It isn't unusual in keto diets to add avocado oil or some fat to coffee. Some people call it bulletproof coffee. I've tried it and I am not a fan.

I wasn't sure it was possible to add more calories to their drinks but by jove they've gone and done it.

Ew olive oil. Please continue serving me heavy cream wet dream sweetener with a splash of coffee instead.

Also, semi-related: I went to a Greek restaurant that added olive oil to ice cream. It's actually not bad!

Shitty olive oil+shitty coffee=overpriced experiment that's definitely not really a big existing thing. I'll pass.

Also, maybe stop screwing your employees over instead of making up crap like this.

In what world does vegetable oil go in coffee?

It's been pretty well documented that the original doctor behind all of us fearing fat and cholesterol faked his data in his studies. Then the USDA (or FDA, I can't remember) started pushing grain based foods into the food pyramid' to pacify agricultural interests.

The keto diet is trying to force the body into a state of ketosis, where your body skips the step of converting fats to glucose. There are 2 potential uses for this, treating epilepsy, and type 2 diabetes.

However to actually achieve ketosis requires an EXTREME diet, and if you don't fully reach ketosis then you don't get any of the benefits. Just 50 grams of carbohydrates is too much. A true keto diet is like, 80% pure fat. Imagine sitting down for dinner and mostly heavy cream and butter.

​

It may have negative effects on your heart health, but since its primary use is for treating epilepsy that medications cannot control, that's generally considered acceptable. The halfassed keto diets that people do for weight loss are just pointless.

Yeah, Starbucks needs a few more calories in their concoctions

I wish they would bring back the caramel cloud macchioto.

I would say it sounds like a waste of good coffee and good olive oil, but we're talking Starbucks here, so, whatever.

I wouldn't say low-carb diets are pointless. Study after study has shown that if you're going to cut calories from your existing diet, you'll be healthier and less miserable if you cut carbs rather than fat. What's pointless is replacing carbs with fat without lowering your food intake, and expecting health benefits.

This is a pretty weird sentiment to me, as high-fat coffee drinks have been extremely popular for decades now. A frappuccino might as well be made with butter, y'all just can't stand it without sugar.

Heated olive oil is carcinogenic. The majority of olive oils are not 100% real, they are a mixture of oils.

Had some gelato that was caramel and olive oil flavor. Ordered it because it sounded weird. Ordered it again because it was fucking delicious.

This could be to replace the oil that would be present from using actual cream. Bad idea though, as other oils had distinct flavors and don't mix as well as cream, which is naturally emulsified. Just go back to using real cream.

Again, I really don't get it. You think cream without loads of added sugar tastes terrible, or you think oil and butter are totally different foods? Anyway, people have been putting oil in coffee since the 1950s as a cream substitute. Don't understand why you're determined to get upset at "the keto people" for something that is, again, way more popular than keto itself.
