So I have stuck with my low carb, high fat lifestyle. One of the things that I added is what is called a bulletproof coffee.
I have found that it really does curve the appetite and its actually yummy.. Anyone here try it yet..

Hi, Alex! :)
Although the Today website cautions about weight gain and no increase in energy,
they are looking at it from a "calories cause fat" perspective.
We know, that perspective has caused more weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) failures than ANY other.
As many here have found, when I increase fat over protein intake,
my weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) progress improves.
And my energy levels have not been higher for over 30 years! ;D
I enjoy my coffee black.
But I might try this for an early afternoon "pick me up".
Since this coffee fits in well with the FTS lifestyle, I will add it to mine.
Thanks for sharing, Alex! ;)

I'm increasing my fat by adding heavy cream to my coffee and tea. I don't care for butter in my coffee. I do like coconut oil in it.
-
Ive tried both.. I only do it on the weekends when I can whip it in the blender.. Maybe I just like butter too much. I only use "good fats" too.. I really do get a burts of energy but hey, it is coffee. :P ::)

Haven't heard about this but being a new Mommy coffee has become a part of my daily routine lol . I am def going to try this have to pick up some unsalted butter . Have you ever used salted butter ?
-
Honestly, I haven't heard that before either try it. I'm satisfied in black coffee and I prefer to be always that.
-
I've used unsalted butter. I used a drink blender and added 1 TB each of unsalted butter, coconut oil & cream. I think it needs another flavor like chocolate & peppermint or cinnamon.

... Have you ever used salted butter ?
Hi, Stephanie! :)
Many recipes (especially desserts) call for unsalted butter to avoid adding a salty flavor.
If you don't put salt in your coffee now, I should suggest sticking with unsalted butter. ;)

Stephanie, I use only salted butter and love it.. Im gonna started making it every morning.. when you blend it it comes out soooo yummy...
-
i miss coffee >:(

Why can't you have it ?

I am anemic it blocks iron absorption.Without enough iron I cant breathe ;)

Oh I remember that Umpa. I'm drinking Yerba Mate tea with peppermint oil & zero Sweet/Stevia combo I made... yum!!!
I'm increasing my green veggie intake and putting 2 tbsp cream in my coffee, drinking 2-3 cups. I make a dressing with organic balsamic vinegar & Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive oil.
I am so much more "regular" eating this way. I also lost a lb I gained from pigging out in nuts. Target had unsalted raw nuts so cheap in large quantities, but they were too good. Now I just buy 1.5 oz pkgs raw nuts at Walgreens for 99¢ each.

My morning tea is Tulsi (Holy Basil) :)
-
What a nice anti-inflammatory tea you drink!
-
I wasn't too sure about adding butter to coffee.......surprisingly, it is very nice! It comes out frothy & rich, a very nice pick-me-up!
-
Just sounds weird to me.
-
Yes and very calming ;) Taste great too
-
I love the BP coffee with a kittle coconut oil and a pat of butter melted in HWC..
Then I add sweefener to taste and just alittle vanilla yu~mmmmmmmm
-
I have had the Bulletproof Coffee & found putting a dash of vanilla gives it a nice flavor.
:D
