You can try it out. It must have helped me... I eat durian too which 
may have contributed to my weight gain. Here is a site: www.durianpalace.com
Do you have durians where you are?

I will do that.

No. I only use tallow from wild animals. Grain fed fat makes me itchy 
and gives me celiac symptoms. Fortunately I have a wild meat cutter 
down the road who saves me 'scraps'.
Do you have any hunting in your area?

Thank you again for your great reply!
