I am trying to lose some of my spare tire so I am trying ketosis, intermittent fasting and bulletproof coffee. I guess there are different "definitions" of fasting but in the context of dieting, I am wondering if I'm really fasting if I'm getting calories from bulletproof coffee. My original attempt at intermittent fasting was to go water-only fasting (and black coffee, not even sweetener) until dinner time. Today I struggled, my arms were shaking and I was feeling lightheaded, even after bulletproof coffee about 2 hrs earlier so I "broke down" and had some cheese and an avocado for lunch. I've been good until today but I was concerned that the lightheadedness and shakiness was related to hunger or low-blood-sugar (feeling only a little bit better now although it has only been about 30 minutes since lunch).

Hey, guys! I have seen a lot of hype around coffee blended with coconut oil and grass-fed butter and am considering trying it. Has anyone tried it who can attest to its taste and benefits? Have any paleo people successfully made it with ghee? Thanks!

Today is my first attempt at Intermittent Fasting. I'm a regular breakfast eater, so I'm wondering how my body is going to react. I'm mostly paleo, 90/10 I like to think. I've had one cup of coffee with a little bit of coconut oil (read about it on MDA) and am currently sipping on my second. I did my morning workout some HIIT (30s sprint- 60s jog 10X, pre/suceeded by 1ish mile run). I plan on breaking the fast at around 6 this evening, but if I begin to feel woozy I'm going to eat. I'm going to use this thread to keep track of how my body feels throughout the day. Here goes nothing!! (My tummy sort of already has the rumblies :/ ..... )
