You can use Coconut Oil for cooking on the hCG protocol because unlike other fats Coconut Oil is used by your body like a carbohydrate. Your body breaks the coconut oil fat down much quicker within the liver and does not store it like other fats.
With the addition of Coconut Oil to the hCG diet, it is still best to limit the amount you use. Using a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in stir frying foods or oiling your grill for cooking is enough. Using a little on skin in lieu of mineral oil is okay as well.
