- One of our first videos on RUclips was about the weight loss benefits of MCT oil. That was back in May of 2017! Do we still use and recommend it? Are there any potential dangers that you need to be aware of if you add it to your diet? We address those questions in this video.

Thank you both for sharing your journey with us. Keith I completely feel your pain. Unfortunately we are in the same boat with a messed up metabolism. But you inspire me to continue on improving my health. God bless you both for being so transparent and willing to give your testimony.
Thank you both, really appreciated listening to this discussion. I am very new to MCT oil and and am really enjoying learning all about it all.
This is very helpful. The practical application of the research to what you yourselves do is reassuring. Makes the journey for others easier. The n=2 research you do is also enlightening. Thank you 😊
What I really love about listening to the both of you, besides the great content, is the way you both really listen to each other.
Ditto!
Yes, so respectful towards one another
@Kim V
They always let each other finish their thoughts🎉🎉🎉
Can’t thank you guys enough…started 21 day LCHF diet on 1st November..I’m at day 11 and have lost 5.4 kgs ..find it so easy to stay with and understand…thanks a million
OMG, your puppy looking into the cabinet behind you!! THE BEST!
I always love it when you and the Doc pop into my feed!
I have put off using MCT oil but after hearing your views have decided to give it a try. Very nice job to you both!
Great new info! I love your channel! Thank you for all you do. 💕
Thank you for the information.
Already ordered the oil before video ended. Will use your link next time, if I like it.
Thank you for this update. It is good to know what the latest research/trends say about the use of MCT oil in a low carb/ketogenic lifestyle. I also found it interesting how your use of the oil has changed over the couple of years you have been taking it. Though I have had successful weight loss without the oil on a ketogenic diet, I may start to include it in my coffee for the possible benefits you mentioned to the gut microbiome. Thank you again!
Another excellent video! Thanks Dr Becky & Dr Keith!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you both. ✨🎄🎼🎼🎼. HAPPY 2020 NEW YEAR 🥂🎊
Wishing US ALL GREAT success with our health goals & weight loss! Happy New Year to all! 🎊🎊
Thank you for another informative video. I bought the MCT oil from the link you provided to Amazon. I use it daily in my coffee. People are remarking how much weight I have lost. I am doing the 0123 diet, low carb. You guys are worth your weight in gold! One more thing, cannot believe the effect on my body since I cut out sugar- I never realized the inflammation the sugar was causing in my body. Happy Holidays ❤️🎄❤️🎄
Very good video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Great information.
Hi! Just found your channel. Thank you for the in-depth look into MCT and keto. I have recently come across the benefits of MCT and Alzheimers. Looks very promising.
Love the balance of coffee mug verbiage 😊
I love MCT oil and it has helped me all around, so every morning i take in my coffee! Thank You Guys for your help!
Thank you for explaining why MCT oil may not be the best choice for cooking! I appreciate this info & the suggestions for other fats to use for cooking...Great video, as usual!!
Thanks Doctors, Remember to keep it simple for us lay people who need a good explanation to sink into are hard heads. I may try MCT oil again. Have a great Christmas and enjoy your family 😘
Thank you for the wonderful videos
I have been in a weight loss stall for the last 3 weeks. Eating the same and my macros are on target. Yesterday and today I put MCT oil in my smoothie and it was enough to get things going again, as I saw a 1 pound loss on the scale today. I had used it on and off in the past, so no difficulties with it. I still have a bit of weight to go, so will continue to use it. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Docs. I'm new to MCT Oil and found this video extremely helpful. I will purchase the frother and try it in my coffee. I've drizzled a tablespoon over salad and it isn't bad at all. I'm enjoying your channel☕☕☕
Thank you so much for the information in this video.
I add MCT to my morning coffee and had noticed an irritation with my throat, that lasted a while after I had finished drinking. I blamed the coffee grounds and was going to get a new french press. I have just made a coffee without MCT and no problem! Now I have to think of a new way to take in the oil.
Great video. Very informative.
GJ :)
You have one of best videos on RUclips
Merry Christmas to the two fit Docs. The first one sent out.
...congrats on before/after pics-keep it up. Have two tps am/pm daily.
You both look 10+ yrs younger now...amazing.
I use the MCT powder in my coffee which I hope has the same benefits as the oil, and I will start alternating olive oil with MCT oil on my salads. Thanks so much for your update.
How much MCT Powder in a cup.of coffee please
Good video Docs. One thing I'd like your opinion on though is C8 vs. C10, and whether or not a more pure C8 is worth the extra cost.
I love that you talk about the gut microbiome! I take 1 Tblsp every morning & no more brain fog for me 😁🙌🏼
Effects on RMR is definitely intriguing!
I will keep taking it in my BPC. No adverse reactions yet..
