Question: what happens if you put coconut oil in your coffee?
Answer: Coconut oil has 4 types of MCTs, and 50% of its fat comes from the MCT lauric acid ( 7 ). Lauric acid appears to make ketones at a slower but more sustained rate as it's metabolized more steadily than other MCTs. Therefore, adding coconut oil to your coffee is an effective way to help you stay in ketosis ( 7 , 8 ).
