MCT oil is quite expensive in India, and if you get stomach issues, the doctor visits and tests will cost you even more. If you really want to try, start with just half a teaspoon which costs almost nothing per day, and see if your body agrees.

I put a teaspoon of MCT oil in my morning black coffee! It actually keeps those sudden chole bhature cravings away till lunchtime, but don't take too much or your stomach will be running to the loo.

Don't rush into these trendy oil diets, okay? If you want to try MCT oil, begin with a very tiny amount—like half a teaspoon—and never take it on an empty stomach first thing. Take care of your gut first.

When I consulted my physician at Apollo, he strictly advised against self-prescribing MCT oil for weight loss, especially since it can affect cholesterol levels. Please get your lipid profile done and ask your doctor clearly before starting.

At 52, my stomach cannot handle these modern keto experiments anymore. I tried one tablespoon of MCT oil once because my nephew suggested it, and let's just say I spent the whole Sunday in the bathroom. Stick to light home food, honestly.
