All the cool kids in town have jumped on the bulletproof coffee train. While it's become a bit of a Paleo trend to pop some butter and/or coconut oil in your coffee, as far as I know Dave Asprey is the one that 'invented' bulletproof coffee based on his experience drinking yak butter tea in Tibet. Just a standard vacay. For his coffee he uses his beans, which he created to avoid the mold that is apparently prevalent in a lot of mass market coffee beans, grassfed butter or ghee, and his MCT oil which is a concentrated version of coconut oil. If you want to know about the science of it read his book or go here: Bulletproof
I'm not a scientist- I took astronomy as my science credit (and didn't really kill it, truth be told). All I know is how it makes me feel- pretty fucking good. And as a delicate flower who tends to get jittery and crash if I have normal coffee, even if it is an artisanal almond milk latte, it's nice being able to drink coffee again. While selling his own coffee brand might sound shamelessly self-promoting, I actually buy the mold/ mycotoxin issue with coffee beans. Do you know how long Starbucks beans have been sitting around? And have you noticed how sometimes you feel fucking amazing after a cappuccino, and other times like straight up garbage? Just me then? Cool. Regardless I am pro anything that supports healthy fats and whole foods, and it fills me up so much that I usually don't eat until lunch. I don't like to skip meals but I believe I've effortlessly lost a bit of weight drinking this stuff despite the fact that it's probably the most caloric cup of coffee you can have. But we all know calories are kind of bullshit by this point, no? ALSO it seems to kill sugar cravings and hypoglycemic crashes. And that dirty hippie actress princess Shailene Woodley is into it. If me + Shailene doesn't sell you than GTFO of here.
If you try it let me know how you feel. The book is also worth a read although if he thinks he's going to convince the world to give up cheese and ice cream forever he may be sadly mistaken.
