Yes, coffee and coconut oil are beneficial together, though not in all cases. Coconut oil in coffee has become very trendy in recent years, but not everyone will benefit from this combination. If you are following a keto diet, which is high in fat and low in carbohydrates, coconut oil in coffee is a good combination. It helps maintain ketosis because coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are absorbed and processed by the liver more rapidly than other fats. The combination of coconut oil and caffeine is a potent one when it comes to energy and increased metabolism. There is evidence to suggest that adding coconut oil to your coffee will give you a bigger boost than caffeine alone, and you’ll be less likely to crash as the caffeine wears off. Studies like Coconut oil consumption improves fat-free mass, plasma HDL-cholesterol and insulin sensitivity in healthy men with normal BMI compared to peanut oil, conducted in 2019, have shown that coconut oil can help raise levels of the good cholesterol, HDL, in the same way as coffee. So drinking them together may offer increased benefits. The main disadvantage of adding coconut oil to coffee is its high caloric value, particularly for those trying to lose weight or follow a low fat diet. Two tablespoons of coconut oil adds 242 calories and 25 g of saturated fat. Often fans of the drink will avoid this issue by using it as a meal replacement, but this risks missing out on crucial nutrients found in a more well-rounded diet.
