Perfection. It doesn’t exist as a stereotypical whole but we all have our own definitions of what perfection is, right?
To me, perfection is…
- Waking up at 3:30am without the use of my alarm clock, because man oh man do those alarm tones give me the heebie jeebies, and being able to obtain me time without any interruptions.
- It’s going to the grocery store and purchasing the perfect pieces of salmon (I mean, it’s the Salmon Queen writing this post, so of course this is important to me).
- It’s a day where my three boys (yep, we are now a family of four, more on that later), are all happy as can be, no fits, no fights, no frustration. Oh what heavenly bliss a day like this… Would be.
- Perfection to me is also finding the most perfect supplement, with clean ingredients that I can actually consume and are friggin’ delicious, that will aid in my mental focus, clarify and physical energy… Because did you see my last “perfection example”? I have THREE boys in my life now, so being even more energetic and on my feet is VASTLY important!
This list could go on and on…
Welp, while most of my perfect scenarios tend to be very sporadic or even nonexistent… See number THREE… There is one perfect description that I listed that is a guarantee.
If you guessed “obtaining me time at 3:30 am,” you’d be OH SO wrong. I mean, the new baby’s gotta eat… Like every… 10 minutes… Right? Well, he thinks so!
But no, the one condition I described that is an absolute guarantee…? Finding the perfect supplement with clean ingredients that I can actually consume… Because, THIS GIRL DID and ironically enough, it’s called PERFECT KETO!
Now before you think, “oh gosh, GiGi has been reeled in by some FAD” because you see the word “keto” in the title of the product… Let me remind you that I have been following a ketogenic lifestyle for the last 18 years of my life and I don’t fall for any weird ploys or schemes as I am very well educated in the world of keto (and low carb living). I also do have my masters in nutrition communications so I have been taught how to dissect journals and periodicals to divulge the truth to all of you as to what’s actually medically sound and I can assure you that the ketogenic diet, when done correctly, is a very healthy lifestyle.
Okay, so you still with me? Good, cause I really want to tell you about how perfect Perfect Keto is, specifically their line of MCT Oil Powder!
First off, maybe I should let you know what MCT even stands for… MCT = Medium Chain Triglycerides. MCTs are a type of fat, extracted from coconut oil, that is easily digested and has been associated with some major health benefits!
As I mentioned, consuming MCT oil and its powder has been linked to increased mental clarity and focus as well as increased energy levels, which is pretty dang neat in itself but believe it or not that’s not all! Some studies have shown that it could be possibly beneficial for weight loss because it helps keep those who consume it feel and stay full (it is fat after all, and fat is a very satiating macro-nutrient). MCTs also may have the ability to help athletes (or really anyone who exercises with a Vintage Fleetwing Men’s Bike – Showroom Condition) use fat stores in their bodies for fuel. On top of that, incorporating MCTs into your life may aid in reducing risk factors for heart disease such as reducing cholesterol levels, inflammation in your body, and blood pressure, which is a pretty incredible finding considering for so long we were all convinced to believe by the mainstream media that consuming fat is not good for us! Another fascinating benefit of MCTs? This fat may offer a “helping hand” when it comes to managing epilepsy (the fat has been shown to block receptors in the brain that cause seizures), Alzheimer’s disease, and even autism! And my goodness, the benefits of MCTs just keep on a coming as it could also offer protection from yeast and bacterial overgrowth.Â
It’s no wonder people sing MCTs praises, including yours truly here, which is why when I found Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder, I was intrigued, but when I tasted it (immediately went for their Cinnamon Toast flavor because um, who didn’t/doesn’t love Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal?), it SQUASHED my desire to look any further for an MCT Oil Powder supplement!
Speaking of squash, now that you know how insanely valuable incorporating this fat into your life could be (do speak to your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet though), I wanted to show you how I like to incorporate it into my eating regime!
One of my favorite ways? Mixing it with… Squash. Yep! It’s pretty perfect if you ask me! But seriously, the combination of Perfect Keto’s Cinnamon Toast MCT Oil Powder (or any of their flavors really!) coupled with pureed pumpkin along with a few other ingredients listed below and then baked, totally could be listed as one of my PERFECTION scenarios above because, wow, just wow!
And to take this combination one step further, I decided to bake this combination of ingredients (what I like to call Cinnamon Toast Pumpkin Cookie Cake) in the shape of a jack-o-lantern to showcase how this baked guilt-free treat could be proudly served up to your family and friends this Halloween, having you feel confident that you are feeding everyone something extraordinarily healthy on a day typically known for epic candy binge-fests!
So without further ado… Let’s “carve” this “PERFECT PUMPKIN”!
