What on earth is bullet proof coffee with mct?

I made some and thought it was pretty awful, but I don't even like coffee, so adding some other stuff only made it worse.

Yeah, if one isn't a coffee lover this drink won't be a hit, either. At first I thought it would be nasty stuff,too, (butter in coffee? yuk!). But I found that after mixing warm melted unsalted butter with the hot coffee and mct using an immersion blender was the trick. Just combining the ingredients, even with spoon stirring to combine them, doesn't give the right result b/c all these oils will float on the surface of your coffee and who wants to drink coffee tasting oil first. Sometimes I flavor it with a pinch of ground cardamon. But no matter the extra flavors used it has to be blended at high speed and then it is a completely different drink. [NB: careful using hot liquid in an electric blender, unless you start off very slowly and increase the speed by small amounts.]  

I am on it, and it is a great lifestyle, and I have so much energy, because burning fat gives you energy, vs. taking it.  I am always surprised by another pound, two or three coming of when I weigh myself. and I need to take in my clothes now before they become unwearable, as I am not buying more, since expect to keep losing. The pounds off always surprise to me, since it wasn't hard. 

You can go on Reddit Keto, and find SO MANY before/after pics of people who have lost huge amounts of weight, and you will by shocked by them all, as no one looks tired, drawn and unhealthy, like you always see when people lose a ton of weight. That is what convinced me to try it, after finding keto when searching available diet plans for one that would line up with what my naturopath, of many years, recommends for everyone, everyday (No grains, no nuts, or seeds, plenty of animal based product, and animal fats).  It is a different kind of energy usage, and truly, it's better. 

I combine keto diet with intermittent fasting, which is ideal. I have never been able to fast before, sadly, yet now it's weekly and easy for me, because I am what they call now "fat adapted", and don't crave carbs any more - carbs are what make you food crave! Do you know how many carbs you need for a healthy diet? ZERO. That's right, your body can make carbs and you don't NEED them.

I should say, instead of "easy", that the diet is "easy enough". It still takes regular bits of effort to eat what is right for me (keto) and not just what I feel like. But it is really do-able.  There are so many options to satisfy things I "miss" or feeling having that I think I need to relook and up my lenten give-ups, because I feel I am too satisfied for Lent.

I fast with also bone broth and trusty. tasty bullet-proof coffee. My husband (retired) makes it for me to take to work, and I teach 6 very active classes every day and fasting with these helps makes it easy. In fact, better for me, surely than eating in a rush at school on my grabbed ten minutes like I used to do - it is not healthy to eat when you are rushed. Most days I don't eat til dinner, often 8 at night so then sometimes I just skip altogether - and I never miss it, thanks to keto and being fat adapted. 

I also belong to a farm delivery service where I get bone broth from grass fed animals, (and also their meets) and all manner of raw dairy - plenty of raw cream, butter, ghee, raw cheeses, so, super healthy.

Some say veggies don't matter but i take 2fitdoc's advice and when eating strive for 2 cups of veggies a day. 

I have researched it a lot. I especially like everything on Dr. jason Fung's Diet.doctor.com site, and I like to watch informative, homey brief videos of 2fitdocs on youtube.

You don't' need to have a ton of weight to lose because everyone can benefit from keto. A lot is being said in new research about the benefits of metabolic switching. Keto is one of the very healthy metabolic switches to make with more benefits than balancing out your weight. This different way to metabolize helps people with autism, parkinsons and alzheimers. It does feel like it has sharpened my mind. I never feel "dull" on it.  So I am motivated to keep with it, because I need a sharp and present mind for what I do.

I work 12+ hours days not including commute so I have not had time to cook like I enjoy (but will in these coming weeks as schools shut down) so I keep it simple, but I have a cauliflower mash recipe I make that is to die for when I have time to cut and steam a cauliflower and get the food processor out...  In the beginning, I mae keto cookies, too, when I was so missing carb treats. Before Lent I was treating myself to online-bough keto cookie treats for occasional meal-enders.  Now I am trying to make my meal-ender be a piece of sugarless mint gum, as Dr.Becky advises...

It's bulletproof I think because you can decide to intermittent fast for a day (or two or three!) and that coffee keeps you "bulletproof" on your plan to fast. You sip it through the day in a thermos,  when you might feel like "having" something, or, your energy starts to get a tiny bit low, and a sip or two revives you, satisfies, and you stave off any hunger pangs that might encroach on your goal, and also do away with any possible dizziness or low energy that people can get from fasting.  It keeps you in ketosis, too, which is the goal, so you are stay in fat-burning mode, a good energy state.

No. BULLETPROOF is the name of the company. Search the name for more info. The company invented the coffee drink we are talking about.
