Coconut oil's MCTs may promote satiety and increase energy expenditure, potentially aiding in weight management. More research is needed to confirm these effects.
The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in coconut oil may potentially aid in weight management by promoting satiety (feeling full) and increasing energy expenditure (calories burned). MCTs are metabolized differently than long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), potentially leading to increased thermogenesis. Satiety may reduce overall calorie intake, contributing to weight loss or maintenance. However, the effects are not definitively proven and require further robust research.
