What level of ketone should we be aiming for ?. And does this target change based on the time of day ?. My current level is 4.0 should I be aiming higher ? I’m at this level without MCT . I’m new to all of this 😄
MCT oil is really high in fat and calories. No matter what the diet is telling you, the only way to lose body fat is to have a calorie deficit. And adding an extra 200 cal a day in my coffee seems to me like it’s a recipe for weight gain.

I've been taking it after my last meal of the day to boost my ketones going into my fast. It seems to be working to keep my ketones elevated. PS: My baseline seems to be a LOT higher, since I started doing this last week. It's a BIG DEAL for me.
MCT oil and L-carnitine are antagonists, so taking too much MCTs could deplete your L-carnitine and vice versa. So, keep in mind to keep the balance of those 2 guys. Basically, every single item in nature, has its antagonist, like Vitamin C and glucose, or Zinc and Copper, Chlorine and Iodine, Nicotine and Vitamin B-12, etc....that's how it goes....
ive just starting taking mct from watching these videos by thomas and i like it. im doing a ketovore for weight loss and i eat my meals between 2 and 4pm. ill take the mct after the meal like Thomas suggests and it helps to get through the last part of the day when most people get tired. and it boosts my energy to get home and continue projects. if i take too much mct after the meal lik2 gulps ive noticed ill be all jittery and roll around in the bed and i have a hard time getting my brain to slow down and sleep. but if i just take a sip of mct its just right. i think during eating our hormones rise and it knocks us out of fasting and after the meal the mct kind of sets the stage to jump into fasting again sooner. without mct maybe it would take 4 hours to reach the same state that would take an hour when consuming mct after a meal. so maybe we are getting the earlier stages of fasting done sooner and getting more time with the more powerful later stages. this is how i understand it from watching these videos

Hey there Thomas,I have fybromyalgia since 1991,in 2014 i also developed from 1 day to another a immunity problem.endogene Eqzema.my own cells fighting again each other.alot of cortisone and antibiotics laters my muscles where complete done.Since a month i started to look for the best dieet for me and 3 times a day walks and yoga.its very hard as at the moment my groin is very painfull when i walk .There is not much to find for people in my case what would be best for a dieet and excersise.Tomorrow im gonna start with a 5 day fast.I heard that the body starts to repair cells ect.It would be nice to hear in one off your episodes about what people can do in my case.
Ok lesson learned about MCT oil, Well seemed to me would make a great base for home made salad dressing. Has no taste or smell so i used 3/4 cup MCT to 1/4 olive oil in my homemade zesty italian dressing. Apparently you dont want to use it in large doses as it turns your arse into a fire hose. Been putting a tsp in my coffee every morning without issue.
Have you noticed any weight loss? It would seem to me that adding that extra large amount of fat & calories would contribute to weight gain. If you were trying to lose weight, there’s no other way to do it then to be in a calorie deficit.
Good video Thomas! Those of us in the natural body building community new about the benefits of consuming MCT oil for high intensity training in the 1990s. In 1993, Bill Philips published an article in his magazine, Muscle Media 2000, and consequently, also sold it via his mail order shop.

I see that you answered this video 2 years ago.You say you used 3.5 cups of mct an .25 cups of olive oil. But I am hoping you used all that oil for a mass amount of salad dressing. Or else you would be in the washroom all day. Right?
@@lorenastone6085 did that once to expensive but standard salad dressing recipes have a lot of oil. Ive been on a high fat diet 2.5 years msintaining my high school weight of my 20s to being 58. Still like mct in coffee in am not butter.
@@GregariousAntithesis Thanks for the info. I'm trying to lose weight but slowly. 170 lbs at the moment but need to lose at least 10 lbs. I find taking the bullet coffee makes me a bit nauseous. Maybe, I'll try to put it in the salad. 😊
I totally agree. The summary notes were so helpful. I miss them. There is so much information packed into your videos, it’s helpful for me to read as well while I digest the video contact.
Story time! 2017 at 38 years old I decided to get into pro wrestling, found keto / fasting because I realized at 250 pounds of dad bod wasn’t going to cut it in wrestling . I find your channel and I followed everything and dropped down to 190 . Now COVID came along messed me up and I couldn’t train let alone wrestle , now I’m finally starting to feel better 8 months later . Getting back in shape and eating right again . This was first time I heard of taking mct during a fast and I tried it and guess what ?! I haven’t stopped going to the bathroom for the last two days lol good lord . I’ll stay with just using it when I’m eating 😂. Bottom line thank you for your channel and all the info !
