math teacher Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I bought an immersion blender because I thought it might combine the oils and coffee, but I still have to use a spoon this morning to stir before every sip. Is this normal, or should I keep trying with the blender? I am using 1 Tablespoon each of butter and MCT oil. Is there something else I need to add? Do you find it really curbs your hunger? Thanks!!

ktgrok Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Honestly, there is no benefit to using butter over heavy cream. Both are dairy fat. And cream is a hell of a lot easier. Can't speak to the MCT oil, but I find the butter thing kind of silly - butter is made from cream. Just use the cream. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think most people leave it & sip the oil off the top. And Katie’s right, it’s as if those keto people never learned how to make butter. It is just cream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math teacher Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 That makes a lot of sense to just use the cream. Then there would only be half of much oil floating on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Yep, I’d stick with cream unless you really love the taste of the butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 truly, bullet proof coffee is an internet fad that took off. There is also controversy as to if MCT oil is actually particularly good for you - it can actually upset people's stomach, etc. And it is a LOT of calories to drink, rather than eat. If it keeps you full and helps you curb your calories, fine..but there is really no magical benefit to it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Well explosive diarrhea from MCT oil does make it seem like you lost weight. At least temporarily. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Echoing the others. Keto since 2016 here, but no MCT oil here. Nope nope-ity nope! If it works for you, OP, and you enjoy it … great! For me, heavy whipping cream in my coffee is perfect. I generally only limit my calories when actively trying to lose weight, though, and wow, I greatly prefer to chew those calories. It’s my thing. 🤣 Are you trying to stay full for longer in the am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
