Which Coconut Products are Good or Bad (Coconut Milk vs Coconut Water vs Coconut Oil)
Coconut, COCOnut, COCONUT!!! Coconut oil, water, milk, etc etc etc. That's all we hear. Take this coconut product. Take that coconut product. But how does it impact you when you are on a Low Carb/Keto diet? There is alot of science to get into! Lets dive in and I'll see you in the COMMENTS!!
Coconut water is the translucent fluid found in the core of young coconuts. It is sugary with little-to-no fat (all other coconut products are fatty) and full of electrolytes. If you’re on a low-carb diet, avoid coconut water. If not, it’s a great substitute for Gatorade.
Coconut milk comes from the fatty flesh of the coconut and is made by boiling or blending the flesh with water in about a one-to-one ratio. Great for curries.
Coconut cream is basically the same thing as coconut milk, except the coconut meat-to-water ratio is about four-to-one. Great for desserts.
Coconut oil (refined) is pure coconut fat, just as olive oil is pure fat from the olive fruit (yes, both coconut oil and olive oil are, technically speaking, fruit juices). If it’s not labeled as “virgin” coconut oil, then it is refined, which means the oil may have been heated, bleached, and/or deodorized. This doesn’t just sound bad, it is bad. The refining process strips the oil of over 80% of its healthy disease-fighting polyphenols and generates cell-toxic hydrogen peroxide.
Coconut oil (virgin) hasn’t been harmfully treated with heat or chemicals, like its abused sibling. This means it contains about seven-times more healthy polyphenols as does refined coconut oil. (Examples of virgin coconut oil polyphenols for your googling pleasure: caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, methyl catechin, dihydrokaempferol, gallic acid, quercetin, and myricetin glycoside.)
Furthermore, and this is IMPORTANT, while the majority of the scientific literature on the impact of coconut oil on cholesterol and heart health reports neutral-to-harmful effects, this umbrella view does not distinguish between refined and virgin oils. Interestingly, according to a brand new (at the time of this writing: January 2020, doi: 10.1016/j.mad.2020) review article on coconut oil, published in the journal of Mechanisms of Aging and Development, the two studies that have used virgin coconut oil report significant elevations in ‘good’ HDL cholesterol and no changes in ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol, while all other clinical reports using refined coconut oil report increased ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. (As an aside, LDL is not completely bad, but that’s a topic for another post.)
The takeaway is that refined coconut oil is probably unhealthy, whereas virgin coconut oil is probably healthy. Processing matters! Please choose virgin!
Coconut Butter (raw) is simply whole coconut meat that’s been drained of water and ground into a pasty substance, similar to peanut butter. I’m going to go on a little bit about this one because (i) it’s probably the coconut product you haven’t heard of before and (ii) it is the best coconut product around for nutrition, versatility, and taste! By the way, that’s a fact, not my opinion (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
Nutrition. Because it’s whole coconut meat that has not been roasted, toasted, heated above 118°F (that’s what “raw” means), it contains the same healthy polyphenols as virgin coconut oil, plus fiber and protein. But make sure to get it labeled RAW.
Versatility. Melt it and drizzle it over yellow squash or berries. Use it as the base for curries and stews. Use it as a dip for chocolate or macadamia nuts. Simply toss it with your favorite neutral protein, like shrimp, chicken, or tofu and give it a quick stir-fry. Blend it in a smoothie. Make coconut ice cream. Or, my favorite, eat it with a spoon!

Dude. Coconut water is vastly preferable to Gatorade.
Neither seems like a great option!
the best has to be the water from fresh coconut.
that's what i said? coconut water has half as many carbs and pretty much 0 synthetics unless you buy a bad product. like damn it's not perfect but so is being vegan xddddd
This is about carb content
VAAAAASTLY
*_Thank you!_*
This whole subject has been a confusion factor for me for years. Every Keto/Paleo/Primal thing I read has a separate section just for coconut products and their use in recipes, and none of them explained the differences in these products. Content like this is why I'm a subscriber.
"Add coconut cream in late to your cooking or it will separate . . " O_O
I've made curry several times and let my chicken simmer in coconut milk/cream and had no idea why it turned from creamy to soupy, oily mess. Never thought it would separate. Thanks for the tip!
