mct

Medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs are a type of fatty acid derived from that good old wonderfood, the coconut. Coconut oil supplies fuel directly to your cells, speeds up your metabolism, curbs appetite, increases mental clarity, boosts fat burning, supports the immune system and gives you a deep crispy tan in minutes (circa 1980. Although if sun worship isn’t your thing you should still be slathering on the humble coconut in many a beneficial topical (vs tropical) application for its bounty of anti-microbial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, ultra-hydrating healing skinfood goodness).

I digress – if you want to get into keto and stay there while enjoying the many benefits that come from following a low carb, high fat, moderate protein regimen, then join the medium-chain triglyceride gang and go coconuts.
