Bulletproof coffee, am I doing it right?

Check the cartons / bottles, but generally I have found double cream to have the least carbs (hardley any) followed by single cream, then full fat milk, then semi skimmed milk, with skimmed milk containing the most carbs.

You have to watch some of the 'synthetic creams' like emlea which contain more carbs

Cornish clotted cream is even better than double cream!!

I too am on the bulletproofs as getting my fat quota up for the day.

I'm not on medication, diet only for now and I notice the difference in my FBG's if I don't have my fat drink (haven't tried a fat bomb yet).

After a few experiments with coffee I bought some raw caco powder in local healthfood shop on a deal. That stuff is sooo strong. Used 1 tsp in 200ml of hotish water and added 2 tbs each of the butter and coconut oil. I felt sick and later had a very strange toilet experience....

So I've gone back to the 1tbs each of butter n oil. Feel a whole heap better. And I love my morning chocolate....I am unable to consume lactose so double cream is out. But lactofree cream is on my list to add. Also some orange zest to make a chocolate orange flavour.....

I drink it straight out of the blender jug with a straw. 'Cause I'm classy like that. Also I am always rushing and I have taken it in the car with me to the Heathrow.

Only one £8.99 jar of coconut oil is gonna last me only 2wks at this rate.

I just use whatever butter we have in the fridge. Today it's Lurpak. The coconut oil is from the "Groovy Food" company and is organic and "extra virgin" - stocked in Tesco
I've tweaked my recipe. One tablespoon each of coconut oil and butter and then a good glug of double cream. I'm reckoning that as nearly 500 calories of fatty goodness. When I have one of those it sees me through to lunch quite easily.

Well, I've been adding double cream to my morning quadruple espresso for the past week or so, and much to my surprise I am starting to like it (a lot) in fact I couldn't wait to fire up the espresso machine this morning.

I still can't imagine adding butter

or coconut oil

to it, but it certainly already is much more satisfying and filling.