Yea at room temp coconut products get pretty oily to begin with
For those that are unclear, coconut milk in a carton or bottle is a processed food.
Facts! It seems that most things are processed in some way. Even peanut butter made from fresh peanuts in the grocery store (in those fancy nut butter dispensers) undergoes the "process" of grinding.
I dont think its so much an issue if things are processed, but rather the level of processing that something undergoes (how does the processed food resemble its orignal state?)
That's why it says coconut beverage on all of the containers. It has to be a certain percentage of pure coconut to be called coconut milk or coconut water otherwise they have to label it coconut beverage. It's like processed cheese food, only not as bad for you because the ingredients don't include toxic oils like Velveeta does.
Actually they can't call it milk because the dairy industry won the battle of what to call dairy alternatives. Milk has to be from a mammal. A bit like how you can't call fizzy alcohol champagne.
What do you mean? they are just water mixes with coconut cream. Are you saying coconut cream are processed too?
I use to follow Thomas real closely. Then I realized he sold out and is full of contradictions.
Can’t believe this dude just tried to tell me not to replace Gatorade with a natural alternative like coconut water. 👎👎👎 Coconut water after a workout is the bomb, and I rest easy knowing it wasn’t formulated in a lab.
I have some coconut water from young green coconuts, very low in carbs, the Raw Coconut Butter is my favorite, and I use the Coconut cream in deserts and curry. I look for the high quality raw stuff! I love Raw unfiltered Coconut oil as well!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I really needed to learn this! I live in Israel; the English labels are often covered by Hebrew labels; and my Hebrew isn't good enough yet to understand the answers to the questions I ask about these products in the health food stores. Love your videos! Thanks again.
Just wanted to say thank you for all your informative videos, been watching you for almost a year now and I have learned so much from you. God bless you and your family👋🏼🌹😘
I love coconut everything 🤣🥥🥥🥥🥥
I put a can of whole fat coconut milk in the blender with a tsp of vanilla extract and sometimes a tsp of cinnamon, blend until smooth and store in a mason jar in the fridge. It is the BEST coffee creamer!
Thomas, I am so glad you brought up coconut butter. I've been using it for a few months now and I love it! I can't have other tree nuts or peanuts because of the high nickel content, and was really missing something that filled in that gap in my diet. I saw someone do a recipe using it and went hunting for it. It wasn't easy to find, so I convinced my favorite healthy grocery store to carry it for me. They really are great at the Healthy Living Market.
Coconut water + chia seeds is great while hiking. That's my main usage for it!
Again thanks for all the content. Have been learning tons.
Very helpful info! Thanks Thomas!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for all your videos and information Thomas.
Thank you for making this video! It really helped me to understand coconuts and what part they play in Keto :)
Great subject, thanks!
Excellent! Love your videos!
Great video bro. Thank you!
I bought a big jar of refined coconut oil by mistake, would it make more sense to use it as a body moisturiser to avoid the negative effects of this?
Thank you for breaking down the difference between the oils. I always make my own coconut milk with the canned stuff. I'll take the can of full fat coconut milk put that in the blender with about four cups of water a little bit of vanilla extract and a little bit of monk fruit sweetener or stevia. And I love love love coconut butter You can take the unsweetened coconut flakes and blend those up to make coconut butter without any additives including sweetener it has its own natural taste to it it's phenomenal
Are you on instagram mate ? These sound amazing
@@nidgemcmorrow2082 yes sir I am my handle is : thahealer_
This is extremely helpful! Thank you so much for talking about how you make the milk!
Very informative as always!!! Thomas DeLauer is my go to subject matter expert. Thank you for the continue education.
agreed ...
Recently obsessed with Coconut Butter - it tastes really sweet to me so I use it in my fat bombs to avoid using actual sweeteners
I eat creamed coconut instead of candy
Hi Thomas, Thanks for the video. Would have been complete if you had added Coconut flour to the list of coconut products being reviewed. As always, thanks for all these videos. Huge fan.
