    Are you sure those folks are getting the results you are expecting?

    I don’t know, but you do have to count the calories from the oil.

    You should get all the same benefits, even if not keto . . . but they may be minor to negligible.

    (That's an evidence-based research site, reporting on current study findings. They're generally regarded as neutral, and they don't sell supplements, MCTs or others.)

    Personally, I'd prefer to spend those calories on something tasty, but everyone has different priorities and preferences.
