My Experience with Bulletproof Coffee During Intermittent Fasting

Bulletproof coffee has become popular among people practicing intermittent fasting and low-carb diets.

I started using it while trying to make my morning fasting routine more manageable. At that time, my biggest challenge was not the diet itself, but maintaining consistency.

For me, bulletproof coffee was not a strategy for fast results, but a tool to make my routine easier to follow.

1. Why I Started Drinking It

When I first began intermittent fasting, skipping breakfast felt more difficult than expected.

Even when I wasn’t truly hungry, the habit of eating in the morning made fasting feel uncomfortable.

I wanted something that could help me stay focused without completely disrupting my routine. That’s when I decided to try bulletproof coffee.

2. How I Prepare It

  • 200–300ml black coffee
  • 1 teaspoon MCT oil (start small)
  • 10–15g unsalted butter

I blend everything until it becomes smooth and creamy, similar to a latte.

Starting with a small amount of MCT oil was important to avoid discomfort.

3. What I Noticed

  • Morning hunger became easier to manage
  • Improved focus during fasting hours
  • More stable morning energy
  • Less distraction from food thoughts

The changes were gradual, but they made my routine feel smoother and more consistent.

4. Mistakes I Made

  • Using too much MCT oil too quickly

At first, I assumed more would be better, but it caused mild digestive discomfort.

Reducing the amount and increasing gradually worked much better.

5. How It Fits Into My Routine

Bulletproof coffee did not replace intermittent fasting—it supported it.

It helped bridge the gap between waking up and my first meal, making the fasting window feel more manageable.

Bulletproof coffee contains calories and may technically interrupt a strict fast. In my case, I treated it as a structured part of my routine rather than a zero-calorie fasting drink.

6. Important Notes

  • It contains calories and should not be treated as a casual drink
  • Start with small amounts of MCT oil
  • Adjust based on your body's response
  • Use it intentionally, not continuously

7. Final Thoughts

Bulletproof coffee was not a magic solution, but it helped me stay consistent with intermittent fasting.

Consistency matters more than strict perfection

The biggest benefit was not rapid change, but making my morning routine easier to maintain.

In the end, what matters most is not the specific method, but whether it fits into your daily lifestyle.

Why You Stop Thinking About Food After a Week of Fasting

Why You Stop Thinking About Food After a Week of Fasting Why Food Thoughts Often Fade After the First Week When I first started fasting, food was constantly on my mind. Breakfast foods in the morning, snacks in the afternoon, dessert at night. It felt like I was thinking about food all day. What surprised me was that after about a week, the constant food thoughts started fading. I was still hungry sometimes. I still enjoyed food. But the mental noise around eating felt quieter. For me, fasting became less about “trying not to eat” and more about following a routine. So why does this happen? 1. Insulin patterns may become more stable One reason people report fewer cravings after several days of fasting is that eating patterns often become more consistent. If you were previously snacking frequently or eating throughout the day, reducing eating windows may create more predictable meal timing. For some people, this can feel like: Fewer random cravings Less ur...

Healthy Fats in Keto and Fasting: Olive Oil, Perilla Oil, and Whether a Spoon a Day Is Really Good for You As more people adopt keto diets and intermittent fasting, adding oils like olive oil or perilla oil has become a common habit. Many believe that taking a spoonful of oil every day automatically improves health. However, the reality is more nuanced. Healthy fats are important—but how and when you use them matters more than simply adding more. 1. Why Healthy Fats Matter in Keto In a ketogenic diet, fat serves as the primary energy source instead of carbohydrates. In this context, fat is not just an addition—it becomes essential fuel. Provides sustained energy Supports hormone function Helps control hunger and improve satiety That said, increasing fat intake blindly is not the goal. The quality and quantity of fat both play important roles. 2. Olive Oil vs. Perilla Oil Olive Oil Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and is widely associated with he...

Fake Hunger vs. Real Hunger: 3 Signs to Tell the Difference

Fake Hunger vs. Real Hunger: 3 Signs to Tell the Difference Fake Hunger vs. Real Hunger: 3 Signs to Tell the Difference Many people quit intermittent fasting because they believe they are constantly hungry. In reality, much of that hunger can be emotional, habitual, or triggered by routine rather than a true need for food. In my last post, I shared how intermittent fasting often becomes noticeably easier after about a week as your body adapts and you start recognizing what “real hunger” feels like. If you are currently navigating those initial days, you might find my Fasting Results Timeline (Day 1–14) helpful for tracking what to expect. However, even after adjusting to a fasting routine, there are still moments when a sudden wave of hunger appears out of nowhere — especially late at night when comfort-food cravings feel difficult to ignore. The truth is that much of the hunger we experience during these moments is not always physical hunger. Instead, ...
