Coffee affects me enough without adding butter to it. Lord help the cleaners at work.16

I quite like it. Not because it has any benefit, just because I like it. I use coconut oil, not a fan of butter.
You have to whiz it in a blender though, or you just end up with oil slick.4 -
LMAO at claims made in the first google results of it.
It won't trigger fat loss. Pretty much everything David Asprey says about it is pure woo.
But anyway, if the taste is good, I'm all for it... reports?10 -
It made me nauseous and it made my coffee gross. Never again.3

Sounds disgusting.1
-
I tried it - once.4

I too like it, I make mine with coconut oil, butter, cinnamon, and heavy cream then whip it together with my nutribullet (blender is fine too). It is meant as a replacement for breakfast, at least for me calorie wise.6

Coffee is awful and wrong and was actually considered satanic until a pope got hooked on it. All downhill from there IMO! ;-)0

I believe this was the result of a bet between David Asprey and Tim Ferris about who could get people to do the weirdest thing.14

There is nothing magical about it. It tastes pretty good though. It is a lot of calories though and you have to count them because they don't magically melt away. To me it's not worth wasting 100 or more calories on a morning coffee, but to eat their own.0

My friend used to drink a whole pot with what I swear was a whole stick of butter. She couldn't understand why she kept gaining weight.
It tastes pretty good though.3 -
Yes I just made my first bulletproof coffee this morning & it was delicious. Only 2.5 carbs total & it's very filling so I will not eat breakfast until lunchtime. Bulletproof coffee is a staple of the ketogenic diet. I began Keto on Thursday (March 30) & have already lost 6 lbs. I didn't come on mfp until yesterday though so my stats are not correct. I call my recipe from this morning "Bulletproof cafe mocha' & it was delicious. It's beneficial for a Keto diet but probably not for a weight watchers or any calorie/fat counting diets. If you want to add me I can email you the recipe.

On the ketogenic diet you do not count calories. You use carbs, protein and fat as your macros. That's it. Nothing else. So calories have nothing to do with it on the Keto diet which is what it was designed for use with.2 -

You might not be counting calories on your keto diet, but calories (which consist of your macros, ie, carbs, protein, fat) still have everything to do with what is happening with your weight.
I am in ketosis right now, and I too prefer other choices than morning coffee for that equivalent number of calories for the same rate of weight loss. Unless that is, this bulletproof coffee is really spectacularly delicious stuff (as opposed to all the woo benefits many of its proponents champion).10 -

Agreed but I do not pay attention to them. What determines my diet is the carb limit, protein and fat. 0

Hate to tell you but carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram, and fat is 9 calories per gram. Repeating "I'm doing keto" a million times every day will not change this.
I would suggest tracking everything you put in you mouth, including your bulletproof mocha if you want to achieve your weight loss goals.
Ive never specifically done keto, but have included bulletproof style coffee in my macro/calorie controlled diet with great benefits. From the calorie/macro tracking, not the coffee.
I also don't eat til lunchtime. But I don't need a fat bomb to make that possible. I just don't eat.8 -

I am but not by the calories. I think I am doing something right because I've already lost 6 lbs. I appreciate your suggestion though.0 -

if you're counting them, you're (indirectly) counting calories. And in that situation bulletproof coffee is still going something to fit your macros.
IE. exactly the same situation (just reading different measurements) as a calorie counter who chooses something more preferential to them on the basis of their own calorie/nutrition goals.4 -

Eating low carb will mean your body drops a lot of water. It's not fat.7 -

Really? I did low carb years ago and lost 50 lbs. how can that be a water? Lol2 -

Honestly did you all come here to argue with people. I thought this was supposed to be a positive and supportive community.5

I am not being what could fairly be construed as negative or unsupportive in any way.
In truly healthy communities, people argue to hash out what the facts are/clear up miscommunications etc. It is a deeply rotten and toxic community where one can reasonably expect their statements to go unchallenged.9 -

So initially 50 lbs is not technically any fat loss? Is that what you are saying? I know a lot of people who lost weight on low carb & that is now their lifestyle. They lost a lot of weight.2 -

Your initial large loss is predominantly water.
The people who lost weight on low carb lost weight because of their calorie deficit, not because they avoided carbs.7 -

That is not what he is saying. Most of the initial weight loss on a low carb diet will be water. Obviously that whole 50lbs is not all initial loss.
Lots of people have lost weight on every given diet. Any diet works if a calorie deficit is in place.4 -

The first time I went on a keto diet I did the exact same thing. And yes, I did lose a fair amount of weight. However after a while I plateaued which is probably because my weight dropped to the point where my maintenance calories coincided with what I was eating. Since going back on keto I've been careful to go with a daily deficit and I've seen a much more consistent weight loss.
