Bulletproof coffee?

how many mugs of bulletproof would be allowed in a day? i drink at least 6 a day now of coffee with coffeemate and sweetner
 
Eeek!

Ditch the coffeemate, mate!
Check out the ingredients - it has got some blood glucose boosting nasties in it. 6 cups a day might not be good...

I would try making 1 bulletproof cup in the morning, and see how long it lasts you.

I think the idea is that it replaces breakfast, so take it gently, ok?

Hi numan43

Coffee Mate (Nestle)
per 1 teaspoon (7g) - Calories: 35kcal | Fat: 2.20g | Carbs: 3.70g | Prot: 0.10g Nutrition Facts

From: http://www.fatsecret.co.uk/calories-nutrition/

A great site for getting nutrition details on foods, shop brands, prepackaged as well as fresh etc.



Just thought you might find the above useful. The light version of Coffee Mate has even more carbs (over 5g.) It's called "light" because it has less fat. But as you probably now know, us diabetics have to look hard at our carb intake & not just sugars (including fructose, lactose etc.) Thats because carbohydrates are broken down into glucose by the body. Too many carbs for a diabetic will likely spike your blood sugar giving you high readings when testing. I'm sure @daisy1 will have sent you the new members welcome/information pack which has all the basics you need to start understanding your diabetes & how to manage it. It can all be very bewildering for newly diagnosed members, I know. But believe me when I say that you WILL become better at managing your disease. It takes a bit of time to assimilate all the new information & find out what works for you. I scoffed when someone said that to me when I first became a member on here. Yet I'm living proof that it's true. Educating yourself is the key. I've found the forum members to be very helpful, knowledgeable & supportive. I couldn't have moved forward without the people on here to be honest. Oh, and don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they're a bit naff. No-one will make you feel dumb. Good luck & best wishes.

Ali. X

One breakfast is enough.
That's what it is Numan.... breakfast.
Give it a go.
Six coffees a day doesn't match my I'm guessing twenty cups of tea a day!
But that creamy powder stuff your snorting .... give it up!
 
jeeze oh. i take 4 heaped teaspoons per coffee thats 24 daily
 
with low carb, I look for ways to put fat back into my diet. after 50 years of it 'clogging our arteries' there are some old habits to break.
 
coffeemate ditched friends , thanks for the advice

Well done.
Your numbers should be very different.
Be interesting to see over the next few days.
 
I love coffe and butter but not together! However 3 tsp azzera with small amount of hot water (espresso strength in a small mug) and a tablespoon of butter on the side....... Now you're talking! Definately no milk or cream! You're all wooses!
