MCT Oil

MCT OIL (Medium Chain Trigylceride)

This is an everyday staple in my life. In fact I’m hving some right now (in my coffee as I type this!)

I  roll through my days with 3 tbsp MCT oil

  • First ( at 4 AM ) I put 2 tbsp in my morning coffee (with espresso and ghee/when I make Bulletproof) CLICK HERE for detailed guide and vid
  • With Lunch/ first meal – I drizzle a couple tsp over salad greens or already cooked veg with meat (tuna, beef, turkey or eggs)
  • 2 PM – I enjoy another TBSP from this super awesome packet, from TIN STAR FOODS

Thanks to TIN STAR FOODS. I get a pre-workout boost + back to work focus. I keep these babes in my laptop bag, purse, duffle and glovebox (safe up to 70 degree). I pretty much don’t leave home without 2 of these daily.

Now if MCT is new to you – No sweat!  I gotcha covered. 

Here’s what to know, how to use it, why and how!

 

 

Medium Chain Triglycerides is a type of healthy fat found in coconut oil. It is pressed out of coconut oil ( PLAIN coconut oil is white and pasty)

MCT oil is the best oils pressed out of the creamy white coconut paste. 

MCT is clear liquid found in dark bottles, kept refrigerated.My favorite brands are

ONNIT, TIN STAR &  Bulletproof    CLICK ON EACH To see

 

 

 

MCT oil is basically a short chain fatty acid (4-12 carbons) that has tons of health benefits. Before I give you the amazing reasons why you should totally be enjoying MCT OIL daily – here’s some super important facts to know before you go purchase and consume.

1. MCT oil is also found in palm kernel oil – do not use palm kernel oil MCT– it’s harvesting is highly destructive on the environment

2. MCT OIL should never be used in cooking – do not use in heats over 110 degree farenheit

3. DO totally cook with Organic Virgin Coconut Oil – also a shorter chain fatty acid (you should only be cooking with SOLID fats– so coconut oil and grassfed butter/ghee are top options)

4. Use MCT oil in these forms – 3-4 tbsp/day ( 1 tbsp is about 15 g fat)

plain, tea, coffee, smoothies, salad dressings, drizzled over already cooked veg, mixed in with goat or sheep yogurt.

5. DO NOT freak out about the fat content. Your body loves and needs this type of fat.

HERE’s why your body loves, needs and excels with Coconut MCT

It promotes weight loss, improves digestion, enhances strength,  improves brain health, reduces neurological disorders like MS, dementia, alzheimers & mood disorders.

Here’s the detailed bene’s on WHY MCT makes us more awesome daily

  1. IMPROVES HEART HEALTH – Consuming it improves your good (HDL) cholesterol levels, while lowering BAD cholesterol (LDL)
  2. ENERGY BOOST – gives you an all natural boost of healthy energy, thanks to it’s Medium Chain fatty Acids. When consumed, the MCFA’s are immediately digested and converted by your liver into energy you can use immediately
  3. WEIGHT LOSS – Aside from an energy boost, Coconut Oil stimulates your metabolism to encourage shedding body fat – thus helping you KEEP a healthy weight profile
  4. ANTI Microbial – It’s compounds can help keep your internal organs free from microbes.
  5. ORAL HEALTH – “Pulling” works! This is where you rinse your mouth with coconut oil. It’s antimicrobial properties help pull out the bacteria and viruses that live in your mouth along with food debris in your teeth.
  6. ANTI INFLAMMATORY – Does not trigger cytokines (response cells to cellular damage)
  7. BRAIN ENHANCING – increases neurogenesis (formation of new brain cells and protection of synapses)

 

I also use XCT oil (1 put 1 tsp in my am bulletproof now)

Brain Octane and XCT oil is even higher performing MCT’s – they are for people used to MCT oil- the next level. So if you have not been consuming up to 3 tbsp of MCT oil daily- for at least a month, hold off on XCT oil – it accelerate your brain and gut too much.. trust me!

How to take the edge off without putting some belly on

So my good friend is visiting from San Francisco this week AND I’ve got a couple big family get togethers coming up.

While this is all fantastic stuff.. I also want to stay looking and feeling fantastic.

Which means I should take it easy on the alcohol…

Now, this can be hard when you want to meet up at some comfy spot and catch up with your long lost bud, or you seriously need a little something to take the edge off around your relatives.  That’s exactly why I have a great 3 step plan to enjoy these social times, without the set backs

 

  1.  Eat before you meet up.

    Even if you are meeting for dinner, if you are at all hungry, enjoy a snack or smoothie before you leave for your rendezous.  I love a green smoothie or a small nut mix. –  My “Pre-Funk” Recipes are below:)

This way you will drink slower AND you will absorb you amazing nutrients from your foods better.

SO GET THIS:  Even if you pick the most stunningly healthy dish off the menu, once that alcohol passes your lips.. you will absorb very little of those amazing nutrients.  The body has 100% attention on any alcohol in your body and dramatically slows digestion and absorption of any foods that come into your belly.

So fix it!  Eat  30 mins-1 hour before you drink (use recipes below) then enjoy drinks without food.  OR have the drink on it’s own, wait bout 30 mins, then eat.

        2.  Have 2 big glasses of water for every drink you have.

Make those glasses at least 10 oz each.  This will slow you down and fill you up, so you will drink slower and less alcohol

        3.  Take a walk or dance after that drink!

When you get your body moving, you speed up your metabolism and get that alcohol moving through your body so you don’t feel it, or see it so much the next day

I hope this helps you enjoy your get- togethers more and still love what you see!
