So what keto coffee do?
Keto Coffee is based on the principle that a diet high in fats helps the body hit ketosis quicker. Ketosis is the metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy. It’s the goal of many keto dieters who hope to quickly drop pounds.
The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb, moderate protein diet. It forces the body to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose, the body’s go-to energy source produced from carbs.
When carbs are limited, as is the case with the keto diet, the body begins to break down fat stores while the liver produces ketones, an organic compound that can be used as a backup fuel source. As the body burns more and more fat to meet its daily energy needs, it begins to lose weight.
Keto Coffee is packed with butter and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil.
The liver produces ketones from these fats but only in periods of restricted carbohydrate intake. So, they aren’t necessarily immediately converted to ketones.
Additionally, those MCTs help dieters feel full and satiated longer, which can prevent overeating throughout the day.
“That, coupled with the caffeine in coffee, can make a keto dieter feel pretty great,” Kristen Mancinelli, a registered dietitian and author of ‘The Ketogenic Diet,’ said.
“Some of the results are mental clarity, greater alertness, more energy, less hunger, and greater ability to focus.”
It’s important to note that these changes are more the result of the caffeine in the coffee rather than the added fat.
But don’t think that a normal cup of joe and Keto Coffee can be interchangeable.
“Too much Keto Coffee might have the opposite effects, Mancinelli explained. Dieters should stick to one cup a day and drink it in place of a meal, not as a beverage to have alongside your breakfast.”
Technically speaking, a meal replacement should contain about 300 calories and have some other nutritional value.
