By definition, the ketogenic diet is a fat loss diet whereby carbohydrate consumption is low and fat is high. This causes blood sugar levels to drop, which allows the body to break down fat for energy (as no carbs are present).

Extremist keto advocates claim that drinking keto/bullet proof ‘coffee’ puts you into an efficient ‘fat burning state’, but this is simply because fat is being metabolized. The most irrational claim to come to fruition is that: “if in ketosis, one can still lose fat in a state of caloric surplus”. But these claims are based on cherry picked studies undertaken on rats. And therefore cannot be related to human beings.

If we consult meta-analysis (studies done on studies) to produce a reliable, clear conclusion, we can see that fat loss cannot occur without a calorie deficit. Therefore by this universally proven theory, a 5 calorie coffee will support fat loss significantly more than a 480 calorie coffee.

Here are two options for fat loss - 1: Consume 480 calorie coffee’s for breakfast whilst not eating - then avoid carbohydrates across all meals. Or 2: Enjoy regular coffee, eat balanced meals and controlling overall calorie intake via all foods you enjoy. The latter seems more logical.

You can lose fat whilst following a ketogenic diet. But only if you are in a state a caloric deficit. The keto diet still relies on this caloric deficit to determine fat loss occurance. But the fat loss success of a simple caloric deficit does not rely on a keto based diet (funnily enough).
-
If you enjoy the ketogenic diet, do it. But know that it’s grand claims, cherry picked evidence and slimey coffee does not inherently benefit fat loss anymore than a simple arrangement of balanced macronutrients which favour a sustainable, supportive energy balance.

P.s. When you need a spoon to drink coffee, you know it’s not coffee... -
