How much heavy cream should you put in coffee?

The extra 4% of fat does make a difference in taste. Normally I just use heavy cream. 2-3 tbsp in a cup of coffee usually does it for me.

Does heavy cream in coffee spike insulin?

It's ok to put a little cream or butter in your coffee while fasting, but avoid sugar, sweetened creamer or artificial sweeteners, which can activate insulin signaling and mTOR.

Does coffee with stevia break a fast?

Short answer? No – stevia hasn't shown to break any main aspects of fasting. Stevia is a natural sugar-free sweetener that actually contributes to better blood sugar and insulin levels. Moreover, it doesn't limit your body's ability to break down fat or stay in a state of ketosis.

Can you break your fast with coffee?

As for having coffee or tea during your fast — you should be just fine. As a general rule of thumb, if you drink something with less than 50 calories, then your body will remain in the fasted state. So, your coffee with a splash of milk or cream is just fine. Tea should be no problem either.

Will Stevia break ketosis?
