Butter for Keto

SlimSage

Looking for brands of butter to buy as well as the heavy cream for coffee and possibly milk? Brand new at this and would like to give it a try.

I see people mention Kerry Gold but it isn't sold where I live. I just use whatever salted butter is on sale. Same with heavy cream (50+% fat) of whipping cream (30-36% fat).

I think the more important thing is a quality coffee. If you have a good coffee, brands of dairy don't matter as much.

Consider coconut oil in your coffee too. It has a nice flavour and the MCTs are more readily converted to ketones.

Consider joining the Low Carber Daily group. It's where most low carbers and ketofiles hang out.

I do Keto and use kerrygold butter. I use it because it is produced from non-hormone and grass-fed cows. The grass doesn't have pesticides either, from my understanding. So grass fed, non-hormone, and pesticide free. It is my personal preference and is not based on Keto.

With the above being said I very rarely eat it as butter and usually only consume it as homemade ghee, which I use A LOT. However, I use it in butter form in dishes I prepare for my family.

As far as hwc, my area doesn't have many options at our 3 grocery store chains. When I used it, I used Wal-Mart brand, which was the highest fatted one I could find locally.

Be aware: When eating dairy, it may slow weight loss if you have an intolerance or sensitivity. It happened to me and I had to drop it.

I second low carb group above. It is very supportive.
