Bulletproof Coffee

Disclaimer: This sounds super awful. In fact, when I first heard about it I didn't try it for months because I didn't trust the recipe just the sound of it makes you think it tastes super bad but trust me on this one once you have tired your not going to want to switchback to normal coffee.


Ingredients

-Low Toxin Coffee Beans

-Unsalted Grass Fed Butter

-Coconut Oil

Make sure the butter you use is grass fed. The fat from grass fed cows is not the same as the fat from grain fed cows. Grass fed is far better in every capacity.



How to make it: 

1. Place 2 to 6 tablespoons of grass fed butter in large cup.

2. Place 2-3 Tablespoons of coconut oil in a large cup.

3. Brew 16 ounces of low-toxin coffee pour into the cup.

Mix with a spoon or blend it in a blender
Idea behind it is:
The fat in the butter and the effects of the coconut oil will keep you full and energized for hours. And I call it my secret weapon because it will help you melt fat and build muscle. It’s also extremely good for you, providing necessary saturated fat and CLAs (Conjugated linoleic acids).
I prefer to have my bulletproof coffee for breakfast. It’s also great to use on an intermittent fasting protocol as it will fill you up and revamp your energy without pulling you out of ketosis.
Seriously, coffee is no longer coffee unless it’s bulletproof.


Science behind it:


Greater rise in fat oxidation with medium-chain triglyceride consumption relative to long-chain triglyceride is associated with lower initial body weight and greater loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue.

The application of medium-chain fatty acids: edible oil with a suppressing effect on body fat accumulation.