Thanks🤩
Nice...as always!
Love your coffee cup! Says it all! :)
K
I just jumped right in Thanked God nothing happened. I was surprised how good it is. I just wanted to know how much to take. I'm using it as my "sauce" for my berries in the morning instead of yogurt or whipped cream. Thanks for the video.
My first visit to your video. Very good information! What is your link to Amazon? Interested in obtaining MCT oil from Amazon as you asked.
Word of caution, there are many reasons for heart palps on Keto, but here's a possible one. I was recently recommended to try removing MCT/Coconut oil from my diet. Next day my Palps were gone. That was on day 13 of Keto, if I'm honest it may just have been a coincidence and may have been at that point where my body had self regulated but it's worth a try.
Thank you for the updated video. I do have a question. Is baking powder harmful? If so why? What can I use in place of it to make keto bake goods rise?
Keith, Much better. Congrats on the super weight loss. You also had a much better beard before.
I'm on my second day using bulletproof c8 and I doubled my intake amount from teaspoon 2 times a day to 2 tablespoons and no gut issues yet but I have noticed a slight energy boost and less craving.
I like emulsified but can only take a tsp at this point due to IBS. I can see both metabolic and mental clarity effects. It is amazing how such a small amount has such an effect. But I have to take it earlier in the day or I'm up half the night. Great video.
What’s with the dark beard now Kieth? Are you aging backwards? Great results. You look fantastic.
(new to yours & Becky’s sites. We are learning so much from you both) Thank you. Lynn
Hair dye.
Thank you for the information. I usually get very tired when I take MCT oil , any thoughts?
I bought your product yesterday, and i take 1 tbsp and i will let u know how did i go with coconut liquid oil. Thank you and god bless.
I bought some It had lauric in it not a huge problem I guess most stuff in the store has it or doesn't say..The brand you mention looks better and the price is good
I started using 1 TBS of MCT oil in my coffee and I noticed it gives me an incredibly nice energy level for the last 2 hours of my fasting - I always fast 18 hours minimum each day but often 20 hours. It just amazed me what the oil does for me in terms of energy and made me start really looking at the rest of my diet to see where I could increase the quality of my food.
Yes I noticed that as well that the MCT oil gives me a boost of energy that last quite a while.
Chris Saenz does MCT not break your fast????
@@spriteespritee1237 Hi Spritee - it's somewhat controversal here is a video I found very helpful. I don't use the MCT oil outside of my eating window anymore but these guys are a reliable source in my opinion and I trust that the MCT oil will not raise my blood sugar or store as fat so I'm comfortable using it toward the end of a longer fast if I feel I need energy. ruclips.net/video/SZ52rDarXtw/видео.html
Spritee Spritee123 According to a video experiment from 2 Fit Docs, it does not break your fast & it is actually beneficial.
@@spriteespritee1237 Dr. Fung talked about different substances and fast breaking. It depends on the type and goal of the fast. If fasting for sugar control, then pure fats do not trigger insulin response or pancrease so it's functionally the same. But if water only fasting or caloric, then anything eaten would technically break it even coffee. So if you are consuming coffee on your fast, then it's likely you are not doing only water fasting so MCT would likely not affect your results. ( or something to that effect...)
In the beginning I used MCT in my Bullet Proof Coffee. Now I pretty much stick with coconut oil. I may go back to MCT again. Love your videos.
May I ask why you prefer coconut oil? Is it a taste?
@@merson812 Really, no big reason, other than I always have some in the cabinet. I used MCT diligently for more than 6 months and didn't see any cognitive differences. Coconut oil has MCTs and other things, so it's probably good to mix it up
I have thought of giving up MCT just to save money. It does help my brain fog, and I don't want to use supplements forever! am trying to keep it simple.
@@susieford3954 Honestly, I think the improvement of 'Brain Fog'is the deletion of sugar and carbs
When you do omad diet should you take the MCT oil at your one and only meal or would it be better to have in your coffee in the morning
Love you both. Do you drink BPC? Not sure if I should since I'm trying to drop my body fat.
Thank you.
Thanks for a helpful video!
With about a Tablespoon before bedtime, I experience vivid dreams and just about always wake up with the distinct feeling of having had a good rest. I also wake up less overall through the night. Newbies: Definitely keep your magnesium citrate intake in check, and watch out for Disaster Pants!
🤣🤣🤣
I just got a bottle of Butcher Boy coconut oil with 14g of fat per TBSP,I plan to use in my morning coffee.
I’ve been recently reading about coconut/MCT oil for muscle building, and now also for weight loss. Does it work both ways?
I am losing the visceral fat, even though my weight has been stable for over a year. I think I can attribute that to the steady use of MCT oil.
