Hello,
I am considering using MCTs or coconut oil, but I have a few questions. I know that some of the benefits for MCTs are as follows:
-Thermogenic effect
-Quickly converts to energy; processed similar to carbohydrate
-Satiating effect
Questions:
1) Should MCTs be used only on low carb/no carb diets? I am cutting on a moderate carb diet right now. I'm not doing exact ratios, but I would estimate that I generally eat 40-30-30. Will MCTs work OK?
2) Are MCTs truly effective? So far, I have found mixed results from studies (on humans). Please advise.