Yeah, he warns against MCT while fasting for that very reason in another video I watched a bit ago. Very surprised he didn't mention that here, it must have escaped him for a moment lol.
This is great info, but I wish you would discuss how to start ingesting MCT oil and how much you can consume at the max amount and frequency. I have heard you say to take 1 tablespoon, but you can get diarrhea if you start at that amount. So where do we start, how long before increasing that amount, and how often is it safe to ingest MCT oil?
I'm tempted to train fasted, but ramped by MCT up to a higher level where lactate overwhelms the benefit of performance driven MCT, best of both worlds. Maybe.
Fantastic video, keep up the good work. life is About making sacrifices, you give up something of worth to you to get something You won't worth even 5yrs to come.
@Black Davies You're absolutely right,but many out there are confused about what part of stock should dey invest into..for me! I invested into Bitcoin and it has been a success for about six months now.

The protein powder I currently am going through is Nutiva MCT protein in a bag and I have been using it in my pre-workout smoothie which explains my increased max push-up count right now at 35 on the first set.
This morning I was about 60 hours into an extended fast, and I watched this video and wanted to see what would happen if I consumed some MCT oil Here are the results: 6:30 am - Glucose 78, Ketones 1.9, GKI 2.2 7:30 am - Started drinking 2 cups of black coffee and 1 tablespoons of MCT oil (1 tablespoon in each cup) 12:30 pm - Glucose 80, Ketones 4.5, GKI 0.9 I have never seen my GKI go under 1 before, and it feels a little odd. There is probably no reason to ever do this again, but the results are interesting. The readings I got at 6:30 am are similar to the readings I started seeing about 24-36 hours into the fast and what I saw yesterday. MCT can really boost ketones, at least for me!
@@CursedWheelieBin Not really sure. However, I found it interesting that he talked about how MCT oils practically bypass digestion and go straight to the liver and how some people think that MCT oils do not break a fast, but then he asserted that he still thinks that MCT oils break a fast. I wonder why? By the way, I imagine that taking MCT oil during a fast when you already have high ketone levels is probably not the best thing for weight loss. You want those ketones coming from body fat, and it seems like creating ketones from MCT oil could defer weight loss. On the other hand, my ketones went from 1.9 to 4.5, so maybe the effect is cumulative. It would be interesting if a person started a fast, got to a moderate ketone level burning body fat, spiked their ketones by consuming MCT oil (as I did), then continued to take MCT oil every few hours for a couple days. Would the ketones stay elevated, or return to some sort of baseline?
@@airplaychay1612 I do this some days, taking a little additional keto coffee during my work day, instead of keto fat bombs. It satiates hunger, while giving a lot of brain fuel. Ketones stay high, insulin stays moderate to low. I notice the boost effect from high ketones, particularly when reading and absorbing difficult material, and in generating novel solutions to problems. I think that what is happening is that the brain is given access to both glucose and ketone energy sources at the same time, and neurotransmitters are getting a boost as well from moderate caffeine levels. I think Thomas DeLauer is saying that it technically breaks a fast because you likely get a temporary minor insulin rise that comes even when eating no carb items, and it will slow fat being broken down into ketones for a while, since the body will sense high ketones and down-regulate fat cell sourced ketogenesis. There is also some discussion over it’s impact on autophagy, but unless you’re doing extended fasting beyond 18 hours, it may not be an issue for you. Regarding fat loss, I think that it does mean that when taking MCTs you are pulling less fat for fuel than if you didn’t consume anything. Yet, extra ketones will not go to fat storage but will be passed out of the system, which is why it can be measured in the urine. But, you’ll be far less hungry and I still notice a gradual fat loss…and I like gradual because I’m looking for sustainable and easy permanent lifestyle changes, rather than fast fixes that don’t work in the long run. You are still preventing or remediating metabolic disease and stabilizing insulin, all while getting a brain boost. It’s a good deal and another available option, one that you can cycle and change from day to day.
What is the difference between MCT oil and Extra Virgin Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil? From what I've read, daily dose of coconut oil is 2 Tablespoons worth. I've been using coconut oil to assist my IF for over a year now.
@@healthhollow7218 Look for C8 C10 as the ingredient. That's the nice part eating REAL food. Couple of ingredients and you nailed it. Think you're asking what's the best brand of cauliflower?
