so I get this question very often so I decided to do a quick video to answer it

will MCT oil break my fast MCT oil stands for medium chain triglycerides it

is a type of fat that is usually extracted from palm oil or coconut oil

coconut oil has MCT oil in it but when you’re getting MCT oil you’re getting

just medium chain triglycerides and that’s a type of fat that can turn into

ketones very very fast now we’ll break a fast well what is the definition of

break a fast is it the same is less than your ability to stay in ketosis or will

it lessen your weight loss results I’m gonna define breaking it fast as

diminishing the results of a fast okay now there’s many benefits of going on a

fast weight loss cognitive benefits mood benefits it has a huge benefits of

reducing your inflammation anti-aging benefits and those benefits come from

ketones directly as well as turning on or turning off certain genes for example

there are certain genes that are inhibited like cancer genes this is why

fasting decreases the risk of getting cancer but even the growth of tumors are

inhibited when you’re doing it fast so there’s many different benefits of going

on a fast but when we take MCT oil we’re not going to break a fast very much

maybe just slightly and for a very short period of time because MCT oil is going

to turn into ketones very very fast and the benefits of ketones are huge your

hunger is going to decrease you’re going to have better brain energy it’s going

to make it easier to transition into ketosis especially in the beginning if

your brain here’s a picture of your brain has the option of ketones or sugar

okay it will always use ketones first or sugar so if you were to take MCT oil

those ketones are going to feed your brain and your brain is going to be much

happier so it’s gonna help your cognitive function

it’ll help lessen the symptoms especially when you’re starting out

doing the ketogenic diet usually you’re not going to see any slowdown of weight

loss despite providing some calories because those calories are going to

quickly turn into energy now if you’re exercising it’s a good thing to take

about 30 minutes before you workout just a small amount to provide more ketones

to have more endurance so that was my long answer the short answer of will MCT
