I see coconut oil is good on the diet. How about the meat of the coconut?
Coconut meat is excellent for nutrition. Probably much better than dessicated or dried flaked coconut. Bob’s red mill coconut flakes are the best I’ve found and I used to sell flaked coconut. I like using them in yogurt for added crunch…..
Raw coconut meat is inflammatory and contains sugar:

Raw coconut flakes used sparingly on food shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Keep in mind that dried coconut flakes are a dried food item and hence contain molds.

I’m still really confused about coconuts. I’m currently on my second week of the ‘phase 0’ detox. Last week I was eating a coconut a day including the water and meat. At first I felt fine but then noticed after eating 2 in a row that I got a sore throat, which for me is usually a bad reaction. I also noticed when eating dehydrated coconut I’d get a sore throat immediately. I didn’t realize there was so much sugar in coconuts and I’ve since stopped. I read that coconuts can be introduced during the 1st/2nd phase of the strict diet but now I’m not so sure. My question is did I just do too much to soon or are coconuts off the list in the first phases of the diet?
I’m sorry if this has already been answered else where. I just rather be safe than sorry.
Hello TheEggy,
I am unsure whether the coconut would be a major detriment or not to the cleanse, but I imagine it is still an improvement over what you ate pre-cleanse. I wouldn’t worry too much about it and learn from your experience and move on.
We have a strict forum food list if you are interested; me and able feel that you’ll progress a bit faster with this food list when compared to the websites or other websites food lists. Email able900 if you are interested in a link to the list.
I think you made a good decision to not continue with the coconut and you’ll probably feel better without it.
Later in the diet most foods will barely be a problem if not eaten too much. As time progresses you’ll be able to handle more and more good tasting stuff.

I am a bit confused now myself. Isn’t coconut (thus also all components of a coconut) a test food on the strict forum diet?
