Bulletproof Coffee

[Alex Cruz]

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 failures than ANY other.
As many here have found, when I increase fat over protein intake,
my weight loss progress improves.
And my energy levels have not been higher for over 30 years!

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.

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 ?

[rennard]

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.

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.
