Nille har mange spennende sitater hun har funnet om MCT-oljen på første siden i denne tråden.
Sitat:
MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides. This is an oil extracted from Coconut. It has 2 unique qualities: When you consume it, it converts to ketones through the liver in about 15 minutes, giving you nearly instant energy much the same way that sugars do, but it does not stimulate an insulin response; and it is generally not able to convert to storage (adipose) tissue.

Thus it is a fat (with all the mouthfeel and ability to carry flavours) that provides energy with less risk of becoming a semi-permanent part of your body.

It is particularly useful because the energy it gives while you are still eating a meal gives me at least a feeling of having had enough to eat as my energy has been restored. It gives enough energy that I think I end up walking and moving with more "bounce" and "spark" that may also help burn other fats.


Technically speaking, Coconut and MCT Oil derived from coconut actually give you less energy that other longer and shorter chain fats.

The advantage that MCT Oil and to a leser extent Coconut provides is speed.

Most oils digest throug a process involving the pancreas. It takes about 4 hours before the fat is ready to supply energy.

MCT Oil for some reason digests directly through the liver. The liver converts it to ketones that will circulate in your blood in about 15 minutes.

People who have grown up with sugar expect that "rush" of energy to be almost immediate. Low carbers can get that same quick boost using MCT or coconut oil.

So the only advantage is speed. It's great in the morning and since I've started using MCT Oil at breakfast I've cut my coffee consumption down to half a cup from 4 cups a day.



Det er derfor jeg tenker at dette er bra for folk som trener og som trenger energi raskt. Jeg vet ikke om cocosa er like effektivt her?
