I'm glad I don't like it, because I think I'd get a headache from trying to figure out whether it's good or bad for me.
It's really not complicated.
It's coffee + butter + MCT oil. Everyone knows what coffee and butter are.
MCT oil used to be an obscure supplement used almost exclusively in hospitals for patients with health conditions that prevented them from digesting normal dietary fat. There's no research that's shown it has any use otherwise (as in real research, not unfounded claims from the marketing team selling Bulletproof-branded coffee beens, MCT oil, and butter). I like fatty foods and prefer to get my nutrition from food instead of supplements.
I'll take my coffee black, use the butter to fry a couple eggs. Not really all that different but to me more satisfying. If someone else wants put the stick of butter in their coffee or just eat it out of the fridge, it's all the same butter. The supplements obviously can just take however you want to. Stick them in your coffee, take them in capsule form, make a salad dressing out of it, man up and just shotgun it like your grandma's cod liver oil, w/e.
just a clarify, when you say butter it gives people the wrong impression as that is actually not what bulletproof coffee is about. You actually want to use ghee which offers a distinct difference between it and regular butter.

I mean, marketing BS aside you can put whatever you want in your own cup of coffee and nobody really cares. Me, I like to sometimes add cinnamon. It's your cup of coffee. I just put in cinnamon because it tastes good. If you like to make up stories about it giving you mystical dragon punching powers, you do you. I'm not that creative. If you can then get other people to buy into your stories and buy your stuff, hey, my hats off to you.

It seems to be about a high-calorie beverage with few nutrients in excess of the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat. I fail to see the benefits of incorporating this in any diet or how this is relevant to the diet and weight loss forum. If you are trying to lose weight and are limiting yourself to around 1200-1400 calories daily, why would you want to have 500 of those calories be empty calories. My breakfast is not the best, but I at least try to get some vitamins and nutrients in.

Exactly, don't drink your calories, love coffee may or may not have health benefits think the jury is still out on this one, like butter but very much saturated fat in moderation, have milk in my coffee if anything added Protein
Correct....grass fed ghee butter, not butter which implies a stick of Land O’Lakes Butter.
Ghee vs Regular Butter
“Whereas butter contains butterfat, milk solids and water, ghee is pure butterfat cooked longer, until all moisture is removed and the milk solids are caramelized and then filtered out. While butter is not necessarily bad for you, ghee has health benefits that make it healthier than butter.”
Keep in mind ghee is the less important part of bulletproof coffee, MCT oil is most important.

problem here is you're making general statements without clarity and you're sending mixed message on the different things. example coconut oil is not the same as brain octane MCT.
Then again for someone who doesn't sound like they're interested in it you sure send a mixed message with the amount of time spent on this thread.
Just like to call out B.S.
But always ready to except i amy be wrong and science can change, if someone can show me good proof.
It is so much more than a perceived idea that it is just a high calorie beverage with few nutrients. Your missing the concept of bulletproof coffee with that way of thinking.

If I add this coffee with 500 calories to my day, will I lose weight faster? I'm currently eating about 1200 calories a day and losing only about a pound a week.