@@healthhollow7218 I just got through looking at a RUclips video with dr. Gundry talkin about MCT oil and its role in something called unlocking mitochondria. The ketones MCT can produce not only Power the body andthe brain but gundry says they help the cell mitochondria replicate. The more these organelles replicate the more power and cell growth they encouraged. It makes the cells dump power in the form of heat which scavenged stored fat. I'm no expert but when a cardiologist talk about burning fat creating stronger better cells I want to Google more. Keep Googling! I learn something everyday.

I am having a hard time taking MCT oil. It is causing diarrhea most of the time. I take between 1 tsp to 1 tbsp with coffee or matcha powder or in a meal. I’m old (73) but in good health. I’m on a keto diet and intermittent fast everyday. The diet and fasting have been going great for 2 1/2 months and I’ve lost about 32 lbs so far (268 down to 236). I’d like to get the MCT oil stabilized. Appreciate any advice.
Try really small dose - like 1/4 tsp and if your body accepts that. If it does then slowly bump it up until your body is comfortable with it. You must feel so wonderful with your weight loss! Congrats!!
I'm curious, this seems to contradict a video you made last October in which you advised against taking MCT oil until at least 16 hours into a fast - is this a result of new evidence coming to light ?
Hey there! I went to purchase some of that MCT oil powder from perfect keto like you recommended, and then looking at the ingredients, the first thing on there says “natural flavors”… What else I’ve learned on RUclips is that is a danger zone. That companies can pretty much put whatever they want under natural flavors. Can you confirm what exactly that is??… have you talked to anybody over there, since you’re so buddy buddy with them?😂😂😂
Hello! I have a question. I'm currently recovering from a stroke August 2,2021. I'm working to regain my left side in a rehab center. I saw your video on electrolytes. I'm 290lb and also back on keto as much as I can. I got the LMNT sampler pack and have been trying them after therapy sessions. Is this good for my muscle function? Are there others that can help? Thank you.
I've heard several people mention mixing things "into your oatmeal" while talking about ketosis and keto diets. How can you eat oatmeal on a keto diet? Isn't it crazy high in carbs?
I’m listening to these videos at work so maybe I’m missing something BUT: does mct oil pushing your body to create ketones push your body to burn fat in response when you’re not already in ketosis?
During winter, I'm not awake any daylight hours. I'm the ultimate night-owl, and after several years of trying to change that, I have come to be comfortable with being a metabolic anomaly.
@@artsynana9619 Oh that's cool. I'm into keto also, but I can't cook a lick. I basically do MCT, no-chemical turkey slices and veggie shakes, but the cravings for something else drives me nuts. Found Real Good Food frozen stuff which is excellent, but my brain wants ice cream - and lots of it.

Hi Thomas, Good advice on how to use MCT oil....a useful video. What I want to ask is ...Can you create a video where you can explain what happens if you strickly use COLD SHOWERS while on KETO AND FASTING. I do all three and after that COLD shower of 10min I feel like under opium. Very nice feeling But I'm not sure what makes this good feeling. I'm also convinced that COLD SHOWER DAILY even helps me to lose weight.....and much more....Let's put all together.
Does heat damage the benefits? I often wondered that there’s no info on google. I like to add a TBSP to chaffles and get it that way instead of on an empty stomach for obvious reasons
Do I interrupt the fast when I take MCT oil in this time. ? And when should I take it then? In the first 3 fasting hours or after 12 hours? Please be exacter. Thanks.

I bought some Medium-chain Triacylglycerides (“MCT”) at your recommendation. I put 1 tablespoon in a smoothie. However, I got sick! So gross. Tastes terrible! I became nausea and an upset stomach. Is this normal?
Start out with a half teaspoon. First time I took it, I used too much and felt like I was going to throw up. Try it in coffee with half and half, it's much better.....then work your way up.Takes time for your system to get used to it.
What about the millions of people that can benefit from MCT oil that aren't looking for fat burning or insulin control? It's a shame that almost every time MCT oil is mentioned on youtube, it's also mentioned with a Keto diet, fasting, muscle building, and fat loss.
If I use the MCT oil, can I still use a small amount of fat free milk in my coffee/ice coffee, or it replaces the fat free milk? Can I use a flavor in the coffee, or will that counter act the MCT ???
Autophagy seems to be dependent on protein consumption, scavenging it from damaged cells as the body requires it. MCT fat adds calories but not protein. I would guess that fasting for autophagy with MCTs is still valid
It will lessen because it contains calories. Autophagy triggered by fasting is depended on forcing the body to use endogenous energy stored which enables cellular recycling. You will still get the benefits of ketosis though.
