2wheelsgood Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Some of you guys were getting coconut oil in bulk right? Where from and what was the pricing? 1l containers aren't enough for me any more :/
jcza Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Some of you guys were getting coconut oil in bulk right? Where from and what was the pricing? 1l containers aren't enough for me any more :/ Mail them and ask for bulk price list http://www.credeoils.com/
2wheelsgood Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Mail them and ask for bulk price list http://www.credeoils.com/ Thanks for that
MTBeer Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Mail them and ask for bulk price list http://www.credeoils.com/where can you get coconut oil without going the online route? Online you are paying 50% more due to shipping. R151.00 for the product and R70.00 for the shipping. How strong is the flavour of this when used to fry foods or as a dressing over salad?
DaleE Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Crede are based in the Strand. Is it not viable to go collect from them if you're somewhere near the CT area? The flavour is not "strong" but certainly noticeable. I use the virgin not the odourless one and it's too strong for making mayo, etc. I prefer macadamia oil for that as it has a much more neutral taste. Am curious ... is R151 the bulk price? what size is that container?

DaleE Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 That was a 1l container. IIRC (see earlier in this thread) they do a 15 or 20 liter bulk container as well. You will need to mail them and ask for prices.

How strong is the flavour of this when used to fry foods or as a dressing over salad?The last bulk order I did from crede worked out at less than R90/l, shipping included, and I am in FS. That was for the more expensive organic virgin oil. Get a mate or 2 together and order 25l, you wont regret it. I split my 25l with a friend and it lasts us about 6 months. With regards to the flavour, it is quite strong but I just love it! As I said in a previous post I think coconut is one of those tastes you either love it or hate it.
DaleE Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 A question for those of you who have tried Maf-style training... Did you ever do the maf-test of measuring 5 intervals? If so, how quickly did you see improvement? In other words, am I expecting too much to see a big change in 2 weeks ... or a month?
kevin Walter Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Short answer: You should see pretty notable results after a month, 2 weeks prob a little soon. The results I would expect would be more to do with maintaining higher energy levels well riding and as a result being faster. Long answer: I hit that maffetone style training where i limited my HR to 180-age-5 when training and I put hours in (12+hrs a week) for around 6 months. Theres no doubt it works and improved my stamina for the long days in the saddle because your fat burning system is trained up in the end I could ride for 6 hr periods with minimal carbs (dried fruit, biltong and nuts only) and was faster than when I started. I hit a plateau though where I was exhausted, always on the verge of knee injuries (from high wear) and was not improving anymore.. I have since gone to a coach (bikefit.co.za) who throws hard intervals at you twice a week with base training over the weekend (currently I'm putting in 6-10hrs a week). I've been doing this since Nov last year and I must say the results are far more noticable and I would recommend this style of training. After the first month I was already far fitter than I'de ever been and actually more rested too. You could even just get a training program electronically and do the training at home if coaching doesn't fit the budget (coaching is around R550 a month) and personal time etc, these programs are emailed at the begging of the week and your results are monitored to make sure you are progressing. Good luck with the training!
DaleE Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Excellent. Many thanks for a detailed response.

Odourless is like half the price. You'll definitely notice a coconut flavour if you use the unrefined kind. http://www.oliveoil.co.za/coconut-oil/ Prices look good but they only seem to offer refined, I'm looking for natural/virgin. I tried credeoils but they say they only do 1l containers. Even so if I buy more than half a dozen it'll work out cheaper than Dischem.

They do bulk, try mailing Amore @ credeoils:http://amore@credeoils.com.

Leon Besaans Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Hello guys, Just returned form a wonderfull trip to Dusseldorf (Business and some pleasure), and I must say I thought the diet will be a challenge, but it was a breeze. European breakfast consisted of salmon, cold meats, olives, cheese… Lunch I found some green cabbage with smokey sausage and dinner was typically a harm hock with sauerkraut. Not to bad….. Oh… I did have a few jugs of the local Alt, but I did not die. What is interesting is the amount of little corner bakery's you find, and they always packed to the brim with people buying some form of pastry bread etc. The germans don't seem to be an obese lot, you hardly see overweight people. Also, they are absolutely fat obsessed, you van buy varying grades of % fat yogurt for instance, 1%, 2%, 3.5% etc, and when we got a vanilla flavored latte from Starbucks they actually warn you that it has cream in it (Yes I know, the latte was full of sugar), When I ordered plain coffee with cream they are astonished, asking really?? What is beyond shocking is the rubbish the airlines offer you on board. I should really have taken a pic…. Pure sugar breakfast crazy.Anyway, thought I would share with you.
