MCT Oil for winter - Scythe13 - 3 September 2013
Hello everyone
Time for winter prepping.
This is a lovely little trick I've only just thought about posting. I'm reordering what I have ran out of, which reminded me and prompted my posting this.
MCT Oil.
MCT Oil is a brilliant product that allows you to create more body heat than you expected. It's basically a thermogenic (fat burner through heat) but the main reason I love it so much is because it allows me to get out in the snow while wearing fewer layers!!! Your body becomes better at regulating heat and you stay warm for longer in colder temperatures! What's not to love? Oh, the price, well...yeah, maybe. It's not the cheapest, but I love it and swear by it.
If you're getting ready for winter and will be out and about at a moment's notice, this is always a nice thing to add into the mix.
Enjoy.

Thanks for this. Interesting
Can you give a link to more info, and maybe a reputable e-supplier?

As for the staying warm thing, it was recommended by a friend and I swear by it. It is similar in biological process to Tibetan Tea (tea with butter in it....don't knock it, it makes awesome coffee too!!! a little cinnamon and you are good to go, for 4-5 hours....actually thinking about it, it's an ideal thing to have for bugging out or for getting home, e.g. self heating black coffee with a chunk of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon!!! MMMMMM, and you stay full for ages too. Really should post this up somewhere else).
As for suppliers, I go with Now Sports. I think Astro still supplies it. That's who I used to go through. They had a shop on ebay.
