After reading over & over about BPC I gave it a try tonight (i'm working all night). I couldn't wrap my head around oil in my coffee but it was quite tastey and satisfying. I drank it at 1130pm and usually snack through the early morning, but haven't had a thing since and its amost 3am. I only put about a tablespoon of coconut oil & butter and no cocoa. I might try the cocoa tomorrow.

Sounds like a good coffee! But not any good for metabolism, if weightloss is the aim...

Saving this ongoing post for later. I am intrigued. Thank you for sharing.

What is good for metabolism?

Didn't have butter or ghee, but decided to give this a shot today. Used 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp cocoa and added heavy cream to my coffee. Didn't pull out the blender. Drank it at 7am. Didn't enjoy it and felt a little sick to my stomach, but it's now 2pm and I'm still not hungry.

Brought to hard boiled eggs to work just in case as I'm normally starving at 9:30am. I haven't even snacked on anything today. I'd say it's working.

Gonna gag it down again tomorrow. Ordering Ghee too. And pulling out the Ninja! LOL

Just read this entire thread on my smart phone at work. It has made me hungry and crave a latte from the cafe downstairs :-(

I bought coconut oil while ago to try this but only had margarine at home, it was ok, but I wasn't used to no milk and burnt my mouth trying to drink it too soon.

At the time I had an aversion to using lots of calories up at the start of the day so I did not pursue it. I am over that now and making huge breakfasts which I split into 2 and take half to work. I intrigued by this thread so I will give it a proper try, if I can get the butter.

If it works as well as you all say I can stop dragging half my pantry to work every day.

I will give it a week and report back.

So yesterday my Ghee came and I tried the BPC again this morning. 2 tbsp Ghee (which smells amazing BTW), 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder, sprinkle of cinnamon and 2 drops liquid splenda. All with 12 oz of coffee in my Ninja.

It was very good. However (TMI) an hour later I was on the toilet. This started at 7am and has been going on all morning. It's now 11am. I finally made it to work and luckily am close to the potty, but my coworkers are laughing hysterically at me!

Anyone else ever have this problem?

Of course it could be that italian panini I broke down and ate last night! Damn carbs!

On a good note...not hungry and have probably lost a lot of weight today!

I made BPC yesterday morning as well as this morning, so far I'm absolutely loving it!

Yesterday I had it first thing when I woke up at 6am (was still half asleep, so I was fumbling) and noticed that I was still hungry come 10:30-11:00. Not much of a change there, but I just had a little snack and then had a light lunch a couple hours later.
This morning I had my regular black coffee first and then tackled the BPC, bringing it to work with me. This time seems to be lasting me a lot longer - it's 12:30 and I'm not hungry at all yet. (I'm doing 2TBS grassfed butter, 2TBS coconut oil, 1TBS unsweetened cocoa)

So I was wondering, do you usually have your BPC first thing when you wake up or do you wait a while and then drink it? Does it seem to make a difference in how well it works for you?

Also, I'm just using Folgers (I know, I know)... I just can't justify spending big $ on fancy coffees right now! Is anyone else using generic coffee or know of some upgraded coffee that doesn't cost a crazy amount?

And I can only get one kind of coconut oil so that will have to do!

One more question.... I posted this in a different thread, but I think I should've posted here for my fellow low-carbers.

For someone that hasn't been on a low carb diet (or any diet for that matter), would this coffee have the same effect on them? My husband wants to see what all the fuss is about, but he isn't following any kind of diet...

If I had to make a guess, I would guess no, it wouldn't work the same way for him. Why? Because the human body uses carbs and glycogen stores first for energy. Low carbers have very few carbs and glycogen to burn through and are readily fat burning adapted. I think the danger would be depending on how much sugar he intakes daily, a higher fat, high sugar diet can be a very bad combination for the body. The WHO recommends less than 10% of your diet come from sugar. Most people far exceed this. I personally wouldn't recommend bulletproof coffee to those without a lower carb lifestyle. He may get a boost of energy from the caffeine in coffee and may feel full, but the long term risks of higher fat, high sugar diet wouldn't be worth it. And, without a calorie deficient there would be no weight loss benefit.

I discovered BPC about three weeks ago and am LOVING it, but mostly just for the taste.
I can't say for certain it has improved my energy levels or my hunger levels in the morning. Maybe some of you can help?

I'm currently doing my second round of P90X3 since January. I workout first thing in the morning on an empty tummy. I've lost 20+ pounds since January, and more than half of those just in the last five or six weeks since I started calorie counting (and paying attention to my foods in general) with MFP.

The trouble is that my BPC alone doesn't feel like enough breakfast for me. Maybe I'm too used to eating more carbs (I do love Costco's organic honey chia bread toasted up nicely) or maybe I need more calories post-workout? They're only 30 minute workouts, though.

I'm currently doing just 1Tbsp kerrygold and .5Tbsp Nutiva organic coconut oil with organic beans from Trader Joes and 1tsp Manuka honey. Should I increase my portions?

Is this an adequate post-workout replenishment? Should I be having protein for muscle repair? Since I started bulletproof coffee my weight has somewhat stalled (except for daily fluctuations). I'm no longer losing quite as fast as I was before, but maybe that's due to muscle gain from my latest "Mass" routine of P90X3.


I'm feeling like I'm on the right track but I'm still a little lost as I've just begun reading about this stuff, paleo diets, etc. There's so much data out there to prove diametrically opposed theories that I don't really know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated!
