DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0012] The present invention is a ketogenic dietary consumable for providing fats to a consumer on the ketogenic diet. The present invention utilizes both medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) in order to provide necessary calories and avoid stomach discomfort and gastrointestinal distress associated with less triglyceride-diverse dietary supplements. The present invention comprises a quantity of fractionated coconut oil, a quantity of avocado oil, and a quantity of macadamia nut oil, as seen in FIG. 1. The quantity of fractionated coconut oil provides the present invention with valuable MCTs, which are easily digestible. The quantity of avocado oil and the quantity of macadamia nut oil supply the present invention with a strong source of LCTs, thus preventing the rapid digestion of the MCTs from the quantity of fractionated coconut oil that results in stomach discomfort. The quantity of fractionated coconut oil, the quantity of avocado oil, and the quantity of macadamia nut oil includes, but is not limited to, oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, linolenic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid, which are each useful and digestible by the user. The quantity of fractionated coconut oil, the quantity of avocado oil, and the quantity of macadamia nut oil are mixed into a dietary mixture. This arrangement allows for the presence of MCTs and LCTs in the dietary mixture. In an exemplary embodiment, the quantity of fractionated avocado oil is blended with the quantity of avocado oil for one hour and left alone for 24 hours. Then, the quantity of macadamia nut oil is blended with the combined quantity of fractionated avocado oil and quantity of avocado oil for one hour. The dietary mixture is the end result of leaving this mixture alone again for 24 hours.

[0013] In order to provide an accurate combination of fats to promote and sustain ketosis, the present invention requires the substantial presence of MCTs. To this end, the quantity of fractionated coconut oil ranges between 54 percent volume (vol %) and 71 vol % of the dietary mixture, as seen in FIG. 2. The quantity of fractionated coconut oil contains caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid, as seen in FIG. 3. Within the specified ranges, the quantity of fractionated coconut oil provides an adequate amount of these MCTs without overwhelming the user's digestive system.

[0014] To balance the MCTs provided by the quantity of fractionated coconut oil and provide an accurate combination of fats to promote and sustain ketosis, the present invention requires the presence of LCTs. Therefore, the quantity of avocado oil ranges between 16 vol % and 25 vol % of the dietary mixture. Furthermore, the quantity of macadamia nut oil ranges between 12 vol % and 19 vol % of the dietary mixture, as seen in FIG. 2. The quantity of avocado oil and the quantity of macadamia nut oil provide ample oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, linolenic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid, as seen in FIG. 4. These acids combine to slow digestion of the MCTs found in the quantity of fractionated coconut oil. The oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, linolenic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid further combine to aid in conversion of the caprylic acid, the capric acid, and the lauric acid into energy.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the amount of MCTs from the quantity of fractionated coconut oil may outweigh the amount of LCTs from the quantity of avocado oil and the quantity of macadamia nut oil. In such a circumstance, it may be advantageous to supplement the dietary mixture with supplemental LCTs. To this end, the present invention further comprises a quantity of coffee bean oil, as seen in FIG. 1. The quantity of coffee beam oil is a fatty substance that provides digestion-slowing LCTs. The quantity of coffee bean oil is mixed into the dietary mixture. This arrangement ensures that the LCTs within the coffee bean oil are available to mix and interact with the MCTs from the quantity of fractionated coconut oil. Furthermore, the quantity of coffee bean oil ranges between 5 vol % and 10 vol % of the dietary mixture. In this way, the dietary mixture retains an appropriate concentration of MCTs relative to the amount of LCTs.

[0016] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the amount of MCTs from the quantity of fractionated coconut oil may outweigh the amount of LCTs from the quantity of avocado oil and the quantity of macadamia nut oil. In such a circumstance, it may be advantageous to supplement the dietary mixture with supplemental LCTs. To this end, the present invention comprises a quantity of pumpkin seed oil, as seen in FIG. 1. The quantity of pumpkin seed oil is another fatty substance that provides digestion-slowing LCTs. The quantity of pumpkin seed oil is mixed into the dietary mixture. This arrangement ensures that the LCTs within the pumpkin seed oil are available to mix and interact with the MCTs from the quantity of fractionated coconut oil. Furthermore, the quantity of pumpkin seed oil ranges between 5 vol % and 10 vol % of the dietary mixture. In this way, the dietary mixture retains an appropriate concentration of MCTs relative to the amount of LCTs.