@@littlevoice_11 I use different types of fasting for different purposes, depending on what I am doing. For weight loss, I focus on insulin control and carbs. MCT has minimal effect here. For autophagy, I either fast longer eliminating all protein, impacting mTOR (fasting mimicking.) or I use compounds like Sulfuraphane. Are u sure this the wrong way to think about this?
@@bhspitbull9271this sounds sensible but all calories will break a fast. The rest is spot on for your goals. MCT has many benefits and I suppose to be safe (and based on the research) if autophagy was a goal then i would only include any calories within my calorie window. Obviously some macros have a greater effect. MCT seems to be less impactful to slip into a fast, but it is still a source of fuel so still will stop your body from using it's own stored fuel for weight loss and cellular recycling (technically)
what if I don't get hungry in the morning? in fact, I don't eat breakfast ever since I was a kid (not because I was health concise, I wasn't even in my vocabulary or thought)
Can someone help? I have a half marathon this weekend and want to use mct oil but I’m actually afraid of effects such as the big D if you know what I mean. Can the mct cause dia….. during my race?

😂 Same
I took MTC oil and then fasted for 18 hours and took my blood sample and it showed up as Lo on for ketones. Even lower than I was before I took it
ive just starting taking mct from watching these videos by thomas and i like it. im doing a ketovore for weight loss and i eat my meals between 2 and 4pm. ill take the mct after the meal like Thomas suggests and it helps to get through the last part of the day when most people get tired. and it boosts my energy to get home and continue projects. if i take too much mct after the meal lik2 gulps ive noticed ill be all jittery and roll around in the bed and i have a hard time getting my brain to slow down and sleep. but if i just take a sip of mct its just right. i think during eating our hormones rise and it knocks us out of fasting and after the meal the mct kind of sets the stage to jump into fasting again sooner. without mct maybe it would take 4 hours to reach the same state that would take an hour when consuming mct after a meal. so maybe we are getting the earlier stages of fasting done sooner and getting more time with the more powerful later stages. this is how i understand it from watching these videos
MCT oil is really high in fat and calories. No matter what the diet is telling you, the only way to lose body fat is to have a calorie deficit. And adding an extra 200 cal a day in my coffee seems to me like it’s a recipe for weight gain.
Got to love mtc oil, take it every day and have great effect to my weightloss
How are you using it?
I always have a little squirt of MCT oil in my morning Yerba. Along with cacao, cinnamon, cardamom, a little bit of Mambe. Sweetened with Monk Fruit.
Damn..... Bro. Sounds like you got your shit together.
I do something similar with my organic coffee- 1/4 tsp HPS, MCT oil, cacao, & cinnamon. A great start to the day and so tasty.
What brand of MCT oil do you use? I have no idea what to buy!
@@healthhollow7218 just the giant one from Costco. Don’t overthink it. They’re all pretty similar. This isn’t the item I would be picky over.
@@dantemingione779 thank you😊it’s all so overwhelming to me. I’m new to MCT OIL. There are so many options out there that it’s just a whole new world I have no idea what I’m getting myself into. I appreciate you replying!
This is a great video. I can't thank you and your team enough for the content you have produced; they have changed my life!
I spread the word about your channel to anyone who will listen.
Hey there Thomas,I have fybromyalgia since 1991,in 2014 i also developed from 1 day to another a immunity problem.endogene Eqzema.my own cells fighting again each other.alot of cortisone and antibiotics laters my muscles where complete done.Since a month i started to look for the best dieet for me and 3 times a day walks and yoga.its very hard as at the moment my groin is very painfull when i walk .There is not much to find for people in my case what would be best for a dieet and excersise.Tomorrow im gonna start with a 5 day fast.I heard that the body starts to repair cells ect.It would be nice to hear in one off your episodes about what people can do in my case.
Question for you Thomas, is there a spectrum of fat adaption? Could you talk about that more? Thank you!
Thanks for the suggestion
Ok lesson learned about MCT oil, Well seemed to me would make a great base for home made salad dressing. Has no taste or smell so i used 3/4 cup MCT to 1/4 olive oil in my homemade zesty italian dressing. Apparently you dont want to use it in large doses as it turns your arse into a fire hose. Been putting a tsp in my coffee every morning without issue.
Have you noticed any weight loss? It would seem to me that adding that extra large amount of fat & calories would contribute to weight gain. If you were trying to lose weight, there’s no other way to do it then to be in a calorie deficit.
