You can cook with MCT Oil. Although MCT has a low cooking temperature before it starts to smoke.
Here is the biggest problem with the original Dr. Simeons protocol. It didn't call for any fats. Some fats are essential nutrients. Hence the name "Essential Oils". This means that your body doesn't have the capability to live without getting these oils from an outside source.
Before the HCG Police show up, remember this guys:These fats are needed for brain function, joint health, heart function, fat loss, and much more. You will absolutely DIE if you go too long without these fats.
Two fats I recomend on the diet:Fish Oil capsules - Our patients lose weight more consistently on the diet with it. Also, they tend to have less skin and hair problems.
MCT Oil - Non essential oil that supports the HCG diet perfectly. There is actually even studies done with MCT specifically for VLCD diets. MCT converts to Ketone, and excess ketone can actually be secreted from the body without being burned as calories. In a way, it's calories that don't count.
We have come a long way in the 50 years since Dr. Simeons first wrote the protocol.