[0017] The different textures and flavors of the coffee bean oil and the pumpkin seed oil may make one more desirable than the other; however, in order to dilute the amount of MCTs within the final dietary mixture while including both flavors and textures, some other embodiments of the present invention use a combination of both the coffee bean oil and the pumpkin seed oil. To this end, the present invention further comprises a quantity of coffee bean oil and a quantity of pumpkin seed oil. The quantity of coffee bean oil and the quantity of pumpkin seed oil both provide LCTs, including, but not limited to, oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, linolenic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid, as seen in FIG. 5, which aid in preventing uncomfortably quick digestion of MCTs. The quantity of coffee bean oil and the quantity of pumpkin seed oil are both mixed into the dietary mixture. This allows the quantity of coffee bean oil and the quantity of pumpkin seed oil to affect the quantity of fractionated coconut oil, the quantity of avocado oil, and the quantity of macadamia nut oil. In the preferred embodiment, a combination of the quantity of coffee bean oil and the quantity of pumpkin seed oil ranging between 5 vol % and 10 vol % of the dietary mixture is utilized. This relatively low percentage ensures that the ratio of MCTs to LCTs remains within an optimal range.

[0018] The method for manufacturing the ketogenic formulation comprises an ingredient assembly step, a first combination step, a first blending step, a second combination step, a second blending step, and a third blending step. In the ingredient assembly step, the user collects the ingredients necessary for creating the ketogenic formulation. In an exemplary embodiment, these ingredients comprise a quantity of fractionated coconut oil, a quantity of avocado oil, and a quantity of macadamia nut oil. In alternative embodiments, the ingredients to be assembled further comprise a quantity of coffee bean oil and/or a quantity of pumpkin seed oil. The user gathers 65 vol % fractionated coconut oil, 20 vol % avocado oil, and 15 vol % macadamia nut oil. In the alternative embodiment that includes coffee bean oil and/or pumpkin seed oil, the user includes approximately 5 vol % relative to the combined product of the quantity of fractionated coconut oil, the quantity of avocado oil, and the quantity of macadamia nut oil. The user then performs the first combination step. The user combines the quantity of fractionated coconut oil with the quantity of avocado oil. Next, the user begins the first blending step. The user blends the quantity of fractionated coconut oil with the quantity of avocado oil for approximately one hour. The user then allows the mixture to sit for approximately 24 hours. The user then begins the second combination step. In the preferred embodiment, the user adds the quantity of macadamia nut oil to the quantity of fractionated coconut oil and quantity of avocado oil mixture. In an alternative embodiment, the user adds the quantity of macadamia nut oil with either the quantity of coffee bean oil, the quantity of pumpkin seed oil, or both, to the quantity of fractionated coconut oil and quantity of avocado oil mixture. The user then begins the second blending step. The user blends the mixture for approximately one hour. The user then leaves the mixture to rest for approximately 24 hours. The final step is the third blending step. The user blends the mixture for approximately one hour before the mixture is prepared for subsequent packaging and marketing.

[0019] In the preferred usage of the present invention, the user acquires the present invention. The user prepares to brace the user's body by disposing of all high carb foods, and replacing them with high fat low carb foods, such as fish, meat, and certain vegetables. The user then ingests the present invention. The user may add the present invention to cooking recipes, to drinks such as smoothies, or even raw as oil for salads or in other foods. Approximately one tablespoon is generally considered a serving for this and most MCT-based oils. By adding the present invention to a variety of foods during the day, the user can provide the user's body with ample energy and fat to convert into energy for the day and can also control the user's insulin and blood sugar levels.

[0020] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
