The guy that came up with this has already been proven a fraud. Bulletproof coffee is nothing but a sales pitch. The guy claims the coffee and butter turns your body into a calorie burning machine and makes your brain work at optimal levels....DOES this sound plausible?
I'm inclined to agree with this post. Putting butter on anything to shed fat is completely contradictory. It's the natural antioxidants and caffeine that already exists in coffee which is helping you shed fat. If anything the butter is holding you back from making more progress. I drink black coffee. One or two cups in the morning with my breakfast and maybe one cup after my workout to keep my metabolism going high. Ultimately, though, hitting the cardio hard in the gym is the best way to burn fat. And the more you do it, the better your body becomes at burning it.
Now some people made read this and think, "I drink coffee everyday, why aren't I losing weight?" Well I would answer that with another question like are you adding any creamer, milk, sugar, sweetener, in with your coffee? If so, then that is what is holding you back. All that extra sugar that our bodies don't need is stored as fat for later. That's why I hate how everything in the food industry is "low-calorie", "low-fat", or "non-fat", but there just isn't enough emphasis on cutting down sugar. Why is that? Same with anything else, it's about the bottom line. Because sugar gets you addicted, and keeps you buying that product. Our brain patterns respond the same to sugar intake in the body in the same way it responds to cocaine. You really want to cut up? Then cut the sugar out of your diet as much as possible. This is waaaay easier said than done considering there's sugar in literally every product you buy at the supermarket. For example, store-bought milk as about 12-14 grams of sugar for every serving. ONE can of soda can easily have double that amount.
Other ways to boost metabolism which will also help to shed fat would be to drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning. This is a tough one, but taking a 5 minute cold shower in the morning dramatically increases your metabolism.
