butter in coffee

it's like bacon on a donut. Tastes awesome, but clogs up your arteries!

Yea I tried it this morning and it was delicious. Aren't saturated fats good for you? Is it actually bad for u?

It's not going to give you any health benefits no matter what the paleomofos say, but it won't do much harm either.

Just keep your calories from saturated fat at 7% of your total calories just to be on the safe side. I think the jury is still out on the safety of eating large amounts of saturated fat.

I use a teaspoon of Barlean's Organic Coconut Oil in coffee; contains Medium Chain Triclycerides (MCTs). Great taste! Not a big coffee drinker but only one cup in the morning.

Oh here we go again. The umpteenth thread on this bullet proof coffee over hyped hipster fad. This'll be catching up with the epidemic of paleo diet and cross fit threads in no time. I'd share the thread links but I'm too lazy and not angry enough to fetch them and make my point. Plus I'm sitting in bed on a mobile device relaxin'. Not going to my CPU. And you might miss some results in the search function because the Letsrun forum search is subpar.

Amateurish too, because unless you live in a cave, magazines, TV, social media like to jump on this fad too. Women's and men's health, runners world, you name it.

A coffee purist drinks their stuff straight and black. In all honesty, this is the empirically tested credo of using drugs--and coffee is a drug--high quality, pure source, and pure and no mixing at time of consumption. Opiates, coca, acid, Mushies, MJ, amphetamines, MDMA... Don't even try to step to me, wannabe coffee poseur snobs. Haha.

If you're adding grass fed organic butter, you're creating a coffee flavored drink. Strong coffee for me even in good scenarios doesn't last long for the buzz. Sometimes their is a sleeper high that kicks in around 40 minutes. When taken in a normal morning, the buzz wears off by afternoon. When taken in the evening, the buzz can go crazy and send me out all night which could be useful for ultra runners... Taking strong coffee immediately with too many other food inputs, and butter would count, changes the onset and experience. If I were you I would get most of my butter at least 40 minutes after drinking, if not 2-3 hours.

Coffee is disgusting and addictive. It will give you the jitters, turn your teeth yellow and brown and burn your tongue about a thousand times. Don't add that garbage to butter.

One of the sillier food fads that's come along.

Bulletproof coffee isn't terrible if you do it right.

But the idea of the entire Bulletproof diet is terrible and a scam.

I guess it's a fad, but I mean whatever. Butter in coffee seems just like putting butter on your toast. What's so hipster about that? If it tastes good and easily prepared...why not?

I don't really like the taste of it, but I make sure I add the butter when I know people in the coffee shop are watching me. If nobody is around, then I skip the butter.

Is using regular butter that's not grass fed and organic bad for you then? Doesn't it fend off hunger and speed up your metabolism? Can you get that special butter just at your local grocery store?

Tibet. has a traditional blend of black tea, milk and salty yak butter, known as Po Cha. It is not a taste I enjoy.

- Grass fed organic butter is less unhealthy for you than normal butter.

- Fat fends off hunger because it has something crazy that scientists call "calories".

- Butter or MCT oil or whatever the f*ck does NOT speed up your metabolism.

- How the f*ck should I know? Do you think I go to your local grocery store?

How do you feed grass to butter?

More and more evidence support that sugar and more than moderate alcohol consumption lead to raised triglycerides and give more chance for you to clog your arteries. So, donuts are bad, but mostly due to the sugar, not the fat.

Yeah, but people like to take evidence like that and run with it like a mongoloid on mooseberries. They read that saturated fat might not be that bad for you and all of the sudden their diet consists of nothing but butter, eggs, and bacon. MODERATION MODERATION MODERATION you f*cking fad dieting fupa-fappers.

That makes sense that it's the sugar rather than the fat. A bit off subject, but what is trans fat? What makes that different from saturated fat? They both clog your arteries, correct?
