Bullet Proof Coffee



Recommended Posts

Prior to VSG I would have Bullet Proof coffee, does anyone still enjoy BP coffee? I thought about adding GENEPRO to get in some of my Protein. I miss the energy and fullness I would get from the coffee. post-306903-14838083188815_thumb.jpg

I've heard the term bullet proof coffee but not really sure what it is.

Sounds like something I need to brush up on.

I learned about it when I was on a low carb diet. I would have this for Breakfast.

I drink bulletproof coffee some of the time, I used to drink it all the time when I was trying to lose prior to the sleeve. I really like Dave Asprey.

I really don't drink it often anymore because all the things I was trying to cure with bulletproof coffee, I cured just losing weight/having the sleeve.

Like one of the big benefits of bulletproof coffee and how it works and benefits you is that it is pure fat and energy. WLS patients needs Protein, so you can't go pure fat. Adding Protein powder to bulletproof coffee defeats the purpose of bulletproof coffee, which is to provide you energy while extending your fast. The whole point of drinking bulletproof coffee in the morning it to extend your overnight fast until the afternoon. Helping people with 16/8 or better fasting. Having coffee with just fat has no effect on blood sugar or most metabolic functions. When you add Protein Powder to it and make it a Protein Drink you are erasing those benefits

Early post-op I think Bulletproof coffee is too many calories and too much fat. I think it would do a real number on someone newly sleeved. MCT Oil goes right through you until you build up a tolerance with a normal GI tract.

I wouldn't add that fictitious crap GENEPRO to anything.

I usually just kick my day off with coffee with heavy whipping cream.

I only use bulletproof coffee now, if I am fat fasting to break a long stall. If I dont get out the 190s pretty soon, I will be doing another fat fast for a few days.

That was so informative thank you for your reply. I hadn't thought about some of the points you made. I am only 3 weeks post op so I will stay away from BP Coffee.

It's coffee with coconut oil or butter added. Astronomical fat content, but supposedly keeps you full and energized for a long time. Not sure how it would fit into a high-Protein diet, but I haven't checked. Also, I've never tried it.

This has been your bulletproof lesson for the day.

Does anyone know if this type of drink would coat the stomach so that one could take pills/vitamins?

I don't like eating in the morning but I have to have something in there or else my Vitamins make me feel sick.

I've been using half of a premier shake for this purpose for about a year and a half. Wouldn't mind changing though.

I keep seeing people say coconut oil, but real Bulletproof coffee uses MCT Oil, not coconut oil. They are not the same thing. Bulletproof coffee requires MCT oil and unsalted grassfed butter, both are needed because both provide different things.

I left a bunch of my Keto and low carb Facebook groups because I was sick of people spreading misinformation about Keto, bulletproof and just nutrition in general.

@@woo woo Keep using your premier shake.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
