    MCT oil

    Make your own, seriously. It only takes 15 minutes, is no more complex than brewing coffee, and you will know what quality of butter it is made from :happy:. (my preference is for grass fed cattle).

    MCT oil

    Hi Alan, I use Ketosource.co.uk, and use MCT oil as a brain food. Start taking teaspoon with food and increase dose slowly each day, letting tummy to get used to it. Quantity and frequency of use depends on your own judgment: Is your brain finding it useful and responds with improved...

    Don't know what possessed me to read this...

    I must say that I never heard this before. What I do know, is that fatty liver is often followed by fatty pancreas. LCHF diet encourages body to utilise fat, and if you gently dial down fat component on your plate, your body will go to internal fat stores, with liver fat being first to go...

    Not loosing as much weight as I thought and the weight loss seems to have come to a stop

    Don't give up! Keto diet is a broad church, and you can try adjustments which may restart your weight loss: extra 10 - 30 minutes of exercise added to most days of a week, careful and slow reduction of carbs you eat daily, which should decrease further your insulin requirement while upping fat...

    Ketogenic eating and [lack of] body odour?

    Hi Jim, the same here when I went full carnivore. I sweated, yes, very much so, but sweat was unscented. I also felt that my teeth felt cleaner, gums stopped bleeding completely, and my breath was fresh/odourless. As our sweat smell is produced by bacteria, then very interesting question is...

    MCT oil

    Just bear in mind that one needs to get used to MCT oil. When taken in large doses straight off it can really upset your stomach. I would take no more than 1 teaspoon with food to start off. It doesn't mean that MCT oil is bad/harmful in any way, I guess that bacterial flora in your stomach...

    gallbladder

    The gallbladder stones can be made smaller, or if you are lucky, asymptomatic or even dissolved by adjusting your diet. If your diet is low in fats, the gallbladder does not empty then replenish on a regular basis. Bile remains in the sac long enough for spontaneous crystallisation to occur...

    MCT oil

    C8 MCT oil is really to feed the brain, it is used for biohacking - improving one's performance, and there is wealth of anecdotal data from places like Silicone Valley that it works. Keto diet is used to direct our bodies' metabolism to not rely on glucose, but to switch to using ketones...
