It is a cup of coffee that can keep you energized for hours, eliminate any energy slumps, help you burn fat, help you gain muscles and can help you be a better human.
Bulletproof coffee is actually butter coffee! Seems weird ! A combination of two things that you never thought could go together and that too for fitness benefits. Strange as it may seem, Dave Asprey, the creator of this coffee strongly believes in it.
Dave Asprey invention story:
While trekking in the lush mountains of Tibet, Asprey added butter to his tea. This kept him energized and prevented the energy slumps. Asprey later took the same concept and added it to a cup of coffee. The standard recipe includes adding a tbsp of grass fed butter and two tbsp of medium chain triglyceride oil ( coconut and palm oil). He claimed that this coffee is a super upgradation to normal coffee and can aid in weight loss by preventing energy slumps, lowering food cravings and boosting health. He simply made butter, the new sugar and cream and even popularized his small company of bulletproof coffee, claiming that a high-fat diet can actually lead to weight loss.
It is just a bolt from the blue to the tons of people who had patiently controlled their each saliva breakdown to avoid a spoon of butter. ‘ Poison kills poison and fat kills fat’ , not so strange. Proponents said that this coffee can actually you an energy boost , avoid afternoon crash and can help you stay mentally focused, ignoring the food cravings. Yet skeptics point out the concerns about calories and fats.
The unfairly demonized coffee, butter, and saturated fats, blamed for thousands of health problems, finally got a proponent. The world may be is slowly abandoning the old diet myths and embracing these ill-treated foods again. Here are some of the health benefits of this bulletproof coffee, which made the health conscious people go fanatical.
Health Benefits:
- Fat loss: MCT consumption shows loss of adipose tissue in humans .
- More energy: Studies have shown that fast rate oxidation of medium-chain fatty acids can increase energy expenditure by folds.
- Eat Fat won’t make you fat: As always said, not all fat is bad, choose wisely! Greater energy expenditure with MCFA results in less body weight and less fat deposits.
- Only grass fed butter! : The nutritional value of butter is enhanced if the diet of the cows has fresh grass. It also improves the rheological properties of butter
However, remember, everything in nutrition depends on dosage Just because little bit is healthy,
Proponents and review will surely make you feel to try it once. No harm in trying once. With 2 tbs of butter and nothing else for breakfast. Proponent says you will have best kick-started morning with limitless energy and focus, while the cynic still focuses on the disastrous problem it may cause.
