Nutrients Free Full-Text Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Health The Potential Beneficial Effects of a Medium Chain Triglyceride Diet in Obese Individuals
Obesity and associated metabolic complications, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are in constant increase around the world. While most obese patients show several metabolic and biometric abnormalities and comorbidities, a subgroup of patients representing 3% to 57% of obese adults, depending on the diagnosis criteria, remains metabolically healthy. Among many other factors, the gut microbiota is now identified as a determining factor in the pathogenesis of metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) individuals and in obesity-related diseases such as endotoxemia, intestinal and systemic inflammation, as well as insulin resistance. Interestingly, recent studies suggest that an optimal healthy-like gut microbiota structure may contribute to the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype. Here, we describe how dietary medium chain triglycerides (MCT), previously found to promote lipid catabolism, energy expenditure and weight loss, can ameliorate metabolic health via their capacity to improve both intestinal ecosystem and permeability. MCT-enriched diets could therefore be used to manage metabolic diseases through modification of gut microbiota.

15 Ways to lose weight FAST without going to gym, burn belly fat
To lose weight, you MUST burn more calories than you eat. So how do you do this realistically with your busy crazy schedule? Here are15 ways to lose weight fast without going to the gym.
15
Drink LOTS OF WATER or Tea (not coffee- coffee burns out the adrenals and thyroid which leads to weight gain)
14
FIBER ****** Eating lots of fiber is one of the best ways to get thin and stay thin. It helps remove bad things from your body and helps keep you feeling full so you don’t eat much.
Only fresh plant foods have fiber- animal products have zero fiber, they just constipate, so eat lots of fresh plant foods, salads, fiber and water.
13
KEEP MOVING- do NOT sit for long periods of time- Keep that body moving! Every 30 minutes do a 1 minute stand-lie-stand or squats (at work)
12
EXERCISE- the best time to exercise is on an empty stomach so your body is forced to use fat for fuel instead of food. Muscles can use fat for fuel… and working out muscles creates lactic acid… which melts fat
11
LOSE THE STRESS! Cortisol releases glycogen which raises blood sugar, which releases insulin which stimulates formation of fat. Stress also burns out the adrenals and thyroid which are needed to help keep you thin.
10
DON’T EAT UNTIL AFTERNOON - try for 4 pm, but at least not until noon and do your cardio before you eat so your body can only use fat for fuel, not food.
9
SLEEP EARLIER AND LONGER! This is actually one of the most important ways to lose fat. Sleeping burns more calories and fat than working out, but it needs to be SOUND sleep. Lack of sleep slows down your metabolism, your hormones and makes you more hungry and fat. People who sleep 10 hrs lose double the fat of those who sleep only 6 hrs
8
Reduce or totally cut REFINED OILS, and REFINED or CONCENTRATED SUGAR
This includes fruit juice, honey and dried fruit which is highly concentrated sugar.
7
CUT ALL ALCOHOL Alcohol turns into sugar which turns into fat. It also fries the liver which is needed to process fats in the body.
6
EAT ONLY UNTIL YOU ARE 80% FULL This is one of the secrets of the longest living people on earth. If you eat until you are full, you have eaten too much!
5
ANYTHING that makes you BREATHE HEAVIER huffing and puffing
4
PROBIOTICS, CULTURED AND FERMENTED FOODS help keep you thin. The main food source for probiotics is fiber, so again- eat lots of fiber and fresh plant foods!
3
CLEAN YOUR LIVER- it doesn’t just process and get rid of fat, it processes estrogens. Too much estrogen makes you fat. A sluggish fatty liver results in a sluggish fatty body, so clean your liver with bitter food, not sweet food and get the liver formula at MarkusLiverFormula.com
2
Try to have SOUP and SALAD before a meal. It fills you up and makes you want less of the heavy fattening food. Plus, if your main course is cooked food, the salad is much better and more nutritious anyway. Of course do not get cream soup or creamy salad dressing and no cheese on the salad! (man goes Ooh! (darn!)
Controlling yourself is key. The party lasts one night, belly fat lasts for weeks or months
NUMBER ONE
-WHAT YOU EAT
-HOW MUCH YOU EAT
-WHEN YOU EAT
is more important than anything!
Do not eat or snack all day long if you want to lose weight.
Once you have the weight you want, then you can snack all day if you use the right foods.
*BONUS*
STAND MORE, SIT LESS. Standing burns more calories than sitting. Get a standing desk.
SUNLIGHT triggers hormones and creates vitamins in your body that help you lose weight. Get at least 20 minutes a day

DESCRIPTION: Sellers of coconut oil use a beef industry tactic to downplay the risks associated with the saturated fat in their products. Here are the two saffron videos I referenced: Saffron for the Treatment of Alzheimer's (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-for-the-treatment-of-alzheimers/) and Saffron Versus Aricept (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-versus-aricept/). The spice may also help with PMS (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-for-the-treatment-of-pms/) and depression (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-vs-prozac/).
Think my water in Coke joke was too over the top? When a corporate exec was asked on the stand (http://www.mcspotlight.org/case/trial/quotes.html) if Coca Cola was "nutritious" he said that it is "providing water, and I think that is part of a balanced diet."
More on meat industry hijinks in videos like Meat Mythcrushers (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-mythcrushers/), Cattlemen's Association Has Beef With Study (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cattlemens-association-has-beef-with-epic-study/), Unsafe at Any Feed (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/unsafe-at-any-feed/), and my blog post E. coli O145 Ban Opposed by Meat Industry (http://nutritionfacts.org/2012/06/09/e-coli-o145-ban-opposed-by-meat-industry/).
The "compared to butter" bit reminds me of the "compared to pork" nuttiness: Nuts and Bolts of Cholesterol Lowering (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-and-bolts-of-cholesterol-lowering/).
What was that thing I said about saturated animal fat and endotoxins? See my three part series: The Leaky Gut Theory of Why Animal Products Cause Inflammation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-leaky-gut-theory-of-why-animal-products-cause-inflammation/), The Exogenous Endotoxin Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-exogenous-endotoxin-theory/), and Dead Meat Bacteria Endotoxemia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dead-meat-bacteria-endotoxemia/).
