Yes to the coconut oil, been using it for a few years now and yes to protein. My thing was eating all day, I had lots of hot flashes, sort of put it off to hormones. Now I don’t have to worry about it.
Thanks now I don’t have to worry about it.

Subject: Re: [fast5] Hot Flashes after Eating
There are some foods that raise the metabolic level, and some of us have noticed that it leads to a kind of "hot flash" effect. One of those foods is MCT, which I was taking when I was younger for weight loss (it's used instead of cooking oil by bodybuilders). It really DOES raise your metabolic level! Thing is, there is quite a bit of MCT in coconut oil, which is becoming popular again.
Another food that raises your metabolic rate is protein. So if your meal has a fair bit of meat or fish or eggs in it, you might notice more warmth.
Foods like hot peppers and vinegar and nitrates (sausage, bacon, cabbage) tend to dilate blood vessels, which also has a warming effect.
And of course, hot soup is just plain ... hot!

Ok, I have already googled this and only found out that it can happen after eating a large meal or food with certain ingredients or spices. So I am curious if you guys notice warming or outright flashes after you break your fast each day? I though it was hormones for me [but I am way past menopause so blaming that wouldn’t work]. However, now that I am only eating in a window, that is the only time I have a flash, so it the eating.
And does anyone know the mechanism for flashes after eating? That I could not find.
Already noticing how much food I am NOT eating. By now, I would have been to the grocery store a number of times. Amazing and I wasn’t even gaining weight on it, but I certainly wasn’t losing any…
