![]() That said, Bulletproof Coffee’s nutrient profile doesn’t stack up against, say, an avocado and a couple whole eggs. The coffee itself is full of polyphenols and unique cancer-fighting oils like kahweol and cafestol. You can see the difference in vitamin A content – grass-fed butter has a sunny yellow color that conventional butter lacks. Grass-fed butter is packed with beneficial fatty acids and several vitamins, especially compared to grain-fed butter. Wouldn’t I get more nutrients eating whole foods for breakfast? Again, you can read more about the science behind intermittent fasting (with plenty of references) here. That means you can stay in a fasted state as long as you’re only eating fat – which is why Bulletproof Coffee is such a good complement to intermittent fasting. Protein does the same – your body converts it to glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, which is inefficient but enough to raise your insulin.įats, on the other hand, don’t impact your blood sugar levels. But if you keep insulin low (by fasting) you can keep that improved cellular function and mental clarity going.Ĭarbs raise your blood sugar and insulin levels when they convert to glucose. Traditionally, in the morning, your breakfast will increase insulin and turn autophagy off. Your insulin levels drop while you sleep, during which time autophagy cleans out cellular waste and improves your brain function. Insulin is famous for regulating your blood sugar, and it’s also what turns autophagy on and off. ![]() No, as long as you aren’t having protein or carbs with it. Won’t Bulletproof Coffee break your fast? Fasting also has mental and fat-burning benefits. It promotes autophagy – that’s when your cells clean themselves out and recycle damaged parts into pristine ones. You can read more about the science behind Brain Octane and hunger suppression here.ĭoes Bulletproof Coffee work with fasting?įasting is a great way to slow aging. In this case, drinking your calories can be more satisfying than eating them. Plain coconut oil isn’t strong enough to affect ghrelin and CCK the way Brain Octane does. Brain Octane is a pure extract of the strongest ketone-producing fats in coconut oil, and it affects two hormones, ghrelin and CCK, in a way that turns your hunger off for hours. It rapidly converts to ketones, which are an alternative to the glucose your body usually uses for fuel. This is where Brain Octane really works its magic. But Bulletproof Coffee is a different beast entirely. Most sugary drinks give you a quick burst of energy…then you crash and get hungry an hour later. If you’re talking about fructose-laden juice or soda, yes. They’re doing a lot of good for you.ĭrinking calories is unsatisfying, right? Don’t fear the calories or fat in Bulletproof Coffee. Īll that translates to feeling full for hours while burning fat. Plus, coffee itself increases fat burning and metabolism. The Brain Octane’s medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) metabolize into fuel for your brain and promote thermogenesis, increasing your metabolic rate. The saturated fat and cholesterol in the grass-fed butter support your hormones (all steroid and sex hormones, including fat-burning testosterone, come from cholesterol) and provide a slow burn of steady energy that’s an upgrade over the carbs in traditional breakfast fare. Counting calories doesn’t work because your biology is far too complicated to reduce weight loss to “calories in, calories out.” A better approach is to optimize your metabolism and hormones, both of which contribute to fat burning, while curbing your hunger with food that keeps you full for hours.īulletproof Coffee checks those boxes. In the long term, restricting your calories like that won’t help you lose weight. Thus begins a painful cycle of yo-yo dieting. Plus, because your body slows your metabolism down to match your decreased calorie intake, you end up gaining more weight than you lost. You starve yourself for a few days, and eventually (probably at nighttime, when the ventral tegmental area – the part of your brain that controls willpower – has used up its energy for the day) your friends order a pizza, your low-calorie plan falls apart, and you eat everything in sight. If you’ve ever tried a low-calorie diet you know how unsustainable it is. Isn’t Bulletproof Coffee too many calories? And too much fat? ![]() Bulletproof Coffee is carefully designed to: Bulletproof Coffee is a blend of mold-free and mycotoxin-free coffee, grass-fed butter (or grass-fed ghee), and Brain Octane Oil (not coconut oil, which is an important distinction).
