We believe that following a real food diet free from refined sugars, grains and inflammatory oils is key for a healthier lifestyle. Combining this with movement, play, rest and good quality sleep is also important for optimal health and wellness.

In terms of MCT Oil - there is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of MCT Oil for supporting weight loss, especially as part of the Keto diet. MCT Oil is made up of medium chain fatty acids - which are rapidly utilised by the liver for energy. By consuming MCTs, you are promoting fat oxidation, meaning that you metabolise your dietary fat quicker – using it for energy as opposed to storing it. Ongoing research is also looking into the effect MCTs have on your appetite-controlling hormones, suggesting they help you to feel fuller for longer and so aid in weight loss.
There is a considerable amount of evidence to suggest that the MCT powder could support fat loss, however it always depends on how you’re using it and what the rest of your diet and lifestyle looks like.
In general, replacing long chain triglycerides (the dietary fats found in most fatty foods) with MCTs has been shown to increase satiety and promote weight loss. The reason for this is because the energy in MCTs is typically used straight away in the body and is less likely to be stored as fat. One study showed that MCT intake increased fat oxidation in the body, reducing the level of fat storage and encouraging weight loss over 4 weeks. Another clinical trial compared the weight loss in two groups – one using MCT oil and the other using olive oil – and found that the MCT group saw greater reductions in body weight.
Alongside this, acacia fibre used in the product has been shown to potentially improve insulin responses and improve feelings of satiety - both of which help to reduce risk of weight gain and obesity. The use of acacia gum has been shown in one study of 120 women to reduce BMI and body fat percentage in comparison to the use of pectin. However, it is important to note that these findings are largely based on research in which the acacia fibre is taken with meals in fairly high dosages (30g and 40g) which then slows gastric emptying and promotes satiety. If you are taking the MCT powder at the recommended dose and/or on an empty stomach then we cannot confirm that it will have the same effect.
Organic Grass Fed Beef Tallow is unqiue in that it contains both CLA and Stearic Acid which have been shown to be associated with fat loss.
CLA: In a review and meta-analysis (2020) over 6–16 weeks, the natural trans fat (not to be confused with industrial trans fat) significantly reduced body weight, BMI, and total body fat of the women subjects. When combining CLA with exercise, research has shown a reduction in body fat and an increase in insulin sensitivity in the absence of body weight reduction. This suggests an increase in muscle mass and improvement in metabolism.
STEARIC ACID: One of the most interesting things about stearic acid is its ability to increase mitochondrial fusion. This is when mitochondria merge increasing efficiency and energy production which in turn improves the resilience of a cell.
Stearic acid also increases the insulin sensitivity of fat cells and shrinks them.
The more insulin-sensitive cells are, the more regulated blood sugar remains reducing the inflammatory and oxidising effects of chronically elevated blood sugar. Saturated fats also help increase the secretion of glucagon, an appetite suppressor, known as the ‘fat-burning hormone’ because it increases energy expenditure and thermogenesis (body heat).
