LOL it's for taste and filling your macros out. It has about as much woo as someone's daily latte. There's no science in it so no woo. Just a taste preference that suits a diet that is not low fat.0 -

The claims a lot of people make about it boosting your metabolism and burning fat are woo.0 -
I drink my coffee black and no sugar! Wouldn't touch it!0

Beyond a mild thermogenic effect from the MCTs, I am in agreement.0 -
I feel like the poop after-effect would be lethal.0

Stick with that skepticism, you're on the right track. People on keto diets do it because it adds fat to their diet without appreciable carbs or protein, and fat is their main macro. Since I'm not a keto dieter, I can think of a lot of other ways to take in 300 calories which would be a lot more filling and enjoyable. If I was going to drink 300 calories for breakfast, I'd rather have it be in the form of a nice big protein shake with a banana and some PB2 powder blended in.0 -
I hate breakfast and love coffee ...so it works for me. I don't add butter -just coconut oil and a few sprinkles of cinnamon then blend it [and I STRONGLY recommend blending]. It is creamy and very tasty. I notice that it gives me a clean, sustained boost of energy without a crash and it does seem to curb my appetite -and being a Soldier and MMA fighter, I have a ton of very hard working buddies that tried it and feel the same. I still rely on eating healthy, whole foods, and working out -but it's now a permanent addition to my morning routine.
To all the people that turn their nose up without trying it, and without knowing first hand ...you're just as ridiculous as the people that say drinking this will turn you into some thermogenic machine.0 -
So many negative comments! If it's not your cup of "coffee" then don't do it. It works for me, but I tend to lower the amounts. It is CERTAINLY better than chemical creamers!! Viva Bulletproof!0

I usually prefer my coffee black; neither sugar nor dairy. Once in awhile I'll add 1-2 tsp of coconut oil (usually on IF days where I can afford the minor calorie hit) just to change the flavor profile a bit and switch things up. I've not noticed any miraculous effect on my energy levels or any other such thing beyond that which the caffeine in the coffee provides on any other day.0

I've tried it and it was okay. I didn't feel full on it as I never do when I drink calories and I felt the same energy that I do from regular coffee. So, in the end, it's just not worth the calories for me. If you like it and it fits your macros then have at it. But, no, it's not a fat burner.0

I drink it everyone once in a while. I tend not to get nearly enough fat. I generally just use coconut oil and no butter.
It isn't a magical solution to anything, but it is a way to increase fat without adding carbs.
If you emulsify the coconut oil with hot coffee in a blender, it tastes like having added dairy. It's not slick, oily or gross.0 -
I've heard of it and it sounds awful. I want my coffee like I want my workout shirts--black.0

I put 1 tsp of coconut oil in my coffee now with a packet of turbinado sugar and a packet of stevia and unsweet almond milk. I like the little bit of fat-it has helped my elimination if you know what I mean. I also like how it tastes... I tried the butter and it wasn't bad but I did not lose weight doing that......0

lol... I did this once but let me clarify. I work in the grocery industry and often get asked to sample the new health products since everyone knows that I'm in good health, track everything, and keep pretty good logs about how it affects me.
A cleanse product came in ( I know, I know) and I got asked to sample it for product review ... it basically asked you to drink a large quantity of walnut oil, something like 9 cups, over a period of 24 hours. That was the worst thing I've ever done... no lie.0 -
