Fat bombs. They sound terrible right? Who wants to have fat bombs – let alone coconut oil fat bombs? Well, let me tell you they are delicious and so GOOD for you!

Why We Need Fat In Our Diet

Years ago, I stayed away from fat. I ate a low-fat diet thinking that was the best way to stay thin and healthy. Boy, was I wrong!

I had horrible menstrual cramps and migraines during that time of the month. I was fatigued – even though I was in my 20s. I always felt hungry and craved carbs. I had brain fog. I was cranky and moody. The list goes on and on.

I avoided fat thinking it was the best way to stay thin. Turns out I was wrong. Low-fat diets are usually higher in sugar – which explained my constant craving for carbs – and also wreak havoc on the body. The body needs fat to function properly, to stabilize moods, to boost energy, and to feel satiated.

So yeah, I gave up low-fat foods and now I eat fat bombs. Well, coconut oil fat bombs actually. You see, coconut oil is fantastic for the body. Coconut oil has so many health benefits, and coconut oil helps you to lose weight.

  1. Do the ingredients have to be melted in a double boiler or can I use a small sauce pan on the stove top? I don’t own a double boiler but I’d like to try this recipe

  2. These sound awesome! Just wondering, if I don’t currently have peppermint essential oil on hand, would peppermint extract work? I have everything except the essential oil.

  3. Hi Tracey!

    Just one question – is it 1 tbsp or 1 cup of raw honey or maple syrup? I can’t wait to try these but want to do it right! ;))

    Thanks!
