The most important information summarized briefly:
- Half a teaspoon of MCT oil is approximately 1 g/ml.
- One teaspoon of MCT oil is approximately 3 g/ml.
- One tablespoon of MCT oil is approximately 6 g/ml.
- MCT margarine is ideal for spreading on bread as well as for sautéing and baking.
- MCT oil can be used for salad preparation and for gentle frying at low temperatures (approximately 150°C).
- Do not keep MCT fats warm for too long, heat them too hot, or reheat them (in the microwave) as this could result in a bitter taste.

The term "metabolism" encompasses all processes necessary for building the body, maintaining bodily functions, and obtaining energy. To fulfill these tasks, the food ingested or reserves stored in the body are processed in many carefully coordinated steps. These steps are facilitated by enzymes and transporters.

There are so many things we would like to share about the ketogenic diet. Monica has been on this diet since 2015, and much has changed - both in terms of meal preparation with new products on the market and in managing everyday life or special occasions. Monica has always been a cheerful and positive person.

I am Francesca, Angelica's mother. Angelica is 12 years old, and she suffers from a chronic illness. In 2021, after unsuccessful therapies, we introduced the ketogenic diet. It was not an easy path, but in the end, this ketogenic diet improved her health and allowed her to return to dancing.

The ketogenic diet in children represents a special dietary approach, which comes with several challenges in everyday life. Since there are only a few schools willing to accommodate these specific needs, one should start looking for a suitable option early on. Schools capable of supporting the ketogenic diet often have extremely small class sizes and a higher staff-to-student ratio. Consequently, our choice quickly fell on a school with a focus on physical and motor skills development, where all types of school diplomas are possible.
