I want to give you my bulletproof coffee

hack now BOPE of coffee is used when

you’re on keto and doing in a minute

fasting normally people take it in the

morning to allow them to go a longer

period of time without eating because it

has fat in it it’s composed of coffee

grass-fed butter and MCT oil blended up

it tastes pretty good and this is

especially good to do when you start a

keto program because it allows you to go

a longer period of time without eating

and because it has MCT oil in it will

give you more ketones to make this

transition a little faster because

sometimes when you starting keto it

might take three to five days for your

body to start making more and more

ketones but if you’re taking ketones

your brain will get them right away and

you have less of a transition phase as

in less keto fatigue or less brain fog

but the way that I do bulletproof coffee

is slightly different

I do the coffee in CT oil I do add one

packet of xylitol okay

and yes it’s not zero on the glycemic

index it’s thirty so it does influence

the blood sugars a little bit but

because I’m having such a small amount

it’s really insignificant but here’s the

hack I add chocolate to this coffee

mixture but not the chocolate that has

the sugar it is the unsweetened 100%

cacao type chocolate now here’s the

thing because it’s super concentrated I

only add a little square of this in the

coffee chop it up it melts right in

there because cacao enhances the

cognitive function it has cardio

vascular protection it helps your blood

sugars it’s anti-inflammatory Innokin

increase your mood it also has something

called theobromine which is similar to

caffeine cacao also has a very small

amount of caffeine like 0.12 0.7% which

if we compare it to coffee coffee has

like 1.2 percent but this is like 0.12

0.7 percent now what is the difference

between cacao and cocoa let’s talk about

that

okay cacao is less processed and has

more phytonutrients and has more

magnesium or iron and this additional

natural chemical called phenyl ethyl

amine which can improve focus and

attention anti-inflammatory properties

and polyphenols which is a phytonutrient

which can give you additional health

benefits so cacao is less processed and

cocoa is heated okay so it’s more

processed we take a look at the fat in

cacao it’s 11 grams okay cocoa powder

it’s 3.5 grams protein 1 gram cocoa is

2.5 grams carbs 6 grams okay

cocoa powder is 16 grams now I’m talking

about one ounce so if we take a look at

this bar right here it’s 2.3 ounces so

it would be basically we’re talking

about a small section of this that’s why

they’re comparing this so if we’re

talking about the amount of cacao that I

use which is like one section might be

one and a half to maybe 2 grams of carbs

so it’s very very small and of course we

can’t forget about the fiber three grams

versus nine grams right here and I do

recommend using a hundred percent cacao

however you can use other types of non

sugar chocolate as well like Lily’s

brand this one is a forty percent cacao

and it’s sweetened with a wreath root

all and stevia so for me I like the

additional cognitive and nutritional

benefits but realize if you do too much

it could affect your sleep at night

because of this stimulant and this

stimulant right here when you’re adding

MCT oil or grass-fed butter it’s great

to do in the beginning when you’re doing

keto but if you’re trying to lose weight

your body could be using these ketones

more than your own ketones that are

generated from your own fat burning so

in my case I want to get the ketones

from the dietary fat

more than I do from my own fat all right

so go ahead and try this out and tell me

if you like it good morning good morning

can you bring me a cup of coffee you

want your MCT oil and chocolate mm-hmm

do you want the MCT oil and chocolate
