Anyone here drink bulletproof coffee for breakfast?

nah - just speed & caffeine water, but hey so does the founder

I routinely add coconut oil to my coffee or tea, but I've never heard of the butter benefit. I add the coconut oil because it improves the taste and adds a healthy oil to my diet, albeit only a quarter teaspoon full.

i do. it does suppress appetite. it also makes you run to the john if your body isn't in the mood for MCT's. big time. you do get a lot of energy from it with 0 carbs. The special upgraded coffee part is not necessary. The downside, besides possible explosive BM's, is that you get no proteins or essential nutrients that you would get if you had eggs or something or breakfast.

What are these "toxins and stuff" you speak of that are in regular coffee?

Dave Asprey is a con artist selling an overpriced product.

Just drink green tea with a tsp of coconut oil added.

This sounds like it would make me puke.

sounds like it makes sense but really you want at least a LITTLE BIT of sugar (healthy) in the morning to replete liver glycogen stores which were lost during sleep

I don't really know, it was just my quick take of what I came across when reading about bp coffee. I think the word I came across was myotoxins. The bp coffee is supposed to be free from it but it's' crazy expensive ($25+ for less than a pound).

Details please...

How do you make yours? I read you don't need to buy their overpriced coffee but a local grown quality coffee is important.

Do you need the grass fed butter and their potent MCT oil (or will regular coconut oil be ok).

You use a coffee maker or french press or something?

I've never heard of this. Is there a study or research to support this claim or is it just something you heard?

When I saw "bulletproof" coffee, I was really expecting something with more alcohol. Now a nice Spanish coffee gets me going in the morning.

My team is provided free bulletproof but since it's an anonymous message board you don't know who I am-and there for can give an unbiased review.

If you're an athlete there's really no need to skip breakfast with this coffee. In my opinion, you can do that if you're trying to lose weight. But that should really be the only exception. Sometimes when I have a few hour ride and I plan on eating a lot on the bike, I'll just drink the coffee then go.

The coffee is delicious, and great with the grass fed butter and MCT oil. I have had no issues other than I now like it more than Starbucks. (Usually a big fan of Pikes Place, Gold Coast, Italian Roast etc.).

It will take a while to get used to the butter over time, and you will find yourself adding a bit more. Just make sure it is unsalted.

I make mine with a moka pot, then add the butter and oil- blend it up in a nutri bullet. It tastes amazing and I don't really need more than one cup a day. I've found that I don't get a really quick coffee buzz and it leaves you not feeling awful an hour after drinking it.

It is super expensive, and I wouldn't say the coffee itself tastes any better than what I've had in the past. But with the butter, and the apparent lack of myotoxins- I like it a lot.

It's the truth frisky, but it only works when you use chocolate milk....and you have to know how to make it.

i use regular coffee from a keurig maker ( 12 oz ) and 2 tbsp of kerrygold unsalted butter ( grass fed cows, etc) and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil ( Spectrum brand - virgin / organic ) and then a dash of saigon cinnammon for some extra flavor. It all goes in the blender for about 30 seconds. There is no need to melt the butter before hand. I would recommend starting easy on the coconut oil and maybe just using 1 tbsp butter, and then increasing if you feel like it - i did have GI issues the first few times i tried it, but i was just dumping the butter and coconut oil in the coffee and mixing with a spoon. the blender makes it very frothy and tasty. i don't add any sweetener.

I've tried it and it's just a gimmick they use to help it stand out. Waste of time and money

I also want to know how they're locally growing coffee here in the US.

off topic, "all of this is nonsense", a few weeks back i said i didn't have any advice to offer. now i do. stop drinking coffee. you work your adrenals hard enough as it is. the only time i can recommend it is with about 2 hours before the finish line on the last day of a stage race. it raises the core temperature, making you sweat slightly more, and makes bigger swings up and down in your electrolyte balance due to how it bonds to the calcium ion gate or whatever the proper scientific term is.

back on topic, sort of. the founder of bulletproof coffee gets his real bulletproofness from modafiinil or some similar analogue of it.

alright, I'm going to give it a try w/ some regular coffee. I'll report back in a few.
