I use a variety of good fats, trying to ingest at least 4 tablespoons of coconut oil daily but also using butter, olive oil, and lard for some things as well. I also try to take a tablespoon of cod liver oil daily.

I try to avoid junk food or make my own more nutritious substitutes. Granola bars are easy to make---rolled oats, raisins, peanut or other nut butter, honey, sunflower seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, coconut oil and you can even add chocolate chips if you like. My husband loves them. I have lots of coconut oil recipes that I have put into a word document file, quite a few of them desserts. If you'd be interested in them I could email them to you and anyone else interested. They give proper credit to the individuals who have concocted them and I have tried many of them with delicious results. :)

The only oils we have in our home are VCO, butter from grass fed diary, olive oil, and beef fat from grass fed cows. With that said we do go out to eat about twice a month. We eat organically, which for us includes no soy and a kosher life style. So, almost nothing we eat comes out of a box or can. Plus my husband and I work together out of our home, I prepare three meals daily. So, our bi-monthly outings give me a break from cooking.
