MCTs
Key Facts and statements:
If you lose muscle mass, your metabolic rate automatically slows down. The cutting of calories in your diet promotes fat storage by increasing the activity of the fat storage enzyme called lipoprotein lipase.
MCT’s contribute less to fat storage than conventional fats or EVEN carbohydrates.
Dietary fats found in foods are called “long chain triglycerides” (LCT’s) and are made up of long chain fatty acids (LCFA’s), which are 16-22 carbon atoms in length. These fats are those that end up being stored on your body as fat.
