Keto diet is used to direct our bodies' metabolism to not rely on glucose, but to switch to using ketones.
There is a small overlap: some people find that when they come out of keto (diet failure, diet mistake, or similar) they feel awful. So using ketones like MCT oil, or coconut oil, the logic goes, stops a keto flu symptoms. Not sure if it is really effective?
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 must adjust to it's presence in your diet.
