I got a jar of virgin coconut oil from Tropical Traditions to moisturize my face. I find it to be very tasty as well. Is it OK to eat while on the sample diet? It is wet milled, but according to the website, they use a small amount of heat during part of the process. I hope it's OK because it is so delicious and soooo satisfying to me. I guess I'm getting sick of olive oil :-)

regarding acne, yes.
but, if it has been heated, you may develop a dislike against consuming it, because of the pureness of your diet in general (which makes you more sensitive) your body will object to the trans fatty acids in heated oil.

So, the question is: how much heat exactly is involved?