Good video Thomas!
Those of us in the natural body building community new about the benefits of consuming MCT oil for high intensity training in the 1990s. In 1993, Bill Philips published an article in his magazine, Muscle Media 2000, and consequently, also sold it via his mail order shop.
I just said this as he was 2 mins in. I used back in 90s
@Will Swift Bill Philips's or Thomas DeLauers?

I just made homemade Zeaty Italian salad dressing using 3/4 cup MCT 1/4 cup olive oil as the base. Seems like a perfect salad oil.
I see that you answered this video 2 years ago.You say you used 3.5 cups of mct an .25 cups of olive oil. But I am hoping you used all that oil for a mass amount of salad dressing. Or else you would be in the washroom all day. Right?
@@lorenastone6085 did that once to expensive but standard salad dressing recipes have a lot of oil. Ive been on a high fat diet 2.5 years msintaining my high school weight of my 20s to being 58. Still like mct in coffee in am not butter.
@@lorenastone6085 no i said 3/4 cup mct 1/4 olive
@@GregariousAntithesis Thanks for the info. I'm trying to lose weight but slowly. 170 lbs at the moment but need to lose at least 10 lbs. I find taking the bullet coffee makes me a bit nauseous. Maybe, I'll try to put it in the salad. 😊
@@GregariousAntithesis Sorry. Tried to put it in decimals.😆 3/4 cups mct and 1/4 cup olive oil. Is that for one salad? Or multiple salads?
Started my Keto and fasting yesterday. Figure I will give it a week and then start with the MCL oil.
Hello Thomas! Another great video. Could you please do a video about Leptin resistance?
Great video and it's confirmation to what my body tells me from using it.
I do wish the summary notes were in the description box like your old videos use to have 😪
I totally agree. The summary notes were so helpful. I miss them. There is so much information packed into your videos, it’s helpful for me to read as well while I digest the video contact.
Ppl stopped watching the vids
Story time! 2017 at 38 years old I decided to get into pro wrestling, found keto / fasting because I realized at 250 pounds of dad bod wasn’t going to cut it in wrestling . I find your channel and I followed everything and dropped down to 190 . Now COVID came along messed me up and I couldn’t train let alone wrestle , now I’m finally starting to feel better 8 months later . Getting back in shape and eating right again . This was first time I heard of taking mct during a fast and I tried it and guess what ?! I haven’t stopped going to the bathroom for the last two days lol good lord . I’ll stay with just using it when I’m eating 😂. Bottom line thank you for your channel and all the info !
Yeah, he warns against MCT while fasting for that very reason in another video I watched a bit ago. Very surprised he didn't mention that here, it must have escaped him for a moment lol.
Pro wrestling at 38? Kudos for doing the unusual. Love it
@@cbpuzzle thank u I’ll be 44 this year and still going lol gonna go as long as my body will let me
@@tripprogers8447 that's very motivating 💪🏽
@@tonya2817 thank you , here I am 44 now still sitting at 190 and feeling good .
Great content!!! Thank you for the deep dive on MCT.
This is great info, but I wish you would discuss how to start ingesting MCT oil and how much you can consume at the max amount and frequency.
I have heard you say to take 1 tablespoon, but you can get diarrhea if you start at that amount. So where do we start, how long before increasing that amount, and how often is it safe to ingest MCT oil?
Another great video on MCT oil!
I'm tempted to train fasted, but ramped by MCT up to a higher level where lactate overwhelms the benefit of performance driven MCT, best of both worlds. Maybe.
Fantastic video, keep up the good work. life is About making sacrifices, you give up something of worth to you to get something You won't worth even 5yrs to come.
Talking about WORTH!!. I worth 20 dollars, isn't that funny?
@Black Davies You're absolutely right,but many out there are confused about what part of stock should dey invest into..for me! I invested into Bitcoin and it has been a success for about six months now.
Do you guys still think 🤔 crypto is the future?!! With the recent fall of BTC.
@@peneloperiley6357 This fall of crypto is for a greater rising. Do you remember when 1bitcion worth 1cent?. Then it rose up to 60k dollars. If you could get my point i think now is another great opportunity to buy and invest.
I'm a leaned lady, but still don't know how to go about crypto trading. Do i need a special class to learn how to trade?.
The protein powder I currently am going through is Nutiva MCT protein in a bag and I have been using it in my pre-workout smoothie which explains my increased max push-up count right now at 35 on the first set.
