MCT Oil

Does anyone else use MCT oil in their diet?

for...?

I use coconut oil for cooking. It has no magical properties, it's expensive and has a fairly low smoke point but I like the flavor.

If I'm going to drink 200 calories, I'd better have a buzz when I'm done...

If you are asking if I drink oil the answer is "Blech! and no." I use oil in cooking, sauces, and salad dressings like one would expect but not whatever MCT is.

If it helps you to stay in a calorie deficit that is great. It will not, by itself, help you lose weight.

I use between one to three teaspoons in my coffee in the morning along with ghee...bullet proof coffee. I recently began the keto diet and this is where I learned about MCT oil. I blend it in my coffee and enjoy the frothy taste and texture. I am experimenting with the keto diet as I am trying to loose weight.

That’s how I learned about it as well.. I’m also new to the keto diet... I’m 268 lbs and needing to lose 116 lbs

I find MCT oil if bought as MCT oil is too expensive. Coconut oil is pretty much all it is and cheaper.

What are you hoping to get from using MCT oil or coconut oil? Personally adding hundreds of calories in a drink isn't beneficial IMO. But if you are keto and need some quicker energy, then consuming MCT about 30 mins prior to a workout may be beneficial.

Yes, I was intrigued by the idea of Bulletproof Coffee and bought some coconut oil for this. Maybe it didn't satiate me because I wasn't using the more expensive MCT oil plus grass fed butter (I jest.)

I eventually swapped the coconut oil for dried coconut, and added protein powder and chia seeds, and find this very filling:

I was using cocunut oil and butter in my coffee while fasting but couldnt stand the taste of coconut so i bought mct oil. Much much better with hardly any flavor
