If you do not like, maybe it feels weird. it is called "Bulletproof Coffee", because in addition to reducing the weight and increase energy, this bulletproof coffee also increases our brain function. Surprisingly, the butter will have this superiority if blended with coffee, not smeared on bread or crackers.
The butter that mixed in coffee is not just ordinary butter and also not just any coffee. The butter must be fresh from dairy cows that fed grass (grass-fed butter) while the coffee bean with low toxins, not the coffee bean that you find in the supermarket or coffee shop.It is Dave Asprey, the creator of Bulletproof Coffee, coffee blended with butter.
He said that the caffeine in coffee normally give you a boost of adrenaline in the beginning, but in a few moments you will eventually feel otherwise. This low toxins coffee made by Bulletproof contains MCT oil, which is a mixture of coconut and palm oil, and has a healthy fat.
" It's about how you feel two hours later," says Asprey. "
"With regular coffee, you will feel tired food craving and two hours later. Bulletproof Coffee does not cause such, it gives you a huge boost compared to normal coffee," he added, as quoted by FoxNews, Tuesday (02/25/2014).
Asprey added MCT oil is digested faster than other fats so that increase energy and accelerate weight loss. "When you mix coffee with butter and low toxin octane oil or MCT oil, the butter will break the desire to eat and give things the brain needs, including micronutrients. This is a prevent inflammation of the brain," he explained.
Actually, the practice of adding the butter in a drink is not a new thing. For generations, people have made the Tibetan yak butter tea. In fact, Asprey itself spawned the idea of mixing the butter in his coffee after trying yak butter tea in Tibet three years ago.
"There is no scientific proof to support the idea that adding butter in the coffee gives an extra energy boost or help you lose weight," says dietician licensed, Tanya Zuckerbrot.
"However, this claim may have some benefits based on what we know about fat and digestion," he added.
Zuckerbrot said, " humans need fat in their diets, partly because it helps the body absorb the nutrients in the food they eat. "We also know that fat slows digestion," he said.
"Therefore, in theory, the butter can slow the absorption of caffeine into the bloodstream. This will result in prolonged energy boost than you might feel if you drink coffee without fat," said the author of Miracle Carb Diet: Make Calories and Fat Disappear this.
However, butter is very high in saturated fat, and some health experts warn that it may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. While this drink will make you feel full, it should be noted that adding two tablespoons of butter in coffee also to make bulletproof coffee will add about 200 calories to the body.