This morning I was about 60 hours into an extended fast, and I watched this video and wanted to see what would happen if I consumed some MCT oil Here are the results:
6:30 am - Glucose 78, Ketones 1.9, GKI 2.2
7:30 am - Started drinking 2 cups of black coffee and 1 tablespoons of MCT oil (1 tablespoon in each cup)
12:30 pm - Glucose 80, Ketones 4.5, GKI 0.9
I have never seen my GKI go under 1 before, and it feels a little odd. There is probably no reason to ever do this again, but the results are interesting. The readings I got at 6:30 am are similar to the readings I started seeing about 24-36 hours into the fast and what I saw yesterday. MCT can really boost ketones, at least for me!
Do you think that’s because MCT oil kinds bypasses the usual digestion process?
(don’t ask me how though)
@@CursedWheelieBin Not really sure. However, I found it interesting that he talked about how MCT oils practically bypass digestion and go straight to the liver and how some people think that MCT oils do not break a fast, but then he asserted that he still thinks that MCT oils break a fast. I wonder why?
By the way, I imagine that taking MCT oil during a fast when you already have high ketone levels is probably not the best thing for weight loss. You want those ketones coming from body fat, and it seems like creating ketones from MCT oil could defer weight loss. On the other hand, my ketones went from 1.9 to 4.5, so maybe the effect is cumulative. It would be interesting if a person started a fast, got to a moderate ketone level burning body fat, spiked their ketones by consuming MCT oil (as I did), then continued to take MCT oil every few hours for a couple days. Would the ketones stay elevated, or return to some sort of baseline?
@@airplaychay1612
I do this some days, taking a little additional keto coffee during my work day, instead of keto fat bombs. It satiates hunger, while giving a lot of brain fuel. Ketones stay high, insulin stays moderate to low. I notice the boost effect from high ketones, particularly when reading and absorbing difficult material, and in generating novel solutions to problems. I think that what is happening is that the brain is given access to both glucose and ketone energy sources at the same time, and neurotransmitters are getting a boost as well from moderate caffeine levels.
I think Thomas DeLauer is saying that it technically breaks a fast because you likely get a temporary minor insulin rise that comes even when eating no carb items, and it will slow fat being broken down into ketones for a while, since the body will sense high ketones and down-regulate fat cell sourced ketogenesis. There is also some discussion over it’s impact on autophagy, but unless you’re doing extended fasting beyond 18 hours, it may not be an issue for you.
Regarding fat loss, I think that it does mean that when taking MCTs you are pulling less fat for fuel than if you didn’t consume anything. Yet, extra ketones will not go to fat storage but will be passed out of the system, which is why it can be measured in the urine. But, you’ll be far less hungry and I still notice a gradual fat loss…and I like gradual because I’m looking for sustainable and easy permanent lifestyle changes, rather than fast fixes that don’t work in the long run. You are still preventing or remediating metabolic disease and stabilizing insulin, all while getting a brain boost. It’s a good deal and another available option, one that you can cycle and change from day to day.
I use mct oil powder in the morning in a smoothie with whey powder and egg whites or green tea powder and super greens a couple of times a week.
What is the difference between MCT oil and Extra Virgin Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil? From what I've read, daily dose of coconut oil is 2 Tablespoons worth. I've been using coconut oil to assist my IF for over a year now.
C8 C10 is MCT and is shunted directly. Much bigger punch than larger molecules in EVCO that must be digested.
@@Yourdeadmeat69 do you recommend a specific brand of MCT oil? I’ve never used it before so I have no idea which one is the best
@@healthhollow7218 Look for C8 C10 as the ingredient. That's the nice part eating REAL food. Couple of ingredients and you nailed it. Think you're asking what's the best brand of cauliflower?
@@Yourdeadmeat69 okay that makes sense! I just ordered one off of Amazon with those exact ingredients so I hope it’s good 😊👍 Thank you so much!
@@healthhollow7218 I just got through looking at a RUclips video with dr. Gundry talkin about MCT oil and its role in something called unlocking mitochondria. The ketones MCT can produce not only Power the body andthe brain but gundry says they help the cell mitochondria replicate. The more these organelles replicate the more power and cell growth they encouraged. It makes the cells dump power in the form of heat which scavenged stored fat. I'm no expert but when a cardiologist talk about burning fat creating stronger better cells I want to Google more. Keep Googling! I learn something everyday.
Time to put mct oil in my coffee during my fast to try it out.
