Long shot probably ,but....

Anyone tried it?

In reply to andymac:

F*cking utterly disgusting and with zero merit

In reply to Graham Booth:
A guy was recommending it to me yesterday .

It's adding the dollop of butter that puts me off.

Anyway, he swears by it. A lot

In reply to andymac:

Give it a whirl....literally made me chuck!!

In reply to Graham Booth:
Guy told me that it's virtually part of the Mongolian mountain diet.

It doesn't sound terribly appealing to me ,I admit.

But he says it has changed his life.

In reply to andymac:

what is it ?

In reply to andymac:


I'm not surprised. Probably along the lines of "f*ck me, that's disgusting..."

I smell large amounts of horseshit.


My apologies: yak shit...

In reply to captain paranoia:

Yes.

There is a whiff.

Think I'll stick to Yorkshire tea

In reply to andymac:




I have some Yorkshire grass-fed snake-oil to put in your tea to enhance neuronal firing. Only £50 for 100ml.

In reply to andymac:


Good call. The whole bulletproof coffee thing is cobblers.

In reply to andymac:

ignore the branding.

Stick a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of mct (or failing that coconut) oil in black coffee in the morning and you are ready to go.

You put it all in and then add the boiling water. Not put it in on top.

Then exercise/get on with your day. I do all my morning swimming and 2hr+ runs and 2hr+ bike rides on it. Works a treat.

In reply to DaveHK:

Brain octane oil? They're having a laugh...

In reply to andymac:

I was very disappointed, a 5.56mm went through it like a hot knife through (unsalted) butter.

In reply to DerwentDiluted:

Seems most unsociable to be letting off rounds at the breakfast table...

In reply to andymac:

I read about it once; that was enough to put me off.

In reply to ClimberEd:

No doubt all the fat is decent energy for excersize but coconut oil in coffee is grim in the extreme. I'd rather have the coffee then eat a tablespoon of coconut oil on its own. Which is weird but not really that grim. I refuse to even entertain trying butter in coffee. And I love butter. I'm fairly sure the list of things it doesn't go with is shorter than most but coffee is surely on it.

In reply to snoop6060:

try it.

In reply to ClimberEd:


Stick a tablespoon of syrup of figs in it and you'll be really ready to go

In reply to ClimberEd:





mct?

The keto diet which bulletproof coffee is part of is far from cobblers. Used as part of that its mighty effective though you don't need to buy all the branded bulletproof stuff.

On top of a carb rich diet it's just going to make you less healthy.

And if you do try it for gods sake blend it up or it will indeed make you hurl.

MCT is medium chain triglyceride oil, essentially coconut oil refined down to some degree of pureness.

In reply to andymac:

Yep although prob a variation on the "proper" one. Pretty good but don't have it regularly although it is filling. I add an egg, vanilla essence and a bit of cocao to the coconut oil/butter for a liquid breakfast. Must be blended else it's disgusting!

In reply to tehmarks:



Normally I'm quite placid, but a bit of coffee pretentiohipster-wankfoonery-brain octane fuel yak milk arseary makes me come over all second amendment.

In reply to DerwentDiluted:

Class.

In reply to captain paranoia:

Does it have be fancy coffee. Or will mellow birds or gold blend do?

In reply to goldmember:

Nescaffe with 2Tbs of Stork. Lovely jubilee

In reply to snoop6060:

This is the stuff you need if you're making ketogenic coffee ... http://www.nutricia.ie/products/view/liquigen

Our kid was on a keto diet for a few years and had this stuff, it's f*cking disgusting!
And your breath will stink of pear drops as well.

In reply to andymac:

Fancy-dancy bulletproof muck. Whats wrong wi mahogany brown Yarksher Tea an lickin't bacon grease outer't pan?

In reply to Clarence:


It makes you write like this?

In reply to goldmember:


I don't know. For all I know, you add whole beans, a tablespoon of rancid yak butter, a tablespoon of pixie gland juice, add boiling water and blend them up.

In reply to DubyaJamesDubya:

medium chain triglycerides

In reply to andymac:

I have to say, I quite like a little butter in my coffee. I tried coconut oil, but shit - only a little. It's not bad, but it's ok.

No idea about this bullshit microtoxins piece.

Also I have it with a massive bowl of carbohydrates daily.

How the hell am I supposed to get 3-6k calories per day if I don't eat until lunchtime. I can't gain weight!

In reply to andymac:

reminds me of Tibetan tea. An aquired taste

i just want to say that
i LoVE CoffeE.........
