I used the keto diet to lose about 30lbs last year. Took a break through the holidays because fuck avoiding carbs on Thanksgiving. Just started back up on it this week, been doing bulletproof coffee every morning again.

It's great if you want a lot of fat and some protein in the morning. I actually mix in a bit of vanilla flavored protein powder as well for flavor and protein (adds a little sugar but whatever).

I don't think it's some magical energy drug, that's probably all placebo, get some adderall if you want an upper. But if you've trained your body to consume fat for energy rather than glycogen, bulletproof satiates that for a bit, so it's a nice breakfast replacement.

I lost 90 lbs while increasing my bench press to 3x5 180 lbs doing keto last year (I weighed 360 lbs to start.) I also (kind of by accident/laziness) ended up doing IFT for most of this time so I would only eat from 11:45 AM to 7:45 PM.

I personally found protein shakes or hard boiled eggs to be an easy way to start the day when I did eat breakfast. I have tried the coffee before at cafes and didn't like it, didn't think it was some kind of miracle upper too (compared to say coffee.)
