2. MCT Oil
MCT oil is created by removing MCTs from palm oil. It is sold online and at natural food stores. MCT is an abbreviation for medium-chain triglycerides, a form of fat that is digested differently from long-chain fatty acids present in most meals. MCTs are quickly absorbed by the body and travel straight to the liver, where they can be utilized for energy or transformed into ketones for use as an alternate fuel source due to their shorter length. Several studies have demonstrated that medium-chain triglycerides boost metabolic rate. In one research of eight healthy men, adding 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 grams) of MCTs per day to the men’s regular diets raised their metabolic rate by 5% over a 24-hour period, resulting in an extra 120 calories expended each day. Furthermore, MCTs may lower appetite and increase muscle mass retention during weight reduction. Replacing part of your fat in your diet with 2 tablespoons of MCT oil per day may help you burn more fat. To avoid potential digestive side effects such as cramps, nausea, and diarrhea, start with 1 teaspoon daily and gradually increase the dosage.
