If you look at a coconut, you'll see 3 depressions on 1 end of it. Take a sharp knife or an ice pick and pierce one of the depressions, until your weapon of choice enters the coconut. Then pierce a second depression. That will release the coconut water (which is completely edible, by the way.)

You can now take a hammer and whack the coconut around its equator and it will crack open after a few good whacks. Then you just have to pry the coconut meat from the shell.

Now, if you get a "green coconut"---which still has the husk on it, you can use a serrated knife to "saw" through the husk and the shell. The green coconut is a slightly immature coconut, so the meat is almost gelatinous and very creamy in texture. It makes good eating by simply scooping the meat with a spoon. That is the coconut they prize in the Philippines for eating, drinking and making coconut products. My friend tells me that the husk is used as a household "scrubber" for floors, pots, and pans. And it makes sense because it is tough and fibrous.

OMG, those green coconuts with that "brush" all over them are horrible to open!!! Mr. Ski ended up using power tools (drill and then saw) to open it.

It's one of those foods you have to "work for". So I don't mind it occasionally. On the days I do spend opening and processing one, I don't do my "exercise" because I've already done it.

I love it! An exercise routine based on opening coconuts! We should have a challenge!!!
Thanks for the chuckle.

So I guess the point is, BB, that coconut (being a nut) is not allowed on a strict induction period. However, since you are doing something slightly different in your metabolic typing perhaps you could use it. Perhaps it is something, if you REALLY wanted it, that you could ask the counselor.

In any case, welcome to the boards and good luck!!!
