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 oil break my fast is not very much we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering on keto absolutely not Karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out I think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating it
