oil in your shake right before bed good way to get those fats and also it slows the release of the protein down. so if you are not taking like a casein then throw in some olive oil!!

Olive Oil

If you guy want to try a great olive try a company that's been producing it since 1861 called Fratelli cucchiara. They are simply the masters of producing fresh cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. They have never been caught mixing or better yet never been on the black market like 1000's of other fony companies. They have been successful because they take pride in the olive oil and they are the only people i would every buy the healthy product from. You can purchase it at SanMichele.US, trust me it is terrific.

Wow, your first post was on Fratelli....must have had your olive oil radar on.


I used to take a 4oz. ramekin shot once a day....better than fish oil, and it tasted pretty good with a bourbon chaser.

If all else fails, get your girlfriend or significant other, a 9x12 plastic drop cloth, a gallon of Omaggio from Sam's........good times.

it also has great lubricating properties! better than KY jelly. i work at a italian restaurant and we have a 5 gallon tub of herb infused EVOO basically on tap. i put it on top of my chicken and sprinkle parm cheese on top. i put it on my salads mixed with a little basalmic. i add cayenne pepper or tabasco to it and add it too my tuna. you can add so much different stuff to it. the infused EVOO we use has oregano,garlic,thyme,rosmary,salt,pepper,chili flake and so many other good spices in it its rediculous.dont use the herb infused stuff for sex purposes though. it will be more stinky than usual.
