drink away. I love the stuff. i was going to tr drinking a table spoon every morning, apart from its good fat benifits it is also good for digestion, joints,bowels ....... there are some very old people in Greece that are very healthy and drink a small glass every morning!

if you can, drink the extra virgin, cold press stuff.

Whey and olive oil is good on a cut. 20ml + 30g whey is 300kcals

You can also use coconut milk if you need instant energy from the MCT's, all though it wont help you cut as MCT's don't aid long fatty acid liberation.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best and yes it is good to go..........
Seeds, nuts, fish, olives, avacado, are all awesome........

i too have recently increased my fats (2 tablespoons per meal). I agree, olive oil is strong so get yourself to Morrisons and get some Hemp oil and/or walnut oil. Walnut oil is really nice, specially in rice or pasta

bkotey · 03-05-2008, 09:43 AM

Ive been adding it to my stawberry's/whey/oats shake. Lokks a bit funny but u get used to it.

Mbb newlad · 03-05-2008, 11:06 AM

Have you been reading T-Nation again...?

MCTs will increase fat oxidisation.
MCTs will also act as a 'fast fat' by being sent to the liver for conversion to ketones to bring you back into ketosis.

To this end I'm going to try and drop PreWO Carbs, in favour of strict meal timing weighting MCTs for meals when the Body is in a fasted state, and PreWO.

olive oil is a wonderful addition to a healthy diet. Olive oil from Greece is thinner and sweeter than Italian olive oil. Buy extra virgin olive oil if you can.

After a month of having regular olive oil your skin conditions should have improved so much that your friends will remark on it.....

I add it to my protien shakes, makes the milk taste like icecream.

also its realy nice with some home made bread, you have it before your main meal as a apetizer. dip the bread in the oil.

Captain Hero · 11-05-2008, 04:11 PM

I have just started adding this to my meals too, did try downing 3 tablespoons of the stuff one time, and there is a pretty bitter after taste

Might take some getting used to :P
