Bulletproof Coffee + IF (Intermittent Fasting)
02-16-2013, 12:27 AM
I would advise that guys make sure they don't have weak adrenals, or are aren't under a lot of chronic stress for this protocol. This can lead to some problems.
IF and bulletproof coffee can put your body into a crisis if it is already stressed.

Had my first cup this morning using grass-fed unsalted butter, coconut oil, and a little whey protein.
Good lord, the energy I have right now.

I think this is a great idea, and something I might do in the future. But for an entire year? How do you pull this off? I am assuming you started from at least decent shape. The goal of getting shredded is welcoming, sure, but how do you avoid the temptation to just eat more and add muscle mass?

Intermittent fasting does not require coffee. Having more than 50 calories in your coffee will pull you out of fasting. Bulletproof is making a nice marketing campaign here

This is the only thread I found on Bulletproof coffee. I don't really care about the fasting since I"m not looking to lose fat or anything.
Bulletproof coffee is great for productivity though.
Tim Hortons/Starbucks Coffee = Low Quality. Lots of jitters and bitter. They worked for exams on low sleep but caused a big crash. Maybe lasted for 2 hours. I would drink it black but its very bitter.
Bulletproof Coffee with grass fed butter + mct oil = Wakes me up and gives me lots of energy even on low sleep. No jitters or comedown, although I do feel a slight decrease in calmness. Very good for productivity. Lasts 2-2.5 times longer, with 0 crash.
Bulletproof Coffee black with mct Oil- Very effective too, without the butter it won't fill you up as much. I only tried it once today after I've had a cup of high quality chinese coffee so I can't say I have much data on this. However I noticed a pretty big increase in concentration and how awake I felt as compared to the chinese coffee which tasted just as good but didn't have the same "oomph". The coffee tasted great black, with very little bitterness.
I don't know how much effect MCT Oil or the grassfed better has since I haven't really tested them against each other.
I'd also recommend trying L-theanine with bulletproof coffee.

After reading 2 pages of this thread I brewed myself a cuppa of organic grown Bali beans w 2 tablespoonful of coconut oil (sadly, no unsalted butter at home). And it's 7pm now. Gotta love RvF.

Are you supposed to do this before breakfast?
In place of breakfast?
After breakfast?

Anyone try this before going out at night?

G,
Can you throw some further thoughts about using this at night?
Is it an adequate replacement for red bull without the crash/depressive qualities? Can it be had with whisky as an equivalent for RB/vodka?

Are all brands of MCT oil created equally, or is there one brand to favor over another?

I haven't used bulletproof coffee brand.
This girl I am dating gave me a gift of a coffee press and some coffee that is pretty damn good.
I used to never make coffee in my crib, so I think she gave it to me so she could make in the the morning when she stays over.
I use kerrygold butter. And Natures Way Coconut Oil.
I did it on Friday and Sat night.
Give me a little more time of experimentation and I will have a better idea of how this stuff works.
