I discovered coconut oil was keeping me up at night. I was taking in about five grams with each meal and my last meal is a few hours before bed. I was lite up at night and wide awake laying in bed. I could be totally exhausted and still it didn't matter I could not fall asleep.
Since I figured out it was the coconut oil, I'm not sure why the coconut oil keeps me up. I do notice a difference in my metabolism. Maybe it has something to do with the adrenal glands.
So I backed off from using so much. I still use some because of the positives that come with it like a healthier gut and having more energy through out the day.
The best part about having some coconut oil in the front part of the day (so I can sleep at night) is the difference it makes on depression. I'm not going to give it too much credit, it does make a remarkable difference in my mood. This is if I'm keeping track of the million other things that mess with depression good or bad.
In total I would say I use around 10 grams total a day of coconut oil in my first two meals. Any more than that and it is too much. I only buy organic extra virgin.
