Compared to much less healthy long-chain triglycerides, MCTs:
Metabolize faster
Convert into energy more quickly
Are much less likely to be stored as body fat
MCTs are the “superfats” that will help you lose weight and burn more fat and calories.
MCTs help your body become efficient at burning fat for fuel so you can enjoy the instant, fat-powered energy surge that comes with it.
MCTs are a key element of a low-carb, high-fat diet like the ketogenic diet. When you are fat adapted, you shift from being a ‘sugar burner,’ utilizing glucose as your body’s main source of fuel, to becoming an efficient ‘fat burner’.
In addition, fans of MCTs describe feelings of clearer thinking and more stamina.