Agreed, brother

Now I need a cute little flask. OK, I’ll just do capsules. BTW, Bulletproof has little packages of MCT.
I am having a hard time taking MCT oil. It is causing diarrhea most of the time. I take between 1 tsp to 1 tbsp with coffee or matcha powder or in a meal. I’m old (73) but in good health. I’m on a keto diet and intermittent fast everyday. The diet and fasting have been going great for 2 1/2 months and I’ve lost about 32 lbs so far (268 down to 236). I’d like to get the MCT oil stabilized. Appreciate any advice.
Try really small dose - like 1/4 tsp and if your body accepts that. If it does then slowly bump it up until your body is comfortable with it. You must feel so wonderful with your weight loss! Congrats!!
Great advise. Timing is everything
Used to do that with olive oil.
I'm curious, this seems to contradict a video you made last October in which you advised against taking MCT oil until at least 16 hours into a fast - is this a result of new evidence coming to light ?
Cool Thomas thanks👍
Hey there! I went to purchase some of that MCT oil powder from perfect keto like you recommended, and then looking at the ingredients, the first thing on there says “natural flavors”… What else I’ve learned on RUclips is that is a danger zone. That companies can pretty much put whatever they want under natural flavors. Can you confirm what exactly that is??… have you talked to anybody over there, since you’re so buddy buddy with them?😂😂😂
Hello! I have a question. I'm currently recovering from a stroke August 2,2021. I'm working to regain my left side in a rehab center. I saw your video on electrolytes. I'm 290lb and also back on keto as much as I can. I got the LMNT sampler pack and have been trying them after therapy sessions. Is this good for my muscle function? Are there others that can help? Thank you.
Praying for you! Hope all is well.
Maybe ALA and B1? I'm guessing.
Coconut oil is MCT Oil and I’ve been adding it to my green smoothie for the past 2 days.
No, there's a difference. MCT oil comes from coconut oil, when it is filtered.
@@kojo1959 thank you for clarifying.
Thank you! This information is so valuable!
Awesome information, thank you !
Technically it breaks a fast due to the calories but it doesn't stop ketosis.
He literally says that in the video
Yes slightly then you go back to fasting mode quickly
I've heard several people mention mixing things "into your oatmeal" while talking about ketosis and keto diets. How can you eat oatmeal on a keto diet? Isn't it crazy high in carbs?
I’m listening to these videos at work so maybe I’m missing something BUT: does mct oil pushing your body to create ketones push your body to burn fat in response when you’re not already in ketosis?
Awesome 👏 great 👍 advice
I just broke fast with like 200cal of MCT blend in my coffe. I'll be back with an update ltr ;)
I did had less hunger. We had pizza and i usually can eat 4 slices of it. But I ended up having just 2.
Thanks for the great information
Exactly what I needed to hear! So funny. I came to RUclips hoping you had this exact video and you had just uploaded it 2 hours ago 😂
During winter, I'm not awake any daylight hours. I'm the ultimate night-owl, and after several years of trying to change that, I have come to be comfortable with being a metabolic anomaly.

Hi Thomas,
Good advice on how to use MCT oil....a useful video. What I want to ask is ...Can you create a video where you can explain what happens if you strickly use COLD SHOWERS while on KETO AND FASTING. I do all three and after that COLD shower of 10min I feel like under opium. Very nice feeling But I'm not sure what makes this good feeling. I'm also convinced that COLD SHOWER DAILY even helps me to lose weight.....and much more....Let's put all together.
Question/Update: ARE you still consuming MCT oil? Paul Saladino doesn’t recommend it, but I see great results!
Has your opinion changed at all ? ?
Saladino says too many things are bad tho lol, I take his content with a grain of salt
How does MCT oil work when you're ketone adapted? I am assuming you couldn't measure it because the body is used ro using it.
So does the presence of ketones make your body burn fat or does burning fat produce ketones or both?
How about a flask with vinegar, ghee and c8 mtc oil… take a sip every couple of hours…
Is it safe to use Apple cider vinegar and mct oil?
If I take MCT oil more than 2-3 days in a row I get really bad acne, anyone else have this happen?
Does heat damage the benefits? I often wondered that there’s no info on google. I like to add a TBSP to chaffles and get it that way instead of on an empty stomach for obvious reasons
Yes it does put it in warm water or whatever ur going to pour it in
@@henryvargas2915 what do you mean?🤔
yes - can damage benefits of MTC oil if used in cooking
@@InquiringMindsKnow they use MCT in many products
In another video Thomas said let coffee rest/cool before adding mct oil to coffee.
