So its been a couple of months of extending my fast beyond the 42 hours, which was the goal I initially set for this month and last.
Surprisingly to myself its not been as hard as I thought it would be, and extended fasting really does get easier with more fasting believe it or not.
One of the habits I have decided to do incorporate into my ” break-fast” is to add in MCT oil into my black coffee as the first “food” item going back into my body to assist & promote extended ketone production in my liver, or so Ive read.
From my research on how to end a fast (primarily when I do a 5day fast) I found that there was a significant amount of “health” promoters who suggest adding in MCT Oil for reasons such as:
“BENEFITS OF MCT OIL WHILE INTERMITTENT FASTING…
- Prolonged Satiety- may help extend fasting period
- Increased Weight Loss
- Increased Energy Expenditure
- Enhanced Longevity
- Improved Blood Sugar
- Enhanced Brain Function
Though more research needs to be done on the effects of combining the use of MCT oil while intermittent fasting, there seems to be a lot of potential benefits with any use of MCT oil.: As per
Once I have established a true measure of establishing if my ketones or weight loss is increased with the MCT, I will update. What I can say for now it that the product is very edible, great on salads and my brain tells me “yeh, this is easy “. :).
