MCT - The Secret To Healthy Weight Loss

If you’ve ever looked into keto diet or intermittent fasting, you may have heard something about MCT and its role in keeping you in ketosis and maintaining fat-burning state for an effective weight loss!

MCT is a great addition to the diet because it can be used as an instant source of energy – both in the form of energy-dense fat and the conversion to ketones, particularly, for individuals who are following a keto diet.

At this point, you might be wondering ‘how does MCT help in promoting weight loss?’ Read on and discover the secret to a healthier you!

What is MCT?

MCT, or medium-chain triglyceride, is a form of easily digestible fats native to coconut and palm oil, and it is also found in some full-fat dairy products. MCT can also be extracted from food to create a supplement like Coconut Oil Extract - MCT Enhanced Fat Burner.

Unlike other types of fats, MCT is metabolised by the body more quickly because of its shorter chain length which makes it easier to convert to energy without being stored as body fat.

MCT does not go through the normal digestion process; it is transported from your gut to the liver to be used as an immediate source of energy or to create ketones. Ketones are the by-product that your body produces when your liver starts to break down large amounts of fats.

Ketones are an alternative fuel source only produced when your body is short on carbohydrates. This usually occurs during fasting, or when you’re on a keto diet – basically, any time there is a short supply of glucose to meet your body’s requirements!

So, what’s the difference between MCT and Coconut Oil?

Coconut oil and MCT oil are not the same. It’s important to recognise the distinction because although both healthy fats stem from coconuts, they don’t give the same effects on fat metabolism in the body.

Why is MCT Beneficial for Weight Loss?

MCT has many properties that make it a great weight loss aid! Let’s explore the benefits of MCT:

1. Weight loss and achieve ketosis more easily on your keto journey

MCT aids in calorie and fat burning and also helps the body get into ketosis faster. During ketosis, the body burns fat to fuel itself, which may lead to rapid weight loss.

2. Increased energy production

MCT is readily metabolised in the liver to provide a rapid energy boost throughout the day or to enhance exercise performance through reducing lactate build-up.

3. Less likely to be stored as fat

MCT is processed differently from other fats and go directly from the gut to the liver for energy conversion. This also means they have less opportunity for deposition into fat tissue.

4. Increase satiety (feeling of fullness)

MCT not only helps you get full but also ensures you will stay full for a longer period of time. As a result, you need less food to feel satisfied, compared with a diet lower in fat.
