According to a study that appears in ‘The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’, including MCT oil as part of a weight-loss plan improves weight loss by increasing fat oxidation and thermogenesis. Research published in the journal ‘Nutrients’ suggests that MCT results in greater satiety and reduces subsequent food intake.
Use MCT oil for gentle cooking, such as lightly sautéing greens, steaming vegetables, or adding to soups and broths just before serving. Keep cooking temperatures below 320°C. Exceeding this smoke point causes the oil to break down, reducing its potency and quality. You can also blend MCT oil into morning coffee, tea, or smoothies for an energy boost, use as a base for salad dressings or vinaigrettes.