Have you done a video on what cough drops, headaches, etc to use
Should I take it before working?
I can expect it can reduce fatigue from additional energy
Love you thomas!!
You shouldn't say: i think it break fast. You should backup your statement with reference
I dunno about the size of a "swig" but it sounds like I'd have to book a reservation at the Men's Room.
Let’s me see if I get this right. You can eat a higher carb daily intake and still be in ketosis by taking MCT oil?
MCT pumps up that Ego the Arms and Chest too eh, Thomas 😂
So how much MCT oil should I take right before a bike ride?
Do I interrupt the fast when I take MCT oil in this time. ? And when should I take it then? In the first 3 fasting hours or after 12 hours? Please be exacter. Thanks.
Anyone have a point form summary of the 5 times? 😆
I missed them completely with all the other jargon going on. Good question.
#1 Right before / during a fast
#2 With your breakfast or lunch
#3 If you’re suffering from a metabolic decline
#4 During the initial stages of fat adaptation
#5 When you’re aiming to improve performance
When thought skipping breakfast was best now this😮💨
20 grams is roughly 1.56 tablespoons. 30 grams is 2 tablespoons. So, go from there.
You’re the best health centered RUclipsr
Is MCT considered a refined oil?
Possibly, but mct has a different melting point than coconut fat, so im merely guessing not that much “refining” per se
Yes.That is a good thing for anyone who reacts to lauric acid in coconut oil.
A bulletproof coffee ok during a fast? Will it still help?
Does for me…😊
I bought some Medium-chain Triacylglycerides (“MCT”) at your recommendation. I put 1 tablespoon in a smoothie. However, I got sick! So gross. Tastes terrible! I became nausea and an upset stomach. Is this normal?
Start out with a half teaspoon. First time I took it, I used too much and felt like I was going to throw up. Try it in coffee with half and half, it's much better.....then work your way up.Takes time for your system to get used to it.
@@jimb3457 yeah. Seems to be the same response every where. I will try a few drops and titrate my way up slowly. Thanks.
I did this! Teaspoon NOT tablespoon!
Still confused if take with meal before or after a meal?
Coconut oil during fasting caused diarrhea after fast
My weakness is overeating at night
Thanks👍
What about the millions of people that can benefit from MCT oil that aren't looking for fat burning or insulin control? It's a shame that almost every time MCT oil is mentioned on youtube, it's also mentioned with a Keto diet, fasting, muscle building, and fat loss.
I don't know if i missed it, but is there a part where the topic of MCT & Brain function gets discussed ??
He's got dozens of other videos that go over this.
A key topic. Also exogenous ketones are wonderful to help those with cognitive decline including dementia.
LOL Watching this, interrupted by VShred ads.
If I use the MCT oil, can I still use a small amount of fat free milk in my coffee/ice coffee, or it replaces the fat free milk? Can I use a flavor in the coffee, or will that counter act the MCT ???
What happens to autophagy with the MCT oil?
Good question.If you have fuel of any kind, your body burns it first.I would think it delays autophagy.Not a doctor tho.
Autophagy seems to be dependent on protein consumption, scavenging it from damaged cells as the body requires it. MCT fat adds calories but not protein. I would guess that fasting for autophagy with MCTs is still valid
It will lessen because it contains calories. Autophagy triggered by fasting is depended on forcing the body to use endogenous energy stored which enables cellular recycling. You will still get the benefits of ketosis though.
@@littlevoice_11
I use different types of fasting for different purposes, depending on what I am doing. For weight loss, I focus on insulin control and carbs. MCT has minimal effect here. For autophagy, I either fast longer eliminating all protein, impacting mTOR (fasting mimicking.) or I use compounds like Sulfuraphane. Are u sure this the wrong way to think about this?
@@bhspitbull9271this sounds sensible but all calories will break a fast. The rest is spot on for your goals.
MCT has many benefits and I suppose to be safe (and based on the research) if autophagy was a goal then i would only include any calories within my calorie window. Obviously some macros have a greater effect. MCT seems to be less impactful to slip into a fast, but it is still a source of fuel so still will stop your body from using it's own stored fuel for weight loss and cellular recycling (technically)
what if I don't get hungry in the morning? in fact, I don't eat breakfast ever since I was a kid (not because I was health concise, I wasn't even in my vocabulary or thought)
