so I had a question from someone that
wanted to know why would you use MCT oil in your coffee well let's talk about
that there is something called bulletproof coffee where you're
combining one cup of coffee could be between eight and twelve ounces with one
to two tablespoons of butter and one to two tablespoons of MCT oil then you
would blend it up and drink it and there's many benefits to doing this
especially when you start out doing keto especially intermittent fasting because
it allows you to fast longer when we talk about MCT oil we're talking about
medium chain triglycerides these are special fats usually made from coconut
oil that turn into ketones pretty fast so you're able to generate ketones as
fuel without really changing your diet and a lot of times people add turmeric
or cinnamon or unflavored chocolate powder or even sea salt to spike it
sometimes even chili powder as well that'll actually give it a kick but
let's talk about the benefits of doing this number one you're gonna have
physical energy why because ketones are their preferred fuel of the brain in the
heart so you're gonna have more energy right away and especially if you're
working out it's gonna help you get more endurance all right next one is mental
clarity if there's any type of problem with your focus or memory what that
means is that your neurons are starving of glucose if you give it another fuel
source ketones it will prefer that it will like
it and your memory and your clarity in your focus will improve and then the
other thing is reduce appetite so if you want to fast longer and not be hungry
MCT oil is one option there now also ketones give you more oxygen less co2 so
compared to glucose it's just way better and also I already mentioned this will
increase your time of fasting so it's really important especially in the
beginning of your program to do this so you can fast longer because fasting is
going to be so important in anything that can speed that up is going to be
very beneficial also it's going to help in the
transitional phase so when you're coming off carbs and you're transitioning to
burning fat it's helpful to jumpstart the system to get some ketones in your
body right away now there's a couple points I want to mention about MCT oil
and I do have my own brand MCT oil and I want to just give you some insights
about this pretty much all of the MCT oil out there gets their product from
the same source and what you should know is that we don't grow coconuts in the US
all MCT oil comes from non-US sources so when someone says it's made in the US well
it's just packaged in the US it's grown in other countries my product is from
Indonesia but just realize that this right here is kind of a marketing gimmick
they don't manufacture the coconuts in the US that is done overseas and then
they export it now the other thing about MCT oil is I really think it's just way
way overpriced this is a 16 ounce bottle if you compare
this with other brands out there they're charging about twenty five thirty five
forty five dollars for a 16 ounce bottle that is just way too expensive
what I charge for this is $12.95 and it's pretty much the same product as you
see pretty much everywhere and if you start on keto or doing intermittent
fasting and you want to try this I put a link down below check it out I think it
could help you
