Butter In My Coffee

We were at Bone Fish prior to Memorial Day and my niece, Ryan, mentioned that after the holiday she was going two weeks with no sugar. I'm always down for a "no sugar" challenge. The day after Memorial Day we began our journey. Each day we would send a list of what we ate for the day. It was Day 3 that she included bulletproof coffee. It was a "needle going across the record" moment, well for those in my age group anyway. Lol. I immediately asked what bulletproof coffee was and I Googled some information. 

Hmmmmm....

If I could describe it in my words, that I received from the internet, it's a power drink that gives you energy and curbs your appetite. June 2 was the first day that I had it and around 3 p.m. I wanted to text Ryan about the benefit of bulletproof coffee. A still voice says, "Arlinda,  it's nearly two and you have not thought about food." Oh...

I followed a simple recipe online. 

8 ounce cup of coffee

2 TBS of Kerry Gold Grass Fed Butter

1 TB of Coconut oil 

Sweetener to taste

After I make the coffee I simply mix it all in the blender. 

I thought life was grand until Ry and Stephanie introduced me to Keto Coffee. Now, I didn't have to blend if I didn't want to I could simply add 6 - 8 ounces of water. Look at God. Though I still like to blend my warm power drinks because they are fun and I feel all domestic and stuff.

I'm drinking this for nearly a month only to realize that the way of eating that I have incorporated is called intermittent fasting. I mean really? I've been fasting most of the summer and didn't even know it. It was a super cool moment to realize that. 

If anyone has doubts about my journey I simply say, "You have to find what works for you. This works for me." I am perfectly fine making keto coffee and shopping for Himalayan salt, Erythritol, whipping cream, and other items to create my keto fat bombs. 

I began this journey on June 2. Today I'm down 28lbs. I tell my family that I'm in my happy place. Their response, "Go ahead and be great." 

Shall I proceed. Yes, indeed.
