Hey Sandra, the long -
chain fats in the nuts are a little tougher for the body to digest and will reduce the benefits of the fasting.

According to the BBC's website, Good Food, «Coconuts contain significant amounts of
fat, but unlike other
nuts, they provide
fat that is mostly
in the form of medium
chain saturated fatty acids (MCFAs)
in particular, one called lauric acid.
I would recommend seeing how you tolerate it without the
nut milk
in the morning coffee and perhaps add a bit more coconut oil or grass - fed butter which are primarily small and medium
chain fats.
Unsaturated
fats are predominantly found
in vegetables oils,
nuts, seeds, avocados and oily fish (a particularly good source of long
chain omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for a healthy heart).
My understanding is that Coconut is actually an MCT (Medium
Chain Triglyceride) and is fairly different than the omega3 / 6
fats available
in most other
nut products.
