Anyone else try "buttered coffee"?

I read this was a way to gain energy and lose weight.

I tried it for the first time this morning...and I'm still not hungry!

It also tasted delicious. I mixed Trader Joe's organic coffee with a TBL. of coconut oil and 1 TBL. of Kerrygold butter - foamed it up in the Vitamix.

It was YUMMY!

Yes. We call it bulletproof coffee.

It was very tasty...and I wasn't expecting much!

Do they call it 'Bulletproof" since your heart, veins & arteries will seize up after drinking it?

I prefer to keep my Endothelium happy & healthy w/ food/drink that has nutrients in it. Just don't see how anyone with any nutritional sense would do this. SMH.

I can see why insurance on another thread is the hot topic in this case....

A fat free diet is why Americans are obese or overweight. The craze for fat free only proved that it doesn't work......more than 2/3 of Americans are either overweight or obese.

And the latest research also proved that it is sugar NOT FAT that is the culprit for heart disease.

It's just coffee, coconut oil (which is supposed to be good for you) and butter. Low carb.

It may be low carb, but if you follow the recipe (2 tablespoons each of both fats) the calorie count is 450 calories. I assume this is meant to drink as breakfast alone, no other food consumed.

It does seem like a waste of calories. Usually I drink 0 calorie coffee.

Yes it's your entire breakfast...but I used one tablespoon of each.

It may be all in my "head", but I wasn't jittery or hungry all morning.

No offense but it sounds vile. But hey, that's just me

It's an old early-2014 Fad...chugging down pure oil. Seriously? It's soooo not healthy. Poor veins, heart, liver are working overtime to fix all the damage this creates....leaching out all the important minerals in ones system & bones to neutralize all this acid. Plus zero nutrition. like I said before....Healthy Endothelium is where it's at!!

That's what I hear about coconut oil. Is that the solid I see in stores?

Re: Anyone else try ""buttered coffee""?

Here's the advice from WebMD:

Coconut oil, according to recent reports, is the latest food cure-all. Claims abound that coconut oil is a health food that can cure everything from poor immune function, thyroid disease, and heart disease, to obesity, cancer, and HIV.

So should you stock up on coconut oil? Not so fast.

The evidence that coconut oil is super-healthful is not convincing and these claims appear to be more testimonials than clinical evidence.

There is very limited evidence on disease outcomes, says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health. "All that has been studied well is the impact of coconut oil on cholesterol levels and the findings are intriguing but we still don't know if it is harmful or beneficial," Mozaffarian says.

Neither the American Heart Association (AHA) nor the U.S. government's 2010 Dietary Guidelines suggest that coconut oil is any better or preferable over other saturated fats. Coconut oil, like all saturated fats, should be limited to 7%-10% of calories because it can increase risk for heart disease, according to the AHA and 2010 Dietary Guidelines.

The OP is doing 1T of each, which reportedly is 222 calories.

Today was just Day One. It actually tasted REALLY good - like coconut coffee with heavy cream. The Vitamix frothed it up and made a layer of crema.

I'm doing low sugar/low carb all day...lots of veggies, eggs and fish/chicken/turkey.

I'm trying to get a "jump" on the New Year!

I think there are places around here that serve it. I'd take a taste, but only a taste

I'm trying to get a jump on the New Year, too. In fact, that's my chore of the morning, plan healthy meals for the rest of the week and get a grocery list going.

Salmon is good. I'm trying to come up with healthy appetizers for New Year's, I have one in mind: cherry tomatoes, hallowed out and stuffed with feta and I can't remember what else. DH put them together for us last year.
