Suggestion: remove the phrase "XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX" (I will also remove this comment afterwards), as people just simple have no idea what that means. Just simple say, "coffee with a couple tablespoons of butter". Yes, it's longer, but upon a google search and you will run into someone selling their product. For some people, it is good for them to know that they don't have to buy anything extra other than food, and that their bodies are fully capable of losing weight on their own....product free :)

OP removed the word bullet and added the butter part, now it just says 'drink proof coffee with butter'

I AM SO GOOD AT WORDING

I know this is not the place for it, but why don't people put heavy cream in their coffee instead of butter?

IckyOutlaw

Heavy cream contains more carbs compared to butter. I still use cream instead of butter since I drink cold brewed iced coffeem but I should not go overboard with it.

hmm the heavy whipping cream I have says 0 carbs. am I missing something there? maybe its like a milk hormone thing?

IckyOutlaw

What is the serving size? The cream I use has 3.2g per 100ml.

What brand are you using? Sounds like it has added sugar as regular heavy whipping cream has as near as makes no difference 0 carbs. Check out this nutrition sheet, I used the drop down to select 1 tbsp fluid as that's how I use it in my coffee.

IckyOutlaw

It is European so you won't know it ;). And your label says 3g per 100g so it is in the same range.

Ah, right you are. So it's like half a gram per serving which is well worth it in my opinion. The biggest mistake a lot of ketoers make is too much protein and not enough fat. Maintaining 20g of carbs a day is the easy part to a lot of folks. I look at coffee and cream as a way to drive up my fat percentage while not touching proteins and I can almost always afford a gram or two of carbs.

IckyOutlaw

Well, butter would even be better at upping the fat content. It is basically the same as cream, with even less protein and carbs. But it is all nitpicking when you are using small amounts. Just be careful not to go overboard with the cream. :)

Would it be ok to put a little nip of scotch in that creamy, delicious coffee?

My sister does. She buys heavy creamer and Starbucks sugar free flavoring. I told her about bullet proof, but she is closed to the idea.
