Really impressed with your presentation! I do a 72hr fast every month if I can and use MCT oil in my coffee (also a spoonful of heavy cream) and it really helps with the hunger issues , particularly through the first day. If it's 'breaking' anything, it doesn't matter because at the end of the 72hrs , I feel sensational in both body and mind ❣️
Are you doing it for fat loss or other health reasons? I need to lose belly fat and would like to try fasting and the most I’ve gone is 24 hrs then I eat 😣 but I wonder if I use MCT oil if it will help me go longer.
@@watermelon4738 If you're primarily doing it for weight loss , then try some in your coffee and try a 36hr first . It also depends what you are consuming preceding your fast. If you are doing keto or low carb, fasting is more manageable. The hunger waves are no where near as strong. Good luck and look for other vids on the benefits of fasting to motivate you 💪
I take MCT oil once daily in my coffee with heavy cream and it’s ADF lost 9 pounds in my first month… I am just happy with my results. And am feeling great
Any thoughts on using MCT oil during a prolonged fast for cancer therapy? I have fasted 7 days/month since diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I want to try a 30 day fast, but I have don’t have a lot of body fat currently so I was thinking of using a little MCT oil to get me through. Would love to hear your thoughts on this and MCT/fasting/cancer in general.
It sounds like a pretty reasonable thing to try--using MCT oil to help facilitate a longer fast. :) It could probably help boost ketones in someone without a lot of extra body fat. Regarding fasting/cancer in general, there's not a simple answer. Fasting is often beneficial to reduce side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and fasting is typically a positive thing as it relates to cancer prevention, and potentially treatment as well. But cancer is very heterogeneous (different types), and different types of tumors may react differently to the things like extended fasting. I would refer you to the work of Dr. Dominic Agostino and colleagues, on how ketosis and autophagy could affect different tumor types. I'm not an expert on breast cancer, but I believe at least some types of breast cancer are insulin dependent, in which case extended fasting and lowering insulin levels probably helps with treatment. *Disclaimer: none of what I share online is individual medical advice.

I started MCT OIL in my coffee for energized me in the morning because I am going through menopause and I excercises like yoga and plates it gives me a good sweat.. how long does it take to get result
Thanks for sharing! Results vary, hard to put a timeline on it. But if you want to know more about MCT oil, I also wrote a blog post about it here: fastingwell.com/mct-oil-break-fast/

I would say it's fine, in general. But there are some pros and cons, as I mentioned in the video 🙂
