  So what’s the Deal with Butter In Coffee?

Bulletproof, is the cure for your feelings of being foggy, tired and cranky in the mornings and that mid afternoon crash everyone gets with long days. Not only will the coffee keep you energized and moving throughout your day but it will also shave off the pounds and keep you feeling and looking years younger.

Benefits

“Better focus, fewer cravings, and improved metabolism, says Jeffrey Gladd, MD, an integrative doc who’s lost 13 pounds of body fat (and his brain fog) since sipping. Concerned about the saturated fat? “Data from the past several years has largely vindicated it,” says Gladd. “The bigger threats seem to be sugar and refined carbs.” (Even so, those with acid reflux and high blood pressure should probably steer clear.)” – (source: prevention.com)

Don’t be fooled by butter in coffee, it may sound gross or unhealthy but the benefits are extraordinary! I first want to make it clear that you should not fear butter. Not all butters are created equal. In this case you want to use grass-fed butter in your drink. This is because the butter you find in grocery store are normally from cows who are on an unhealthy diet of corn or soy fed, which is not a normal diet for cows. It is used because soy and corn are both cheap and filling. Cows are not meant to digest these foods and it causes them to create milk with bad fats that you don’t want to consume and have in your body.

Grass-fed cows produces the best milk, thus creating the best butter to consume. These are the good fats you can have in your body that will actually help keep you healthy. It regulates your cholesterol, rather than adding to it. Grass-fed butter will even help reduce body fat, due to the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. Conjugated Linoleic Acid also known as CLA is found in grass-fed butter which is found to reduce fat on especially in individuals who are overweight. It is even an excellent source of vitamin A and K2. These healthy fats are important for not only your body but brain as well by creating cell walls and hormones. Even your risk of getting heart disease reduces.

By drinking butter in coffee each morning your body goes into a routine to burn fat all day. It will give you the energy and increase your cognitive functions so you can perform at your fullest potential without a crash. By adding healthy fats from coconut oil this drink is the boost you need for hours. This drink in and of itself will replace your breakfast altogether. Great for individuals on the go and if you find that coffee is just not giving you the energy you’re looking for. This is the recipe you want to try.

When To Drink

To get the most energy out of this drink, you should drink it in the mornings, it’s a great meal replacement to breakfast. Making it great for people on the go. Butter in coffee is a high performance energy drink with essential fats and calories, making it much better than a carbohydrate or sugary breakfast choice like oatmeal and/or cereal. Having it in the mornings will give you the energy to last throughout your busy day at work or at school. With up to 6 hours without the awful crash, that most energy drinks give you.

Don’t Make These Mistakes

  • Be sure to use grass-fed butter, rather than butter found in grocery stores. These butter are from cows that have eaten soy or any other grains that are not meant for a cow to digest. It also does not blend well and will give your drink a not so good taste because it lacks fat soluble vitamins. You also want to stay away from low-fat butter substitute.
  • By not adding oil to your coffee it will just taste ok. To fully gain the high energy, fat loss you’re looking for you want to make sure you add the oil into your drink. It will not only make you feel better and lose weight but it will make your coffee taste better in your mouth
  • Be sure to know that all coffee are not made the same. The wrong type of coffee will make your energy low and cause you to have sugar cravings. The mycotoxins in the coffee are to blame for this.
  • Keep in mind that this drink is only a breakfast meal replacement. Replacing all your meals with this drink is not recommended. You still need to get other essential vitamins and minerals found in other types of foods.
