Hello, All,

Well, this thread has been about done to death, so of course I'm going to add my 2 cents!

The last couple of nights I've just been dragging! The tiredness hits me at work, and just doesn't go away. And the dinners I've been eating at work (I don't get a lot of time, but I work 3-8 PM, so I need to eat during that time) have mainly been protein shakes with some pork rinds an olives.

So tonight, I decided to try my own version of the bulletproof coffee. I didn't have any cocoa powder, but I did have some vanilla flavored coffee. I used 12 oz of that, with 1 tb of coconut oil and 2 tb of butter (don't have grass-fed, so I used plain ol' ordinary butter), and 1 packet of artificial sweetener (I still had 1 left in my allowance of 3), and blended them up. I was going to take it to work and sip it there, but I gave it a taste, and it was pretty good, so I just drank it all before leaving. I cut my dinner down, tonight, to just the protein shake and olives.

And, I'm not dragging tonight (and wasn't throughout my shift).

Now there are a lot of things going on, after all, I just started induction on Monday, so it may just be that I finally crossed that hump into getting fully used to fat metabolism. Or the coffee may have contributed. I think I'll definitely experiment with it some more. If I can't get to sleep tonight, I'll use decaf next time. But I'll definitely use this one again.

Thanks for sharing it :happy:

I'm definitely trying this. I have an appt. this morning but I will head to Bed Bath & Beyond for the Aerolatte (unfortunately can't use my Nutribullet to make because hot items can damage unit) and then Trader Joe's for the grass fed butter. I have the organic Nutiva virgin coconut oil in my cupboard. I've been on vacation this week and I wish I tried it earlier, but I'll see how it goes over the weekend. I start work at 5 am and my breakfast is a "nutriblast" with spinach, carrots, chia seeds, hemp protein, flax meal, almond milk and coconut oil. This usually ends up being around 450 cals which include my 2 cups of coffee with light cream. I usually eat a snack mid morning and have my lunch when I get home (around 1-2 pm). I'm interested to see if I can get through the morning without a "snack". I don't like the grazing that I've been doing - maybe this will help.

Just made my first cup of bulletproof coffee! First impressions: if using Keurig maker, get a strong coffee and make the largest cup setting. The Aerolatte is a must as I'm pretty positive I could not mix this very well without it. The taste is really good and I think using the grassfed butter, although expensive, makes it very creamy. I will post again later with an update!

I have been doing a variation of bullet proof coffee for a while now.

I use the large cup setting on the Kurig and use what ever flavor I pick up

10oz coffee
4 Pumps of SF Davinci or Torani flavor (depends on the coffee flavor)
1tbsp Raw Honey
1tbsp unsalted butter
3tbsp of coconut oil

after it is in the magic bullet cup I add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla whey powder and blend it well. then put it in a cup with
3tbsp of heavy whipping cream.

If you want to cut out carbs don't add the honey. The only reason I add honey is I am in maintenance and am trying to do 100 to 120 carbs a day on the days I work out.

I mix the oil, butter and cocoa together, then put it in a small Tupperware container. It cools and becomes solid. I get a Grande Starbucks medium roast drip coffee and spoon the mix into it. It melts and I stir it together. Then I stick a straw through the lid of the cup and have breakfast :-)

This is a great idea!
I am going away for an archery and axe throwing competition on the 8th of June and will need something low carb for breakfast rather than popping in to Macca's on the way each morning!
Do you heat the butter and coconut oil or just smoosh it together?
How is your weightloss going?

Just had my first serving this morning. It was yummy! And didn't make me feel bad at all.
However, I feel super jacked up! And I am definitely a coffee drinker, so I don't feel like it's just the 12 oz of coffee that I had!
I had it at 6:10 am, and 4.5 hours later, I'm not hungry in the slightest.
Mine had 405 calories and 43 g of fat :-)

Update: Drank my BPC at 6:15AM, and didn't feel hungry at all until 12:15PM. FULL of energy. However when 12:30 pm struck, I was FAMISHED! Next time I will eat around noon so that I don't feel so empty!

I just went out and bought some organic butter. I found the Kerrygold, but it says reduced fat??? so I hope that is okay. I guess I am a hillbilly when it comes to coffee. Someone mentioed get a "quality coffee" so the beans don't have mold. I don't know what that is??? I just drink Folgers. Do I have to get beans and ground them? and if so, how do I know they don't have mold?

Also, I spent a year learning to love black coffee.... getting rid of the cream and artificial sweetener. So this kind of worries me that I can even go backwards. But I am going to try.

I added the butter today!

Butter, Coconut Oil, Heavy cream and coffee. It was pretty tasty! Not to mention how full I was until after lunch time and I still have a ton of energy.

Had a go this morning. Found just plonking the butter coconut oil and cocoa in a small bowl and microwaving for a minute doesn't take much stirring to make a chocolatey goop that just mixed into the filter coffee no problem at all.

The heavy cream is not in the original recipe, just putting that out there, I am loving the good quality coffee, MCT and butter combo, I had it this morning at 7am and was fine until around 2pm!!

Yesterday, I went and bought a membership to Costco. My old one at the "other place" was expiring and I thought I would try something new even though it is a bit farther drive.

I found the coconut oil mentioned in an earlier post. I also found the Kerrygold butter although I didn't see anything that said low fat. I already had the whipping cream.

I used my blender since I don't have the tool others mentioned. I warmed everything a little bit, put it in the blender, then heated up in the microwave and it's wonderful.

The butter definitely makes this coffee what it is. As a side note, I thought it was cute and ironic that the Kerrygold pure Irish butter is made in Illinois

Why are people putting cream in the bulletproof coffee???

Butter is used because it has "All the benefits of healthy milk fat with none of the damaging denatured casein proteins found in cream"
So it seems to me that some of you are negating the benefits of the coffee.

What is the difference between the kerrygold butter and other butters purchased at Costco.... i have been using real butter... should I make the switch?

You want to look for dairy from grass-fed cows, also known as pastured cows. Kerrygold is one of those. There are others out there, but I think Kerrygold is the best known. Dairy from grass-fed cows have higher levels of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Also contains something called CLA, which has benefits in fighting cancer.