Never knew you guys could make soooo many variants from coconut. In India, we use fresh coconut meat for everything we cook. And a lot of coconut oil for frying, body massage, what not!
Better than seed oil
I grew up on seed oils mostly everything fried I grew up chubby fucking terrible
Thank u for explaining this! I've always been so confused but not any more =)
thanks for the video 💪 this coconut water is really high in sugar, that water i use has "only" 3g/100ml of carbs.. what sources you consume Thomas for Potassium intake?
Perfect ! Thx Thomas!
Thank you so much very informative
Good info.
Thank u Thomas this was so helpful. I love ur videos. So educational. I always learn something from every one of ur videos. U r awesome. Love n hugs to u n ur family.
Thank you Thomas! 😊
Hey Thomas. Thank you for all your videos. You have helped me tremendously. How do you feel about coconut water powder?
Great info. I was wondering if the coconut butter was worth buying ; and tasting.
Ah, I love my coconut butter so much 😍 I add it to my breakfast bowl every day (3 tbs) - so delicious and no sugar cravings then 👍
Thanks for another great video Tommy boy 👍
Excellent segment! I was expecting you to talk about MCT oil, coconut flour or coconut sugar too, but still enjoyed this segment alot. Hope you do another one.
More videos on coconut butter please! That stuff is amazing!!
When you are intermediate fasting he said not to mix carbs and fats. So if i were to eat fats later on how long should I wait?
When you have mouth or stomach ulcers, taking coconut water (from coconut directly, not from box) on empty stomach helps a lot. From time to time, I have to skip keto to address body heat.
Yeah the difference from drinking straight from a coconut and box/can is big. I honestly think its not healthy drinking from the box/can. Ive drank from a fresh coconut when i had a sore throat and it cleared up instantly.
Thomas, i use low-sodium salt for electrolites, it 50% NaCl, 50% mix of KaCl MgCl and CaCl for people who cannot eat too much sodium.
It's dirt cheap here (Holland) compared to supplements. The other salts come from the ocean, the salt is called La Baleine Essentiel.
Might be a tip for those supplementing on a budget
Thank you 🙌🏻
I love coconut butter and virgin oil even though it is a bit expensive in the Philippines at this time. Much of it is shipped here from the USA even though we are a big exporter of coconuts.
Dear Tomas love your videos !! the information you give out which I soak in on a regular basis is very much appreciated sir :) wanted to ask this for a while and test your unbelievable knowledge lol would taking bcaa or eaa pre cardio hinder fat loss as I don’t want to loss my hard earned muscle & there are sooooo many different answers to this 😬😫😫
What's the best coconut water to drink
I had fun with coconut cream when I was in Australia (I haden't been on keto diet at this time) and you are right. In curry that's delicious and very nutritive. A few spoons are enough.
So how would I eat the coconut butter? Plain or use it in place of peanut butter? What does it taste good with?
Great info! Cant wait to try some coconut butter :)
When I was doing KETO I was huge in MCT oil. And did a lot of baking with coconut oils. Great stuff. Thanks for the video man. You rock!
Do you have any opinion on Cocunut Milk Powder?
I've done the Atkins back in my 20's and it worked well, but rather strict. Now at 50, I wanted to modify my diet to include fat burning but more complete diet with real honest information and an education to go with it. I'm completely happy I found a Thomas DeLauer video this past weekend. Everything you talk about sounds accurate to my logical engineering mind. I'm 5'10" @ 235#. My goal is 175#-180#. I've already begun going through my kitchen removing high carb foods and replacing them with low carb foods, I've bought Keto strips for testing, Boron and Chelated magnesium for my gut. I"m planning on a two week transition to full KETO diet by the end of the Memorial Day week. I am going to scour your videos for a blood sugar test as well as breath testing devices. If you have not done a video yet, I"d like to see on on blood & breath testing devices. I"m going with you as my mentor for this 3rd season of my life. All the best..!
Hi Will. I am also an engineer who dropped down to 172 from almost 200 lb. i am 5’10” as well. I suggest doing keto as long as you can while reducing the daily calorie intake while doing Intermittent Fasting. If you can do that another two weeks and eat once a day with 500-600 cal. a day, that means you can handle Water Fasting for several days. That gives me 2lb a day fat burning. Just an FYI.
