Coconut flour

[lnicgorski]

Hi,

I've seen some delicious-looking WFPB recipes on the Forks Over Knives fb group using coconut flour. However I've heard some bad things about coconut because of the saturated fat (I think from Dr. Greger?). Is coconut flour healthy or something to avoid?

Thanks,
Lauren

In regard to flours....

For the MWL program
- the only “flour” products allowed are whole grain pasta.

For the regular program
- Most all flours are allowed (grain, cereal, bean)
- Whole grains flours are the preferred choice.
- Limit flours high in fat that are made from nuts/seeds (almond, etc)
- Avoid flours high in fat and saturated fat (coconut)
