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
