Bulletproof coffee, am I doing it right?

I hate coffee with anything other than skimmed milk in.
If it's even full fat milk on offer, I'll drink it black instead.

Bulletproof coffee is a gross concept and I don't drink coffee as a rule anyway. Even so, I have to say that I've started to get right into it over the last few weeks. Each to their own, and I totally understand where you're coming from.;)
 
One spoonful of butter is plenty for me.
 
Without butter, without oil, without fat without cream.

Add it, and I'm sure I'll be seeing it again on the way back up.

And then the bloke next to me won't be happy.

Yes me to far to much fat for my stomach to tolerate in one go I only have milk in my coffee
 
So normal coffee is toxic, but he has a special process for the beans he sells.
The oil he sells is better than normal oil as well.

Is it compulsory to use them, as he makes it sound bad using the stuff from tesco's?
 
I use stuff from Tesco. But I do only use Kerrygold butter, as it is from grass fed cows, and doesn't cost that much extra.
 
I use decaff single estate coffee from tescos, bog standard coconut oil and kerrygold.
Or i just bung double cream in instead.

It all depends how much time i have.

'Grass fed' is an interesting label.
What do you believe it is defined as?

Out here, I just tend to buy any butter, (I don't use much) and one look at the lack of grass locally explains why I don't tend to bother .
 
Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what the Cows ate that produced the Butter you buy, the only way to be sure is to have your own cow an feed it only grass.

The is a danger that the LCHF diet can come across as some wierd cult, rather than a sensible way of eating.

In the USA FDA allow a higher myotoxin levels than the EU, so some farmers would sell coffee to Japan and Europe and what's rejected will sell to the Americans. Hence the bulletproof guy banging on about his "product".

What I take from that is single estate coffee from wherever in this country should be good.

The oil in my opinion is MCT oil, basically fractionated coconut oil. Which has some benefits, but also it is a processed oil which our bodies will process differently. Looking at the chemistry I'm not convinced.

So I go butter, coconut oil and raw caco at the moment and I can go for hours.

You can also use tea for the extra antioxidants....not gone there yet.

Is there?
Well sign me up for cultishness then! :D
It is the best I have felt in 30 years, and every little tweak I can make (grass fed butter being one), the better I seem to feel. It is probably the Vitamin K ;)

On the Kerrygold butter wrap it says 'made with the help of our grass fed cows'. That's good enough for me. I have googled organic butter (about the same price), it seemed to imply that cows food must be 80% grass.
 
I just use whatever butter we have in the fridge. Today it's Lurpak. The coconut oil is from the "Groovy Food" company and is organic and "extra virgin" - stocked in Tesco
I've tweaked my recipe. One tablespoon each of coconut oil and butter and then a good glug of double cream. I'm reckoning that as nearly 500 calories of fatty goodness. When I have one of those it sees me through to lunch quite easily.
 
I made bullet proof coffee a few times ( my problem is that I don't like fresh coffee ) however one day I made it and couldn't manage to drink it all at once. Leaving it to go cold. It was almost like a Frappee, really thick and creamy, ( but horrid as tepid fresh coffee lol) Has anyone ever cooled it and served it with crushed ice in a Frappee style?
