llololoololololololoololololol
The entire point is to eat a high fat/low carb diet and eat until satiated and NOT count calories or be at a deficit.
I'll just leave this here

I was going to ask for people's experiences myself. I wasn't going to try it for weight loss per se. But David Asprey(sp?) who created it, did so because he felt the brain ran on fats, so adding fat to the coffee 'woke' up his brain. But couldn't that waking up effect just come from the caffeine itself?
The brain doesn't run on fats. It's made of fat. It runs on glucose.
Sayings the brain runs on fats is like saying cars run on metal.0 -
Will I get the same result eating butter on toast and washing it down with coffee? Or will the toast
c***block the magical energy?0 -
I finally bit the bullet
I just made one with-
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp Butter
And 1 raw egg.
Bloody yummy!! It tastes like a creamy coffee, but without cream and milk.1 -

I admire your ability to jump in both feet first lol. I'm reading this thread like some strange foreign thing - slightly repulsed but interested0 -
I tried some tonight out of curiosity, meh. It's not terrible but it's a lot more work than a cup of black coffee.0

hehe once you try it, you won't go back I've only just started drinking coffee, black. This way makes it much easier and tastier. I'll only do it every now and then, and obviously not on a fasting day!

I love bulletproof coffee. I use 1tbs coconut oil, 1 tbs unsalted butter, and 1 tbs heavy cream, dark roast coffee. YUM. I don't froth it, just stir and I leave the spoon in so I can stir every so often. I use refined coconut because the flavored unrefined upsets my tummy. I started Keto 3 months ago and have lost 37 lbs so far.0

I wish! Butter in coffee is delish, no doubt, but it doesn't satiate me much at all.

I went on a "fat fast" for three days and started the bulletproof coffee. I am so hooked on it every morning now. 12 oz chocolate or vanilla flavored coffee, 1/2 to 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 1-2 tsps coconut oil, 1 tbsp whipping cream, and shot of skinny girl stevia vanilla liquid. I do use my mixer that I originally bought for shakes that didn't work.0

So..... "bulletproof coffee" is just a fat delivery system for those who can't get enough through food? Huh.
My personal preference would be to eat my delicious fats and drink my coffee strong and black. Why make "bulletproof coffee" when you could just as easily have some delicious black dark roast and a plate of salty, chewy, crispy bacon?

I don't see why not, however it would need to be at a high temperature first to melt the butter & coconut oil (the usual) so as long as you mix it very well while making it up hot first there's no reason not to. I've made bullet proof hot chocolate before, tastes just as creamy and luxurious as the coffee - i've even mixed coconut oil with green tea, but skipped the butter & cream. eek.0 -
A friend lost 40lbs with this coffee so she started selling it to our church friends, and nearly all lost quite a few pounds that year. Fast forward today: Every single one of them without exception are much, much heavier than when they started. It's just not logical or sustainable! WHY is everyone looking for the secret bullet to weight loss? JUST EAT LESS AND MOVE MORE!0
