Please respond! Newbie here!

I'm new to the coconut oil gig. I've tried it in a protien shake made with lite coconut milk and coconut oil. Added other ingredients. It went down okay, but I can't get past the "flowery, perfumy" kind of after taste.

Do you think I had the wrong brand or something?

Another question: I'm new to menopause (early only 42) and am experiencing the little weight shifting where you get love handles out of no where! I'm 5'8 and 125lbs. Been under weight my whole life, now these little speed bumps are sitting above my hips. Looks aweful! Will the coconut oil help me with this?

Thanks in advance!
