Bulletproof Coffee

[csx]

I've known people who swear by it. I've read well researched articles that say none of its claims have a leg to stand on. It did nothing for me.

I wonder if you can substitute bacon grease.

I can just hear you getting fatter.

LOVE bulletproof coffee. Drink it all the time as part of my keto diet. Word to the wise, build up how much coconut or mct oil you're using. If you aren't used to them they WILL do something awful to your bowels. And the butter must be from grass fed cows. Kerrygold is da real mvp.

I keep kerrygold in the house (on the counter btw) so I may give this a shot.

There's also Caveman Coffee that is basically the same stuff and prepared similarly. Both are founded by former MMA guys and are very similar products. Haven't tried either but would be curious to hear what you guys think.

I have tried it both with grass fed butter and coconut oil. A lot of people who follow a ketogenic diet (ultralow carb [<30g per day], high fat, moderate protein) drink it in lieu of breakfast. It's pretty tasty and filling, but you'll put on weight if you don't watch your calories and constantly drink it lol (most recipes call for 2 tbsp of butter or coconut oil, which is 22-28g of fat and 200-250 calories depending on the butter/oil you use).

 

You're not really supposed to drink it on a "typical" diet, typical being what most people these days eat (high carb, moderate-to-high fat, low-to-moderate protein). You won't get the full benefits and may end up gaining weight as noted above.

This review claims it's a fad diet, and if you're gonna do it, save $ and buy your own ingredients.

This couldn't be another of those weight loss schemes could it ?

 

Yeah come to think of it everyone I see this days seems to be getting thinner.

I have been hearing a lot about bulletproof coffee lately. Apparently it is coffee brewed with grass fed butter and MCT oil added to it. Supposedly it does many things including increased clarity, appetite suppression, added energy. 

Has anyone tried it for any amount of time? 

 

I've made a version of it for a while now. I don't know that I'd scientifically vouch for mental clarity, but I do think it's a great way to start the day. You get healthy calories and yes it does keep you feeling fed for a while if you're eyeing this for diet purposes. For me, I've come to like the taste and it's a quick alternative to making a full breakfast. My preparation: 

-Heat a half coffee cup of water 

-Pour in two shots of espresso

-1-1.5 tbsp Kerry gold

-1 tbsp MCT oil 

That's it. If you don't hate it starting out, you'll likely come to enjoy it. Let me know if you have more specific questions.

Joe Rogan does it so I assume its pretty solid

Been using coconut oil for years to cook with. Never tried concentrated coconut oil though.

I drink just regular coffee black but for health benefits I use a supplement from Onnit.com called Total Primate Care. I recommend it. Costs me $100 a month and I think it's worth it. With all the polluting I do to my body, I feel like I have to at least give it a chance against my decisions.
