Title: Bulletproof Coffee
Post by: Alex Cruz on March 10, 2014, 12:15:04 PM: 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..

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! ;)

Post by: Alex Cruz on March 10, 2014, 03:01:57 PM: 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 ::)

Post by: o0OSusieO0o on March 11, 2014, 10:52:31 AM: 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.

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. ;)

Post by: o0OSusieO0o on March 12, 2014, 02:30:35 PM: 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.
