So, in Episode 12/BODYio Research review I learned that pure MCT oil should only be used pre-workout which is good to know because I was adding some to my morning coffee.I was wondering what the deal is with coconut oil? I saw it in my health food store and it looked white/solid (I guess like the meat of a coconut?). Is that what it is? If so, how do you "eat' it? Do you scoop out a chunk? How can you mix it with anything (i.e. coffee) if its a solid?thanks for any help.
I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole podcast yet, but what was the reason for not using pure MCT in the morning? I do it too, so need to adjust. Is pure bad, coconut good?

Pretty much folks who don't train have no real need for MCT Oil. It doens't hurt to use a tablespoon or two a day though, like with the AM Shake or a Pre-Workout. Both are good, just need to use them appropiately.
Ok. Thanks. so can it be "mixed" with say coffee or will it be lumpy?
It'll melt in the coffee, but the fat will float at the top. Blend it up.
Okay thanks. Ya I use 2 teaspoons in my am shake instead of coconut oil as this way I don't have to melt it and it's less greasy. I like there is basically no taste. And to be honest, that's pretty much the only time I use MCT oil as I don't always have time to take some right before I train in the afternoon.
I think a small amount of MCT is fine. Also they do sell liquid coconut oil, so that is an option as well.
I didn't totally understand the science behind it, but he states concerns for one's liver and he clearly DOESN'T recommend MCT oil (pure) for 'non-athletes'.Cue up Episode 12 at the 1:17:00 mark at this link: https://soundcloud.com/body-io-fm

He was rather vague about it. You have to consider the context of the whole thing. He has recommended MCT oil in the past. Also Kiefer considers anyone who exercises to be an athlete so that is something you must consider as well.I have been following Kiefer for 3 years now and he has very few absolute recommendations, even for similar people in similar situations. Everything is usually taken on an individual basis.It's possible Kiefer is anti-MCT oil now, but I want to see it in writing via an article or at least a clear guideline of when it should be used.

Also Kiefer considers anyone who exercises to be an athlete so that is something you must consider as well.I understand what you're saying, but for me the mere mention of 'cirrhosis' (although it was in reference to sedentary people) is enough for me to nix the pure MCT in my a.m. coffee and only use it in my pre-workout. Just not worth any detrimental effects IMO.I have been following Kiefer for 3 years now and he has very few absolute recommendations, even for similar people in similar situations.

I understand, however I'm pretty sure he was referring to the ridiculous dosages that Asprey recommends.
I am using MCT on my salad sometimes so that's not good then?It happens that I use the MCT 3 times a day..
Oooh…no. Haha. I'm surprised you're not running to “go relieve” yourself. Seriously though, CO would be better if you want a salad dressing or even some EVOO
Lol yes, I read that some people have problems with more than 10g of MCT oilIn my case, no problem but that doesn't mean it's good for me :-It's a bit like the dextrose post training, i can have 100g in one setting without any problem but for other people it's not suitable.I include MCT oil after reading this article : http://athlete.io/5266/why-vegetable-and-nut-oils-suck/I thought it was better to avoid vegetable oils?