Who do you fellas work for?? Union Pacific, BNSF, Northern Suffolk?? Driving train cool job. 🤣🤣🤣
Thomas is good. NOT GOSPEL!!! He still makes his money off being salesman for all these companies he recommends. Also check out Dr Berg. Dr Barry for sure. Keto Rewind good lady. I went from 6’3” 315 to 210lbs. About 13 months. Dirty keto 1st sixty-five then started cleaning it up. Redmond’s real salt a must. Potassium a must. Magnesium a must. Boron good for men. Releases already occurring testosterone in your body. 9 mg day. Intermittent fasting is a glorious thing. Delve into it slowly. You’ll be amazed and glad you did.
You really don’t need all the testing devices. I got them. But to be honest the color and smell of your urine will let you know if you’re in ketosis.
Good luck gents.
@@rueridge7597 , Lol on the dirty KETO. That's how I started on the Atkins...30 days of sirloin steaks on the grill...! That is why I'm looking for more food education, although I"m trying to stay out of information overload. The Boron arrived last night, and I'm now doing research on my first fast. Black coffee, Black tea or green tea and I can live on that for the better portion of a day. I'm okay with Thomas being a salesman for those companies. I grew up in rural chit hole Pennsylvania and there was no quality food, so if mail order is the only way to go to get food and vitamins, then more power to him and anyone who rely's on this pipeline to get you believe in. Thanks for the reply. Best.
I never knew what to do with coconut cream I purchased a couple months ago. I finally opened it and am in love. I mix it with some almond milk, or coconut milk, cacao or vanilla or with my coffee, plus a sweetner. The coconut cream is just amazing
I just made some chocolate fudge popsicles with coconut milk, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla!
@Thomas DeLauer what about MCT OIL is it safe???
Hello could you please tell me if I can take NEEM and TURMERIC during intermittent fasting
Is it good to put in smoothies?
I’m a big fan of coconut .
Is the fresh coconut water also has high sucrose and fructose?
Is eating the raw coconut meat good?
Thanks sir!💕
Great info. Thank you Tom. But what is coconut mana? Is than worthy? It is close to coconut butter?
Coconut mana is the same thing as coconut butter.
I bought that artisana butter a few weeks ago, super good! It gets super hard when it's cold though so you gotta warm the jar in hot water before you can get any out
I mix virgin coconut oil with organic peanut butter. More coconut then peanut butter. Pop it in the fridge till it hardens...delicious
Thank you
My coconut products are from my coconut tree...hehehe...
Thanks for sharing...good information
Yes after losing weight using keto I am finding that certain foods are still useful for healing that are not kept. Like pineapple, berries, beans, etc. Being as though I was raised Vegan it’s what my body is accustomed to being on Keto caused major constipation even with 8 cups of greens a day I was still messed up. So now I am trying animal protein keto every other day switching between plant based keto and a 24-48 hour fast I always do. So far on this diet my constipation has went down drastically. It’s not just about weight loss it’s about health. Do what your body wants. I bug my body. I demand and expect it to tell me what it needs and eventually it comes through.
Hey Thomas really enjoying your Chanel and love to get hold of some of the thrive market products but unfortunately they don’t ship to Australia, maybe they should consider it. Keep doing what you’re doing mate.
Same sentiments from Canada - can't get the products.
If you cook with virgin coconut oil (heat it up) will it be similar to refined in the end?
Agreed if u're talking about the food industries packed coconut drinks, but not if you're pointing at the real coconut. I always prefer coconut water by self-extracting from the the real coconut fruit itself, it has always been my main potassium intake because of its high k content by nature and it is also anti-bacterial, full of goodness. so if its packet/carton/bottled juice, you can have doubts about its content, but not the real one, the real one is a Godsent.
Thomas, could you put coconut butter in your bullet proof coffee and would it be on top of butter and mct oil?
What is the difference between the butter and the cream??
You should do a video on all the gain killers. Sitting too long, lack of protein etc.
What are your guys and gals opinions on organic coconut yogurt from the store? It has like less than 1 gram of sugar. I can't seem to find any info about its nutrition or if its keto friendly.
