The keto diet involves switching your energy source from carbohydrates to fat instead of starches or carbs for fuel, so that you can achieve weight loss without feeling hungry or restricted. Unfortunately, most people aren’t used to incorporating so much fat into their daily meals; therefore, finding ways to incorporate it may be challenging. Coffee is one food that fits perfectly within this restrictive plan while still helping your body burn fat!

Coffee has been shown to increase production of ketone bodies that support the ketogenic diet’s primary goal. Because it doesn’t contain any carbs, coffee will not kick you out of ketosis or derail your progress. When drinking it, caffeine’s benefits will also help support metabolism and ketone body production.

Bulletproof coffee has become a beloved drink on the keto diet. This moniker stems from David Asprey’s original formula which he trademarked in 2008. When blended at high speeds, its ingredients create a thick froth on top while simultaneously dissolving fats and oils into water more completely. Asprey’s recipe requires his own brand ground coffee, grass-fed butter or ghee, MCT oil (often labeled “Brain Octane”) as well as his proprietary MCT oil product which often bear his brand name when blended at high speeds; all three items need to be trademarked!

Grass-fed butter is an ideal choice for keto coffee as it contains more healthy fats than conventional dairy butter, which has been linked with heart disease, cancer and other health conditions. Furthermore, grass-fed butter is abundant with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) a fat which aids fat burning so adding one tablespoon to your coffee can keep you on track with your keto diet goals.

Avoid sugar and regular creamers in your coffee, as these contain carbs which could compromise your ketogenic diet goals. Instead, switch to non-dairy creamers that are free from processed carbs such as unsweetened coconut milk or nut-based creamers which contain lower levels of carbohydrates; alternatively use natural sweeteners like raw stevia or monk fruit extract in order to stay on course with keto.
