It’s a type of fatty acid commonly found in foods like butter, coconut oil, and whole milk<\/strong>. It has two main purposes: either to burn fat or be stored as body fat<\/strong>. And though these foods are rich in MCT, none contain just MCT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n MCT oil, on the other hand, is a supplement that’s 100% MCT. It’s a colorless, odorless, flavorless substance that metabolizes quickly<\/strong> which allows for easy consumption, and is immediately used for energy instead of storing it as fat<\/strong> which is why it’s prominent in a lot of ketogenic diets. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Though there is still much research to be done regarding the health benefits of MCT oil, its ketone production is said to have a lot of potential in helping aid in a lot of ways like<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Should you be taking MCT oil?

Taking it before your workout or during that dreaded afternoon slump can help you power through the rest of the day<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n MCT oil can be consumed as is since it is flavorless (thank god, right?) but of course, not everyone likes the sound of taking a shot of pure oil every day. Instead, you can opt to incorporate them into your meals like your everyday coffee or smoothie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recommended serving suggestion is to not go beyond 4 to 7 tablespoons in a day<\/strong> as it can cause gastrointestinal distress<\/strong> but it’s also best to consult your doctor or registered dietitian before supplementing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Recipe is taken from Sweet as Honey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1\/4 cup of hot brewed espresso For the full procedure, visit Sweet as Honey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recipe is taken from Bulletproof<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 pound of carrots, peeled and sliced thin For the full procedure, visit Bulletproof<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recipe is inspired by Low Carbe Diem<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 slices of bacon, cooked For the full procedure, visit Low Carbe Diem<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We know you loved using the Booky app for discovering the newest places in your city.