Thank You. Question.....is there a reason why you dont put butter in your coffee with the MCT oil?
Please look for research that comments on the potential of increased cholesterol levels as a result of taking MCT Oil.
MCT oil was what I needed to get over my brain fog hump. Even wit coconut oil, I had been struggling with brain fog for months before I started MCT oil. I just put it in whatever I need to up my fat intake if I'm not getting enough in the day.
WTF is "Brain Fog?"
@@snakebite6511 Brain fog is when you think of doing something, then immediately forget, but you know you were about to do something. You stand there for several seconds trying to remember, but it isn't just with one task, but every aspect of one task. Go get a glass of water, forget along the way, remember to get water, get into kitchen, forget why, remember to get a glass, stop at cupboard, forget, remember to get glass, set glass down, forget why. It's like there's something in the way of the memory and retrieving it. It's a form of short term memory failure.
cherryl IVE had brain fog for a few years , I kept thinking it was sinus ( but have done everything for sinus minis surgeries Please tell me what your brain fog feels like ? Do your eyes feel affected??
OPPS I am restarting lazy keto real soon ( I was sick for 3 months so was off everything MTC ,Collagen, etc even my daily vitamins
@@susanchase3715 When I have brain fog it feels like the inside of my forehead and eyes are fuzzy-feeling, kind of warm. I start getting a 1,000 yard stare where my eyes don't focus on anything and they sort of get stuck. I hope youre able to get rid of the brain fog, it's hard to function normally when you can't think clearly.
How do you find a reputable source? Thanks ❤aloha
Was supposed to expect another gastrointestinal surgery after ten years. Surpassed it, but was experiencing some hints of a brewing problem right before keto. Most certain that further words are unnecessary...gut is happier than it's EVER been. Yaaaaaeeee KETO!
Happy for you.
I started my keto journey in 2017 and never looked back. I lost 70 lbs and also "lost" many illnesses associated with being overweight.
When I had first seen the video the Mary Newport made on her husband Steve, I went out and bought a few containers of coconut oil. My friend gave it to someone in her family. I don't know whether they followed the instructions or not, but it didn't see to help with someone's memory. I gave a container to someone else I knew and it didn't seem to do anything for the person they were feeding it to either. I wish I could do my own study. What do you think about the MCT oil. Is that good for memory loss?
Man, you guys look good.
One more benefit, I would like to add. I drink Americanos throughout the day while I’m fasting, and the coffee tastes amazing with the MCT oil in it. It has similar effect to adding half-and-half to it, because it makes it velvety and smooth. Love it!
I agree, and it adds that ever-so-slight coconut taste to it that is never overwhelming. I drink Americanos as well.
How are you fasting with 130 calories per serving?
Coconut oil was beneficial but I am experiencing itching of the skin consuming this oil. Will MCT oil be more beneficial?
I take 80mg of Pravastatin, is it ok to use MCT oil in conjunction with this? I was thinking of adding a Tbs of MTC oil to my Apple Cider Vinegar drink. Your thoughts?
I have tried to download the starter kit but it keeps saying that there is a problem with my email address. Have tried three different addresses to no avail... help! We are in Canada.
Does cinnamon extract interfere with ketosis or breaking a fast? Thanks!
When I read Dr. Keith's cup my first thought was " I like this guy! :D
love your cup mate AUSTRALIA
Love the coffee mug, "Don' be an ass." Very informative video. Thanks
I agree with Cherryl comment. I find MCT oil to have a cognitive effect. It decreases brain fog. I'm surprised this was not mentioned since it is a major reason I take it daily.
Amen!!
There is no real data to support your claim. That said, I don't doubt that it does.
@@merson812 follow dr Annette Bosworth, she teaches to our military and patients re: cognitive help with fasting, low carb , and ketones!!!
Hi. I have started using MCT Oil Powder. I am not seeing any changes. what do you think?
How does it effect your coffee flavor? I have always drank mine black so not sure about adding fat to it yet.
If MCT oil does not break a fast, what about other supplements. My wife and I do IMF and take supplements instead of our meals as we usually only eat once a day. If there is a problem with the supplements breaking a fast when should you take them?
Working 6th night in a row -12 hours
Thank you MCT
My husband enjoys it. But I can’t do it. It upsets my stomach
I'm going to start mixing MCT oil and ACV, spices for a salad dressing -- double whammy. Good idea? Thanks for keeping me up on my fitness game.
@Ann Kiburz Sounds good. Would you mind sharing the recipe and its contents? Thanks
@@LordStanley94 I'm thinking a basic O&V salad dressing. So about 3/4 C MCT oil, 1/4 C ACV, sea salt, fresh ground black and white peppers to taste. Add whatever additional seasonings you want, whatever's on hand -- garlic, dried parsley, mustard, whatever ... Enjoy!
