What is Bulletproof Coffee? – Dr. Berg's Coffee Hack

In this video, I want to give you my bulletproof coffee hack.

What is bulletproof coffee?

Bulletproof coffee is used when doing keto and intermittent fasting to help you go for a longer period of time without eating. This keto coffee helps because it has fat in it.

Bulletproof coffee is composed of:

• Coffee
• Grass-fed butter
• MCT oil

Bulletproof coffee is great for keto beginners because it will allow you to go longer without eating. It will also give you ketones which will help you keto-adapt faster.

How to make bulletproof coffee (with my special hack):

• Coffee
• MCT oil
• Xylitol
• 100% cacao

Benefits of cacao:

• Enhances cognitive function
• Cardiovascular protection
• Helps your blood sugars
• Anti-inflammatory
• Improves mood

What is the difference between cacao and cocoa?

Cacao:

• Is less processed
• It has more phytonutrients
• It has phenylethylamine (improves focus and attention)
• It has anti-inflammatory properties
• It has polyphenols

1 ounce of cacao:

Fat: 11g
Protein: 1g
Carbs: 6g
Fiber: 3g

Cocoa:

• Is more processed

1 ounce of cocoa:

Fat: 35g
Protein: 25g
Carbs: 16g
Fiber: 9g

I recommend 100% cacao for bulletproof coffee on keto. However, you can use other types of non-sugar chocolate as well. You just don’t want to have too much bulletproof coffee at night because it may keep you up.

I'm an OTR truckdriver. I began using a milk frother a year ago to blend coffe/MCT-grass fed ghee/100%Cacao/mushroom powder/allulose with great results. Better memory, even energy, and more alert. Health gurus, in my estimation, are the true healers in the world.

we grow cacao in peru : to produce cocoa powder the beans skip the roasting stage and are 'cold-pressed' in order to extract cacao butter. The remaining solids are then ground into cacao powder

You Dr Berg, you deserve the Nobel prize for your incredible services to Humanity, thank you very much indeed sir, God bless you

[AskAScreenwriter]

I don't use the cacao (I may give it a try, though), but I do add cinnamon, which is supposed to help control blood sugar levels.

I've lost 103 lbs with keto and IF, using coconut oil from my food storage, I've YET to buy MCT oil. * I will however start using LESS coconut oil and adding some cacao to help me lose these last 30 lbs. THANKS for the tips Dr. Berg.

You and your wife are life goals! You look so good together and make a killer team. It's so great to have a partner who has a similar diet as you. It makes life so much easier and happier

Hi Dr Berg, i have worked in a Cacao factory, as a welder.Replacing pipe etc.
Raw cacao beans are dried then roasted.Pulverised into a powder, then heated in a press which extracts the butter.Then later they reintroduce the butter to make the chocolate, with varying percentages of cacao to make the chocolate.
Apologies just thought you needed to know this.

Thank you for making so much of this information available to people for free. You clearly care about helping people feel the best they can which I was I have been taking your advice over the past few days. Biggest and most immediate change came from eliminating added sugars & ALCOHOL. Man, I drink way too much beer.

Dr. Berg, I went to a weight loss Dr. and after telling me how he could help me, he gave me a list of videos to watch for more information. I was so glad to see your name on the list he gave me because I had already started watching your videos. Thank you for your kindness and loyalty to helping us get healthy!

Ditch the artificial sweetener and try this instead. To your basic recipe add good quality unsweetened cocao powder, cinnamon powder, a pinch of cayenne and a little vanilla extract. Adjust amounts to your own taste, but I'd suggest 1/4-1/2tsp of cinnamon and cocoa powder to start, less cayenne. lol Those come with additional benefits. The vanilla gives you the illusion of sweetness in the drink via smell and taste. I try to balance it so it doesn't overwhelm the coffee, but has a slight chai quality.

I have a teaspoon of coconut oil in my morning black coffee on the day when I'm up very early (4am) for work. It helps me get through to lunch time (generally between 12 and 1.30)

[ajohonly]

Quit drinking coffee ☕️ a year ago saved lots of money sleeping well every night 👏🏿

[my-yt-inputs]

I've been using 100% Cacao for months now. Thomas DeLauer got me using that. Instead of MCT oil however I prefer to use coconut oil for the added benefits of Lauric acid(C12) in the coconut oil. I also add a few other ingredients like salt(Redmond Real salt) and Tumeric. And then coconut milk/cream vs heavy whipping cream. No dairy in the morning.
My problem however is it's such a treat for me I probably drink it more than I should. lol

[Simpliyvonne]

I added cacao to my morning coffee today and omg . It was the best cup of coffee I have ever had . It tasted so rich and satisfying . Thank you for sharing this hack!

I'm so lucky he's got a video for everything I've got questions about

I use 14 ounces of good Medium blend Organic coffee with 1-tsp of Organic coconut creme, 1 scoop of Organic Collagen Powder, 1/8th tsp Organic Lions mane mushroom powder and 2 Tsp Organic MCT oil, all blended in my Vita prep 3 on high for 1 minute. This recipe has been modified over the course of a year and a half of being on KETO and losing 40lbs in that time. I'm not hungry after my 2 cups of this coffee, for 4 hours. I do not eat until 2 or 3 in the afternoon...just one meal a day and It is not a big never hungry....I used to eat four or five times a put my body through a lot of stress digesting that much food and most of that food was garbage....I'm 69 now and as they say it is never too late to get healthy....Hope this helps someone....

Dandelion root coffee is a pretty good alternative to standard coffee. It helps to protect the liver, and is meant to help bile function, definitely useful when on a high fat diet! I believe it contains some carbs, however a bit like normal coffee you don't have to use much.

Thank you Dr. Berg for teaching us a healthy life style which is true freedom. A body that doesn't hurt and inflammation kept at bay is a blessing. Thank you for showing us the way. :)
