MCT oil can help you lose weight, and fast. Research shows that MCTs help you burn fat and calories, no matter what diet you follow. It might seem counterintuitive — eat fat, to lose fat? That’s the magic of MCT oil. It increases the amount of fat-burning molecules in your system called ketones. Your body then uses these ketones for energy rather than glucose from carbs. Burning ketones in place of glucose boosts weight loss and reduces inflammation.
Usually you have to fast, cut way down on carbs, or exercise is hard to get your body to produce ketones. With MCT oil, you raise your ketone levels in a matter of minutes, with very little effort.
