I’m 77 and my window is noon to 3 sometimes 4pm. MCT oil seems best for me prior to 5 km walk at 7am and it appears my alertness peaks about 10am when I study 2nd language…. I take no meds and have no health problems…. Keto days 4 outta 7 ( 3 carb days) metabolically flexible is a bonus for me… weight finally stable

This is helpful. I've been wanting to start intermittent fasting but my big barrier is that I take a medication in the morning (exactly 12 hrs from the evening dose) that is fat-soluble, requiring that I take it with fat. I always thought this meant that I can never do I.F., but recently I've been trying MCT oil alone as my morning fat source and I think it's working! I'm getting many of the benefits of I.F. even thought I'm technically breaking my fast. I've also noticed that if I eat any other fat, like 1 tbsp of butter with the AM med, it triggers a hunger drive, which MCT doesn't seem to do. I just wanted to post this in case others are in the same boat.

So basically, MCT oil technically breaks a fast but is great to use every once in a while to help the body's ketone production.

Key note - when using MCT oil in hot liquids like coffee ☕ and tea. Make sure that you allow the coffee or tea 🍵 to cool down for a bit so that the MCT oil isn't broken down and you still get maximum benefits while avoiding upsetting your stomach.😊💖💯

You know sometimes there is so much info in your vids I am never sure what to do.

I fast from 6pm to 8am everyday and add 1 teaspoon of MCT powder and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in my last meal, and around 9pm or so, i notice what feels like growth hormones every time. Not sure what is going on, but feel 20 years younger. Also noticed i am not hungry at all anymore, , i only eat now to get my minerals. The first week i lost 3 belt notches, and now it stabilized off. I am sure i could do a 24 hour fast and not even feel hunger. Typical meals: 8am - Steak, Egg, & Cheese sub; lunch - Chopped steak and salad, dinner: Chopped chicken, beans, slaw, mct powder, coconut oil. No snacks in between.

I've been experimenting with MCTs at bedtime to help prevent the night time hypoglycemia whilst sleeping. Circadian rhythm can cause a large drop around 2am so if you are already low or have blood sugar issues it can cause shaking, sweating, hot flushes etc.

I take MCT oil pure C8 straight at teaspoon intervals. I don't mix it with anything. Once before coffee, once at a meal, and once before I start fasting. I fast 18 to 20 hours a day. I am still at the weight loss stage and don't want to break my fast, but once I reach my weight goal I will continue to fast for autophagy and to maintain my weight. I am increasing my exercise level and that will change things up a little for me for protein, etc. All the information you provide is very helpful. Thank you.

For anyone new to MCT oil, start out with a tiny bit. I took more than I should have once, and let me say...be close to your bathroom.

I had just taken mct oil with coffee while watching your video. Thnx. Timely.

[bryanbair]

Thx for another great video. I was actually wondering about this question. I’ve been eating my last meal around 7PM and not eating again until 11AM. I’ll try it with my last meal, as I’d like to reap the greatest benefit.

[nickma]

I’m not worried about it anymore. Good information as always. I broke my 18-20 hour fast with my version of bulletproof coffee (no sugar or substitute) for about 6 months.

[kindnesstoall]

Good info. Needed to hear as a refresher regarding mct oil. Thnx

[SoundAsleepSpace]

I can’t use mct coconut oil at night it keeps me awake it really kicks my metabolism in, it’s better for me in the morning coffee i also use a pinch of Himalayan pink salt with it my energy is through the roof

[EricHebting]

Thanks Thomas. I am gonna add it to my routine (in my last meal before I fast)
