Burn Fat Fast With This Keto Bulletproof Coffee Recipe!
What is Bulletproof?
Bulletproof Coffee is no ordinary morning cup o’ joe. It’s considered a high-performance drink that has a massive impact on your energy and cognitive function. Bulletproof coffee combines coffee, brain octane oil, and grass fed butter as a substitute for breakfast and fans of the drink claim this buttery cup of caffeinated goodness promotes ketosis, or fat burning, in the body. Who doesn’t want to start their day in fat burning mode?!
Substituting Bulletproof Coffee for breakfast
Starting your day with carb-heavy foods such as cereal, granola, oatmeal or fruit will spike your blood sugar. This will give you a quick burst of energy to get out the door, but by mid-morning, your blood sugar will drop and you’ll be tired and hungry.
On the other hand, those who start their day with Bulletproof Coffee claim the opposite, citing suppressed appetite, lasting energy and greater focus.
Suppressed hunger - Brain Octane Oil balances the hunger hormones in your body (ghrelin and CCK), keeping you full through the morning hours and up to lunchtime. Don’t believe it? You can read more about the science behind how Bulletproof Coffee suppresses your appetite here.
Long lasting energy - The saturated fat in grass-fed ghee butter slows the absorption of caffeine giving you a consistent flow of energy for several hours as opposed to a short caffeine spike and crash.
Mental clarity - Brain Octane MCT Oil rapidly converts to ketones, a type of molecule that your brain uses more efficiently than carbs or sugar. When you pair these ketones on top of the slow caffeine absorption caused by the ghee butter, this equates to a brain that is consistently firing on all cylinders and producing your best work of the day. Generally, the MCT oil in bulletproof coffee will give you more energy as well as a clear and focused mind
What is ketosis?
Typically, the body converts carbohydrates into energy before using and burning fat. When there are not enough carbs available, the body turns to it’s fat stores as a source of energy, producing ketones.
Ketogenic diets are low in carbs and high in fat. Bulletproof Coffee fits into a keto diet because the fat from the grass fed butter helps to promote fat burning being that there is no carb consumption. In addition, the body converts the MCT oil into ketones, helping switch the body to burning fat instead of sugar for energy.
