I'm pretty sure that's a myth. An excess of calories in any form will result in weight gain.
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.Christine_72 wrote: »I liked it when I was on keto.

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

I drink it every morning as part of my Ketogenic diet, MCT's provide quick energy and the fats are very satisfying for me. I don't add quite the amount that you find if you search for the recipe online. My two 10 oz cups of coffee only have 1Tbs each of MCT oil and grass fed butter between them. It does need to be blended. If you just stir the fat in, the oil just floats on top.
This is what it looks like.
There's actually nothing greasy about it at all.0 -
This sounds like a vegetarian alternative to cream in the coffee, a time-honored morning ritual for millions.0

Love a bulletproof coffee in the morning, yes I´m one of the weirdos following a keto diet!0

It's been reported that bulletpoint coffee is a sure-fire quick method towards high cholesterol and heart disease. Many health-related charities have been actively discouraging it recently.

It also sounds absolutely disgusting! :-/0 -

My nutritionist friend has been putting butter in coffee for YEARS! She also can't figure out why she has gained weight...0

All bulletproof coffee is made different, mine is 122 calories a cup, has 10g butter and 5g coconut oil and certainly not 422 calories or whatever he said.
That said I would rather spend the calories on that than ice cream, chocolate and cake.
Not having any nutrition in there makes it bad is a load of rubbish, you can easily get the nutrients in your next meals. I never used to eat breakfast at all, I just don´t like eating in the morning, at least this way I am getting some decent fat.0 -

That is just your personal judgement, and not a fact. For someone on a low carb high fat diet, fats need to be increased or calories are ridiculously low.0 -

not a judgement, a fact. Fat minimums should be .45 grams per pound of body weight, anything over that is not necessary.0 -

It's a fact for a low fat diet only.
Only.
If I ate that much fat, I'd never get enough calories. Is that what you're recommending?
I limit carbs for my own reasons which are not up for debate. My health is better than it's ever been.
I don't know why you would be advising me to reduce fat. That's really terrible advice for the way I eat.0 -

i was not replying to you so not sure what you are talking about.
my point is that fat is a minimum and there is no reason to eat 50% above the recommended minimum; unless of course one has a medical condition to reduce or eliminate carbs.0 -

Guess I thought you were speaking to me when saying this.
I had already said I eat a Ketogenic diet and you still advised that it was uneccessary to eat that much fat.
Weather or not I have a medical reason to eat this way is irrelevant. I am able to choose it if I feel it's the most sustainable for me regardless of medical need.0 -

That's a minimum. The lowest amount of fat one should eat. I think the maximum is what you are probably meaning... I don't believe there is a maximum.0 -

It isn't a magical solution to anything, but it is a way to increase fat without adding carbs.
If you emulsify the coconut oil with hot coffee in a blender, it tastes like having added dairy. It's not slick, oily or gross.
This. I blend a teaspoon of coconut oil and raw sugar with my coffee - in a blender (no oil slick) and it comes out like creamy, frothy, delicious heaven. It replaces weird non-dairy coffee creamer for me and I love it.0 -

My point is that you directed that statement at me and I had already said that I eat a Ketogenic diet... So your advice would prove to be very very bad for me if I didn't understand my dietary needs for the way I eat.
That advice is not one size fits all0 -

Unless you are hitting the minimum target exactly right on the nose, you will either be over or under the minimum requirement. I think going over would be the better move.
The minimum for me is 67.5 g of fat per day. I'm over that by 30-40 g per day. If I wasn't I wouldn't meet my caloric goal.0 -

I tried it - it was disgusting, just an oil slick. I prefer my coffee the usual way, with milk.0

Bad? No. I don't think carbs are bad. I know higher levels of carbs (even moderate levels) are unhealthy for me. Too much protein is also not helpful for me to achieve good health. That leaves fat. Since fat is not bad either, I eat it and enjoy it.
YMMV0 -
What's with the argumentativeness, seriously!!
We all have different ways to easily reach our individual deficits. I personally wouldn't eat some of the "diets" people here eat, but I'm not going to pounce on them, give them the third degree or make them go through the Spanish inquisition to my satisfaction...

Pretty sure it's the claims made about what BPC will do for your health and your waistline and your performance that is at issue here.
Liking fatty coffee, or not, is neither relevant or even all that interesting. People do lots of things to coffee and food that I personally find to be disturbing and gross, and I'm sure the reverse is true. No one cares.
To quote the OP:LynnEllen64 wrote: »Has anyone ever tried this? Adding butter and coconut oil to your coffee? They say it makes you feel full and burn fat ?? I'm very skeptical.
