More research on Toco-8

[Rodja]

I drink 4 cups a day, along with 3-6 caps of Primordial's green tea caps. This is immediately when I wake up (and now I've added 200mg caffeine). I eat coconut oil during this time as well. Lean lean lean lean lean lean... small small small small lol

As in eating EVCO with a spoon?

 

[Good Grip]

How do you guys eat your coconut products? Do you spread them on food or just spoon it up and eat it?

Spoon and eat. If I ate carbs at the moment, I would spread it on bread. It tastes like butter, but better.

Okay, ive got some ideas, thanks fellas. I kind of do the same thing with Toco 8 as far as just scooping it out and eating it ( actually powder in mouth and chase it with water ).

Fat loading on low carb, I love it.

Speaking of fat loading, I'm going to attempt to make a fried avocado with ground up almonds as the coating/batter.

Ha, that sounds strangely awesome. Let me know how it goes.

Cooking with Rodja

What other unique recipes do you have?

 

[Rodja]

Not too much. I mainly just stick to stuff in the Primal Blueprint cookbook, which is amazing.

can you add Toco-8 to food?

Yeah, there was an M-M thread on this topic.

That book any good?

I flipped through it once at the bookstore and wasn't too impressed by the recipes. Lots of weird foods and I am not too adventurous with my eating lol. I have two other paleo cookbooks that I use mainly.

Is your primal book hardcopy?

 

[Rodja]

Yeah, I borrowed it from a friend. I like it since both the wife and I got a little tired of eating the same stuff.

Ill have to check it out. Also very interested on the comments about cooking with Toco-8, haven't considered this.

Vitamin E is VERY heat sensitive. And subject to oxidation when exposed to air. Personally, I wouldn't cook with it, unless it was added to cold foods.

And I'm wondering: If vitamin E is fat soluble, how is the bioavailability affected by being in powdered form? I dunno, I'd just prefer Tocomin over Tocomax, and I'd especially prefer a pill or capsule instead of powder.

 

[ryansm]

Toco-8 is Tocomin as well as other things

Who said anything about heating Toco8?

Yea a capsule for would be nice though

 

[Rodja]

Tocomin has a propensity to jam capping machines.

I wouldn't want it in my food anyway lol

I take toco-8 generally with a little vitamin C and coconut oil.

I currently either toss it in a shake or just throw it in my mouth. The texture makes me enjoy it in shakes more.

Im goin try puttin it in some yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit. Other wise just throwing the powder in as is and chasing it with water works best.

Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt

I saw some of that at the grocery store, ive tried it but unless your putting in some type of fruit, its hard to eat plain. Excellent profile though.

I used to mix BC+EAA in and then tried a little xtend. Both were GREAT

Now I am using that new Milo stuff and it works good too

Why not try and mix in some Vitaberry into the greek yogurt. Would make a excellent snack food
