MCT Oil & Weight Management: The Smart Way to Beat Cravings

You know that frustrating cycle: eat a “healthy” snack, feel satisfied for about 15 minutes, then boom — the cravings hit. Afternoon slump, evening fridge raid, late-night “just one bite” that turns into the whole bar.

It’s not you. It’s your blood sugar, your hormones, and the way mainstream “healthy” snacks are designed to keep you coming back for more.

Enter MCT oil — and specifically C8 and C10 MCTs. This combo is a game-changer for cravings, appetite control, and weight management. And no, we’re not talking about the low-quality coconut oils or mystery “MCT blends” you’ll find on generic shelves. We’re talking pure, functional fuel for your brain and body.

Funky Fat Foods just launched our new Funky MCT Oil C8 & C10, and here’s the deep dive into why it matters — and how it can help you finally beat cravings without restriction or guilt.

First Things First: What Are MCTs?

MCTs = Medium-Chain Triglycerides. They’re a type of fat found mostly in coconut oil. Unlike long-chain fats, MCTs digest fast and get converted into ketones — a clean, steady energy source.

• Quick absorption → MCTs skip the long digestive process and go straight to your liver.
• Fast fuel → Once there, they’re converted into ketones your brain and body love.
• No storage detour → They’re rarely stored as fat, but used as energy right away.

Why C8 and C10 Are the Real MVPs

Not all MCTs are created equal. Here’s the breakdown:

• C6: Rare, smelly, often causes stomach upset.
• C12: Technically an MCT, but digests slowly and behaves more like a long-chain fat.

That leaves us with the stars:

• C8 (Caprylic Acid): The fastest to convert into ketones. Clean brain fuel.
• C10 (Capric Acid): A touch slower, but steadier and gentler on digestion.

Together? Rapid energy from C8 + sustained fuel from C10 = the perfect daily balance. That’s why Funky's MCT Oil blend is 100% C8 + C10, with no filler oils.

MCT Oil & Weight Management: The Science

1. Supports Appetite Control

Studies show MCTs boost satiety, so you feel fuller for longer. Ketones help regulate hunger hormones, shutting down that “I need something sweet right now” voice.

2. Balances Cravings

MCTs provide energy without spiking insulin. That means fewer blood sugar crashes and less of that ravenous, shaky hunger.

3. Supports Weight Management (Indirectly)

MCT oil isn’t a magic fat burner. But by reducing cravings, controlling appetite, and stabilising energy, it creates the conditions for healthier eating patterns.

4. Boosts Fat Burning in Low-Carb Lifestyles

For keto or low-carb eaters, MCTs help the body stay in ketosis more efficiently. More ketones = more fat used for energy.

How to Use MCT Oil for Weight Management

• Morning fuel: Blend into coffee, matcha, or tea for steady energy.
• Smoothies: Add to protein shakes for more satiety.
• Cooking: Stir into soups, drizzle over veggies, or bake into treats.
• Pre-workout: Use as quick, clean energy before exercise.
• Snack upgrade: Pair with Funky Fat Chocolates or chocolate-covered superfoods.

Common Questions About MCT Oil C8 & C10

Will MCT oil make me gain weight? No. It’s used quickly as energy, not stored as fat when consumed moderately.

Do I need to be keto to use MCT oil? Nope. MCTs benefit everyone, keto or not.

How fast will I feel results? Most people notice reduced cravings and cleaner energy within a few days.

Why Funky Fat’s MCT Oil Is Different

• 100% C8 + C10 blend (no fillers, no junk)

• Neutral taste → blends into anything
• Clean energy, clean ingredients → no sugar spikes, no bloat

How Much MCT Oil Should You Take?

Start small — 1 tsp per day — then build up to 1–3 tbsp daily. Too much too soon can upset digestion, so go slow.

The Funky Truth on MCTs & Cravings

Weight management doesn’t have to mean restriction, hunger, or saying goodbye to chocolate. MCT oil C8 + C10 helps balance hormones, stabilize energy, and keep cravings in check.
