While browsing the internet, I stumbled on to a video on Bullet Coffee. I watched and was kind of shocked to see this guy making coffee with Butter and Coconut Oil (2 tblspoon Butter + 2 tblspoon Coconut Oil + 2 Cups Coffee, then blended).
This sounded gross to me but I decided to try it anyway. Supposedly, this is for low carb dieters or ketogenic dieting and is supposed to give you energy and makes you full. Since I lost 45lbs on the Atkin's Diet in 2005 I was aware of low carb diets and how they work. I periodicly go low carb or reduce carbs when I need to.
I have a Keurig Coffee Maker and a Nutri-Bullet Smoothy Blender. I added the butter and coconut oil directly to the nutribullet and then brewed coffee (12oz) into the nutribullet container. Then added the blades and blended for 5-10 seconds. This produced a very foamy coffee that was very similar to a capichino with a very slight taste of coconut. I mostly tasted the coffee and couldn't even taste the butter.
More internet research indicated that the coconut oilis full of MCT Oil (about 65%). These are medium chain tryglicerides which are easy-to-digest saturated fats (supposedly the good version of saturated fats).
Next, I saw a bottle of MCT Oil at Whole Foods so I bought it and decided to change my reciepe to 1tlbspoon MCT + 1tblspoon Coconut Oil + 2 tblspoon Butter + 2 cups of coffee.
RESULT:
I don't know how this is working but I have lost 15lbs over the past 4 weeks and I have changed nothing in my daily diet except the bullet coffee. I did drink the oil straight one morning when I was running late; don't ever doo this (key word doo). I've gone from 36 waist jeans to 34 and I can't even wear the 36's as I can pull them off without unbuttoning; their just too damm big.
Just wondering if anyone else is on this program....for the record, I am moving towards a ketogenic diet and reducing many carbs (like sugar, candy, bread). I am eating lots of green vegetables and meats/fish/chicken but I am not measuring intake at all and eat as much as I want (probably too much).
