Several people asked me how I prepare my morning coffees. It's difficult to answer. Depending on where I was in my diet, they were different. The way I drink my morning coffee now, I don't think I would of enjoyed in the beginning. So instead of sharing one, I'm sharing all 3 versions. Morning Proof Coffee - Pre Keto Ingredients 1 c cold brewed coffee 1/2 c Unsweetened Almond Milk 1 tbsp Stevia Blend Directions Combine everything into a glass and mix until blended.  Notes None Morning Proof Coffee - Keto Light Ingredients 1 c cold brewed coffee 1/2 c Milk (2% or Vit D) 1/2 tbsp Stevia Blend Directions Combine everything into a glass and mix until blended.  Notes The reason I reduce my Stevia Blend is because milk contains lactose, a sugar.  Morning Proof Coffee - Full Keto Ingredients 1 c cold brewed coffee 2 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream 1/4 tbsp Stevia Blend 1/4 tbsp Pink Himalayan Salt Directio...

Last month I was doing an amazing job on keto. I lowered my weekly average of carbohydrates from the first month. I raised fat up to where my protein level was and eventually surpassed it It was a great time and I could tell it was working for me. Little did I know what was going to happen in month 3. Month 3 For month 3, I decided to trust fat more. I did that by keeping carbohydrates around 20. Limiting protein to around 70g. And relying on fat to get me through the rest. I soon realized I was going to need to supplement fat so I decided to do this with Bullet Proofing Coffee and Tea In the beginning, it was a rocky start. I wasn't so sure I could pull this off. My first Bullet Proofing ended up a failure. I wrote about it here. But I didn't give up As a result, I now have two recipes Morning Proof Coffee   Office Proof Coffee   I also have some interesting pictures to share.  Statistics ...

Week 9 I thought I was bought in but I swear there’s levels like onions I keep peeling off. But that means I’m progressing which excites me. It’s a rabbit hole of adventure and wonder. I just explored the surface! BPC Week 9 is focusing on the Bullet Proof Coffee and Teas. I’m excited to try them. One month ago, I was swearing them off. My perception keeps flipping upside down. So many prejudices I’m not even aware of, daily, get illuminated. I’m glad I’m seeing them so I can work on them. I’m also discovering things which don’t work. Bulletproofing Cold Coffee isn’t the best idea. Neither is Multivitamins on an empty stomach . At least not for me. YMMV. MFP Like I explained in my expectations , I changed up my macros. 5% Carbs 80% Fat 15% Protein The real average was 8% C / 76% F / 16% P Here is my weekly summary Scale My weight is still going down. I’m not trying to cut anymore. ...

My wife and I were chatting last night about BulletProof Coffee (BPC). I've known about BPC for a while now but it wasn't something that interested me. At least not until I reworked my nutrition strategy for week 8 - 10. I realized my existing strategy wasn't feasible. I needed fat supplementation. Bring on oily coffee. Good Idea BPC For those who don't know. BPC is coffee with grass fed butter or ghee and coconut or mct oil. Yes. You read that right. Butter and Oil. Buttery, Oily Coffee. Guess what. It's a Good Idea! I liked adding a grind of Pink Himalayan Salt (PHS) and a tiny amount of Erythritol Stevia Blend (ESB) to mine. Bad Idea BPCBC BulletProof Cold Brewed Coffee 1 tbsp Kerrygold 1 tbsp Coconut Oil 1 grind PHS 1 squirt (ESB) 1 cup >cold brewed< coffee The things about saturated fat is they solidify in cold temperatures. The fat turned into a thousand tiny coffee f...
