Healthy fat does not make you fat.
You burn it for energy.
Lots of Carbs and sugar (the majority of a lot of people's intake) make you fat.
Sugar has to go through 24 steps to be digested. And when you over-do it, it is stored as fat.
C-8 MCT oil goes through 2 steps.
Doesn't even involve your liver. Straight to the brain for instant energy. No fat storage.
Now don't think you can eat 2lbs of fatty Rib-eye or 12 ounces of MCT oil and that is a good thing.
Cole, which Coconut oil do u use?
Consider that the long chain (C12) fatty acids in regular coconut oil are not ideal
Medium Chain are best (hence MCT), or C-8 and C-10.
They centrifuge the oil and the short and long chain acids are stripped out if memory serves, leaving the mediums. Costs more to do, but worth it IMO.
