    Its an acquired taste. My mom offered it to me a few months back and I thought it was awful. Now Im drinking it every day as part of a ketogenic diet. I don't think it would be a good idea to add this to a diet that wasn't low carb/high fat. It really does grow on you.

    So, up thread you state you don't like coffee but here you're saying it is yummy and filling. Do you either not read what you write or not believe what you like?

    I sipped my friend's bullet proof coffee once. Not bad. I also added oil to my coffee once when I couldn't go to the bathroom. Did the trick.

    Okay. So, no coffee and not a BPC. Got it. I can sub the oil with air and sugar for cacao? I mean eventually you realize people aren't drinking 350-500 calories for breakfast this way. Anybody find those benefits of grass fed butter yet?

    I liked it when I was on keto. With MCT oil. You really don't store the fat from MCT the same way as you do other fats. It cleans you out really well, and does help with energy. body builders use it for quick energy.

    I'm pretty sure that's a myth. An excess of calories in any form will result in weight gain.

    Well in all fairness, the calories we don't eat won't do any harm.



    I've still never tried the "true" versions of BPC, even though I know it would have zero extra magic involved other than taste. But I do have very lean eating days where I'm low on fats and have plenty of calories left to eat. I'm not sure I'd like the oil, but some cocoa or the right coffee with plenty of thick cream would make it easy to balance out those lean days.

    I usually prefer to eat my calories, but on days that I don't want to eat that much liquid calories are a good thing.

    You can believe what you want. I'm not saying you can down a whole bottle. I've never consumed more than 2 tbsp a day. Super quick energy. And it cleans you out.

    Calories are calories. Unless you somehow find something that doesn't get absorbed by the body properly, too much of any type of calories can make you gain weight. Energy balance has a lot of little factors, but there is no magic pill in any form.

    The link you supplied is selling it. They don't want to admit that it's just another type of food, as you can buy regular food just about anywhere.

    If you are in a surplus you will store fat that's not a belief, it's hard science

    You only got half the story. This is a low carb/Keto thing. When you are eating very low carb, your body is in Ketosis and burns fat instead of carbs. So this drink for a low carber does fill them up and would be a part of the normal fat burning process one in ketosis goes through.

    just like any other calorie deficit driven way of eating….

    and eating high fat is not necessary for anything.

    Ketosis does not negate thermodynamics. If you're in a caloric surplus, there is net fat storage.

    Robert, Where was bodybuilding selling MCT?
    NDJ, Yes, but I didn't say a person could lose weight in a surplus, just that MCT is less likely to be stored as fat.

    "MCT has a smaller molecular structure and is more soluble in water. Therefore, it is easier for your body to absorb and does not require this complicated digestive process. Whereas conventional fats are prone to being stored as body fat, MCT is transported directly from the small intestine to the liver by the portal vein. In the liver, some of the MCTs are turned into ketone bodies, which the muscles can use for energy. Some MCT's are used for thermogenesis, and a portion is converted to ATP, the energy currency of the cell. MCT, therefore is processed in the liver, so there is little left to be stored as fat."
