MCT oil smoke point is 320 degrees and a typical cup of coffee is around 195-205 degrees. Boiling temp is 212 degrees. So just don’t add it to your coffee if it’s as hot as lava or am I missing something here?

[@MacSwan]

I use it with my coffee at 4 am when I get up for work along with some bulletproof creamer and it’s delicious, satisfying. I’ve given up so much in my quest to get thin and this is one thing I’m not giving up!

All noted. The problem is mct gives you tons of energy. I have trouble sleeping. I don't eat breakfast so I have to take it later in the day.

[@dunbabin]

Good Stuff Thomas, but I would like to dig into the advice of putting it in warm coffee, but not hot coffee? At what temperature does MCT Oil break down? From googling, it looks like the smoke point of MCT Oil is 320. Most coffee is brewed at 195-205 degrees. Seems like there is plentry of buffer there. I actually like using MCT Oil to help keep the coffee hot - the oil holds onto the heat better compared to if not used.

I just added MCT oil to my diet after a year of dirty keto, recently changing into strict keto with IF. Lol explains why I'm running to the washroom unexpectedly. Good tip thanks so much.

MCT oil is really high in fat and calories. No matter what the diet is telling you, the only way to lose body fat is to have a calorie deficit. And adding an extra 200 cal a day in my coffee seems to me like it’s a recipe for weight gain.

(1) Don't cook with it and do not use on drinks that are PIPING HOT just use it on warm coffee or warm drinks BUT NEVER HOT, JUST WARM. (2) Hot temperatures destroys the MCT oil structure and content of coconut oil. (3) Just drizzle it over warm food NOT HOT FOOD. # (4) Do not take it during a fast. (5) Do not break your fast with it. (6) Do have it with your second meal. # (7) Do not use it in place of other oils. (8) MCT oil is a supplement. (9) Increase ketone levels. # (10) Improve energy. (11) Improve mental focus. (12) Extend effects of a fast. # (13) More strength and stamina.

[@khymaaren]

As Mr DeLauer said in this video, he is not a doctor just some guy on the internet. I don't think the title in Dr Berg's name is an accident, on the other hand. I say judge accordingly. That being said, Dr Berg was referring to carb intake, i.e. keeping your insulin level low by not consuming carbs while fasting so that you are burning fat instead. That's how I understand it, anyway.

Question....Would mct in conjunction with a d-ribose and beet juice combo be logical for a pre-workout non-stimulate supplement??

[@leoceoliveira]

When I had mct I'd always use it in my first meal, breaking usually a 15 or 16 hour TRE... and I never felt bad. I think it's because (1) I used only 5 g and (2) together with a LOT of food that was full of fibre and stuff. I guess it's a problem to have it in the first meal with coffee or pure because then yes... it will shock the gut. Plus coffee is a gut irritant. But taking it along with food and 1/2 the recommended dose would give me stable energy and good gut response. The food buffered the entrance of MCT a bit, avoiding this shock.

MCT Oil can be used for low to mid temperature cooking. The smoke point of MCT oil is 320°F, which is lower than it's cousin coconut oil, who's smoke point is 350°F. Anything above 320°F will start to damage the fats, making the powers of MCT oil less potent. I bake with MCT oil all the time but I’m careful with it 😊
