Sure you have consumed calories but you will still burn plenty of body fat. – pure fat has little to no impact on insulin, blood glucose or any of the measurements from a fast that mean you have “broken” the fast. What about the other ingredients add to the black coffee to make a Bulletproof Coffee: OK – so black coffee seems to work very well with an intermittent fast. IF increases the production of AMPK and this study shows that coffee does too – AMPK (Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) – this is an enzyme that inhibits fat storage, promotes fat burning, triggers Autophagy, and activates antioxidant networks in your body. Autophagy (a natural process during which the body breaks down and recycles the junk within our cells, and also gets rid of any intruders) – Like IF studies of mice have shown that coffee does not hamper autophagy – Insulin Sensitivity / Glucose Tolerance (essential for avoiding type 2 Diabetes – like IF (over the long term), coffee has also been shown to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes – Fat Burning – As caffeinated coffee seems to upregulate Ketosis it seems to be a positive for fat burning too (which is the pre-cursor to ketosis). So coffee (the caffeinated kind) also benefits ketosis. Ketosis (where your body uses ketones, instead of glucose, which results from break down of fat and has potential benefits for your brain) – This study shows that caffeine in coffee can also upregulate ketosis. To answer this query – let’s look first at Black Coffee’s effect on each of the key benefits of intermittent fasting (IF). Just to be clear, when I say “Bulletproof Coffee” I’m talking about the coffee + MCT + Ghee/Butter plus other added ingredients. A very common and logical question you may ask yourself is – “How can you be in a fasted state after consuming a “Bulletproof Coffee?” It’s a great question that I’ll address below.
