Medium Chain Triglycerides

Using medium-chain triglycerides as a replacement for some other dietary fat, often around 1–2 tablespoons per day, is a common protocol. It’s discussed as a way to support weight loss because MCTs are rapidly metabolized and may increase thermic effect of food while providing fat calories that are less likely to spike blood glucose or insulin.

“Based on what you saying it reasonable if somebody wants to improve weight loss I hearing a sort of a constellation of things. What is it like a tablespoon or two of MCT per day? Is that kind of what this looks like for the typical person? Yeah, about that.”
