we have dysfunctional energy manufacturing so that explains kind of that dysfunction and that dysregulation there which could mean less physical activity and less resting energy expenditure okay next up i want to look at lauric acid and medium chain fats which are so common on keto coconut oil mct oil okay there is a really interesting study that i want to break down this one was published in the journal the academy of nutrition and dietetics it was a meta-analysis looking at NUMBER_TOKEN different studies and it's really trying to break down okay if we look at people that have a lot of saturated fats versus people that had more mct and medium chain fats and lauric acid what does it really look like well found that if people were to really swab sub out more of their saturated fats for medium chain triglycerides and stuff like that well there was not only a weight reduction of about a half a kilogram but there was also a NUMBER_TOKEN centimeter reduction in waist circumference a significant reduction in visceral fat as well so this isn't like super hard data it's a little bit subjective but it is showing that if you're doing keto and you kind of swap out some of maybe the i don't know red meat fats and swap out some of the other like even dairy fats occasionally with more coconut oil and more mct oil there could be a positive metabolic effect if you look at the chart that's on the screen right now which we're going to come back to and talk about again when we talk about a different fat you'll see that the lauric acid doesn't really contribute too much to overall cholesterol levels it's kind of neutral so in that case it's kind of like middle of the road right palmitic we kind of want to neutralize and bring down a little bit but i think with coconut oil stuff like that we're fine we can probably like substitute some of those fats with coconut oil with mcts you can use either straight mct oil or i typically like to use like an mct powder because that way i can just add it to coffee and things like that so my recommended one there's one down below i put it's called perfect keto so perfect keto makes all kinds of different mct flavors they have vanilla they have unflavored they have chocolate they have strawberry which kind of tastes like nesquik it's awesome anyway they're a big sponsor on this channel so if you're looking to add some mct oil i would definitely recommend that you try their mct powder it is so delicious and if you add it to coffee it's just like oh my gosh it takes coffee to the next level so anyway i put a link down below that way you can save a few bucks so that link will get you a special discount on perfect keto powdered mct either unflavored or whatever flavor you want so again big thank you to perfect keto for the continued support on this channel as well and definitely check them out so you can claim that discount now let's move into myristic which is another what i just call it kind of a neutral fat it's really not super good it's also not super bad it's not providing a whole lot of benefit though now remember myristic is going to be in butter fat it's
