How Is Your Morning Coffee Making You Healthier?
Recent Research Shows A Link Between Daily Coffee And a Lower Risk of Death
Not everyone loves coffee, but a significant 64 percent of Americans consume it daily, amounting to over 400 million cups.
According to a HuffPost survey, more than half of all coffee drinkers would rather skip their morning shower than skip their coffee!
Recent research Shows A Link Between Daily Coffee Consumption And A Lower Risk of Death From Any Cause And Cardiovascular Disease.
However, it is important to consider that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, and this study is out of Europe, where coffee consumption is culturally different than in the US.
Therefore, it's recommended to avoid sugary dessert drinks masquerading as coffee
There is a much better way to drink coffee that is both healthy and will accelerate fat loss.
It consists of:
-
Coffee
-
MCT Oil 1 tbsp - derived from coconut
-
Ghee (optional)
Personally, I do not add Ghee as I find it too heavy.
MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil has been studied to help with fat loss due to its unique properties.
MCTs are rapidly absorbed and converted into ketones, which can be used by the body for energy instead of being stored as fat.
Additionally, MCTs have been shown to increase satiety and reduce calorie intake, which can lead to weight loss over time.
Studies have shown that adding MCT oil to a calorie-restricted diet can lead to greater weight loss and fat loss compared to a diet without MCT oil.
One study found that consuming MCT oil as part of a weight loss program led to significantly greater reductions in body weight, waist circumference, and body fat percentage compared to a control group.
Using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) implanted, I measured my results
- Before coffee - baseline glucose 111
- 15 min after drinking - glucose 104
- 30 min after drinking - glucose 107
- 45 min after drinking - glucose 115
- 60 min after drinking - glucose 103
Coffee with MCT Oil keeps my blood glucose steady!

What does all this mean?
It means that coffee can be used as a powerful fat booster.
In addition, adding fat to coffee (MCT Oil) also has the additional benefit of decreasing hunger and reportedly increasing brain function according to the NIH.
*Note: Frankly, I just add 1-tbsp of MCT Oil to my coffee and not butter due to taste and digestive reasons.
- If you drink more than one cup of coffee per day, only Add MCT Oil and/or butter to the first cup of coffee.
- If 1-tbsp of MCT Oil is too difficult on your GI tract, start at 1/2-tbsp for two weeks, then increase.
- MCT Oil doesn't work by magic. For best results, you need to eat a good diet with limited carbs/sugars.
I teach clients to never go above 40mg/dl and I personally try to never go up more than 20mg/dl.
Doing so will cause a large insulin release, and we all know what that means...
- Higher Body Fat
- More inflammation of joints and blood vessels
- More future carb cravings
Always work on keeping your insulin levels low!