@@Anno44 Sounds good. But 3/4 cup MCT could be a bit much, no? Especially, if you give it to a guest who has never tried it. 😊
@@Anno44 Then on second thought, it also depends how big the dressing bottle is. If 16-20 ounces, it is fairly diluted in that sense. Best.
@@LordStanley94 I haven't had the chance to make it yet, that was just my plan. The measures and contents are very flexible, imo, so go with whatever works for you et al. I think the final recipe will be adjusted many times, each time. Good luck. (I think it best to try the first attempts out on yourself.)
What did you do to get ride of your gray beard! It looks mostly black with very little gray now! Instead of all gray?!!??
I have been taking MCT. Oil for a bit, I do have NASH. So will ask my Der about this. I was thinking it would help the liver.
Must MCT oil be taken with coffee? I take it neat after my meal (OMAD). Am I doing it right?
Dr can Diabetic people take this MCT Oil ,also people with blood pressure problem .Thank u .
I’m on WW (weight watchers). Should I take MCT oil? If so, should I count it against my WW points?
Also is the MCT oil TAKEN by itself from a jar as effective as MCT added to collagen powders?
I personally, don't see why it would matter cos the digestive methodology of the oil would be the same.
If I'm hypersensitive to MCT, How long should I keep 1 tsp as minimum dose before increasing to 2 tsp and finally 1tbsp ?
Can I get mct oil from coconut milk?
Do I have to be on a keto diet to reap the benefits of mct?
Is MCT powder as good as MCT Oil? Which powder would you recommend?
Daniel Nicholas wish they would reply
They did an earlier video where MCT powder didn't have the same effect on increasing ketones the way oil did. I found the same testing myself so I stopped using the powder. But everyone is different so powder might work great for you or different powders could give different results.
I practice 16/8 intermittent fasting. Would some MCT oil in my morning cold brew break that fast? I don’t want to spike blood sugar nor insulin as I finally have my prediabetic condition under control.
The testing we've done shows no glucose reponse to MCT oil in our coffee.
That is great. What about insulin response? I’m trying to keep my poor pancreas from having to work to hard. 😀
Question: I would like to use it more often, but MTC leaks out of me within hours and ruins bedding and clothing. Are there other ways to incorporate it into food, that will not leak out like that? I've just been adding to salad dressing and squirming a teaspoon here and there.😮
What is the impact if you have mct oil with C12?
What id you are NOT on a keytone diet. My friends mom is losing her memory. I told her to give her coconut oil. Would MCT oil be better? When your husband was on the MCT oil was he doing a Keytone diet? Would MCT be harmful if one was NOT doing a Keytone diet and still took this?
Bulletproof coffee tastes much better with mct oil. It's more frothy and smooth. I really enjoy it.
If you already have hypercholesterolemia can you take MCT oil?
Your beard is much darker now than in the images from a few years ago. Are you coloring it, or could this be a result of your keto diet?
What is your take on the relationship of regular MCT use and higher bad cholesterol? Started Keto and my cholesterol went up. Doc told me to reduce fat intake, eggs and red meat consumption. MCT is pretty high in saturated fat ... mine is 14 gr/1T or 70%.
Toni Selk , would love to hear their opinion on this. Dr Berg has some good videos on higher chol. On keto
Your doctor was likely only looking at general cholesterol and not the more specific types. Look into Advance Testing and the different types of cholesterol. You will learn that carbohydrates make more of the bad type of bullet style proteins that get caught in damaged arteries and Saturated fats tend toward more big fluffy ones that are neutral and not harmful at all.
Do you need to be on a keto diet to take mct oil ?
Is it necessary to count MCT intake in daily macros on keto diet?
Yes
When should I take it? With food or drink?
Thanks for the video. My concern is that the benefits of weight loss could happen at the expense of a heart attack. Hope the consumption of saturated fats in excess have no impact on your cholesterol levels?
You need to go to Low Card Down Under and just search "saturated fat".
Dietart fat intake has no effect on blood cholesterol in terms of risk for this. Its always been known.
Your body is literally making more fat than you eat when you don't eat it. So that shows heart attacks have nothing to do with intake therelf
I have been intermittent fasting (19/5) and using MCT oil and dropped 20 pounds and going for another 10! If I use MCT oil before I workout will I be using the MCT oil for fuel instead of using fat for fuel? Thanks.
Does it really help with weight loss?
Is MCT Oil to be used only when doing IF? Is there a better time of day to take the MCT oil? Also, if you’re following a low-carb diet vs Keto, is using MCT oil still a good idea or is it only recommended if you’re strictly IF and Keto?
I think it has benefits whether fasting or not.
@@2FitDocs Thank you. Happy Holidays to you both!