What about coconut yoghurt?
I'm super lazy so when I feel like a fat bomb, I do a bit of virgin coconut oil and a spoon of almond butter together. It's quite good.
Cool
Can you do a vid on all the sports drinks like Gatorade and why they suck
I still don't know if I really like coconut products because sometimes it tastes great but usually takes me a while to get into coconut products after having had a break from them. They seem to be hard on my belly and make me slightly sick sometimes. However, there's something about the coconut products that I really like. Great for frying etc. I used to eat two cans of coconut cream a day during my paleo days.
So helpful
What if we heat Vergin coconut oil or coconut butter for cooking. Will all the goodness remain? Because you are saying it is good as it is not heated.
Hi mate so very confused...... which is best for high temp cooking, currys, deep frying etc
Hello, just started following you I do the bullet proof coffee is it ok to use mct oil with coconut creme in my bullet proof coffee and is it ok to add my keto raisin bread w cream cheese for breakfast to I skip lunch ? And im always under my daily calories
Thanks for this explanation. Very helpful, as ever!
And, I, for one....really like buying from thrive market. They have always been friendly and super
easy to deal with. I have saved money using them. & No I don't have any affiliation with them, just a happy customer.
I've seen claims that, for virgin coconut oil, whole kernel coconut oil is even better than white kernel coconut oil.
Whish he had addressed that.
(whole kernel coconut oil apparently includes the brown inner membrane of the coconut in the oil pressing. White kernel coconut oil removes this before pressing)
the carton cocounut water maybe garbage but as a south indian the tender coconut water straight from the tender coconut that I get back home is an elixer of healing and doesnt come clossse to knocking me out of ketosis .
Any alternative to coconut products. I am allergic.
Can confirm that coconut butter is great, but it’s also a bit, um... Rock-like. I haven’t quite figured out how best to warm it up into a spread, and it sounds like heating it isn’t the best option.
I use Celtic sea salt for my electrolytes and minerals
Coconut butter or macadamia butter - which is better?
Thanks for the clarification with the coconut water....I was using it in my smoothies for taste along with water but maybe I will just use water. Also I was wondering are smoothies keto friendly...?
Really depends on the smoothie ingredients. The typical smoothie isn’t going to be, but you can make them lower carb and higher fat.
Coconut water (from the right companies!) is super healthy for you. You don’t have to use the whole serving and cut out some of the carbs. But sometimes getting those whole super foods is more important and better for your body than just totally cutting out whole food groups with no exception. Esp when the comparison is to instead use Gatorade which is sooooo bad for you with sooo many toxic cancer provoking chemicals 😬. I hope you keep 🥥 in your smoothies 💗
Coconut Butter sounds like something good to add to our lives. You make mention of getting it raw, that that it isn’t heated. But when I use it for making cookies, I will then be heating it. Will I be making it less beneficial when I bake cookies when using the Coconut Butter?
I thrive off unrefined virgin organic coconut oil expeller pressed. Big tub at wal-mart. Have started to just put a glob in my coffee again, and stopped mct oil, due to mild nausea.
Hey Thomas could you do a video on Sacha Inchi nuts? Thanks again for the info, you always come through
Informative
What about home made coconut milk made from organic, unsweetened coconut flakes?
Whats the difference between coconut cream and creamed coconut? My supermarket only sells creamed coconut
Excellent information and I do use coconut oil in my cooking now after listening to you I won't feel bad 😀. Thank you for the valuable information sir.
Thomas, what is the best multivitamin for women over 45 on a keto diet?
Alpro unsweetened coconut milk, zero carbs, 14 cal per 100ml,great for cooking and protein shakes
"you shouldn't have more than a couple tablespoons of this stuff" - Thomas..... lol opps I eat way to much of coconut cream then!
Where can I get coconut cream or milk?
What about the water from the actual coconut from tree as I live in the Caribbean.
Yes that was my question as well.
Is raw coconut butter the same as coconut manna?
Important to know difference between unrefined, and extra virgin coconut oil..i got temporarily confused between the 2, inregards to health benefits by a clerk.
