Have you ever heard of butter coffee? Is butter coffee, made famous by the “Silicon Valley Diet,” really effective for weight loss?
What is butter coffee?
Also known as “perfect coffee.”
A book titled “The Silicon Valley Way: The Most Powerful Meal to Transform Yourself” was published in 2015.
According to the author, drinking this “perfect coffee” “revived his brain and freed him from food cravings,” and he began to succeed in all areas of his life.
Just drink it for breakfast!
All you have to do is drink a perfectly good butter coffee as breakfast! The basic idea is that you can expect the fasting effect of skipping breakfast and the efficient energy-burning effect of high-quality ingredients such as butter and MCT oil.
Aim of Morning Fasting
The aim of “morning fasting” is to skip breakfast, rest the internal organs, and effectively eliminate toxins from the body, leading to weight loss.
In fact, you will not be hungry, and it is delicious and easy to do. It is one of the least stressful ways to lose weight.
How to make Butter Coffee
(1) Brew coffee
Coffee is brewed. Coffee oil is also extracted through a metal filter.
(2) Add butter and MCT oil
Add grass-fed butter and MCT oil. Do not add sugar or milk.
Coffee with good quality unsalted butter instead of grass-fed butter and coconut oil instead of MCT oil, which author Aspley calls simple “butter coffee,” is still fine.
(3) Agitation
Give it a good stir with a blender and voila! Now all you have to do is drink this “instead of breakfast”.
Yes, just add butter & MCT oil to your coffee and stir! That’s it! It’s so easy to make this perfect coffee. You can even make it in your sleep.
4 points of butter coffee
(1) Good coffee with low mold toxicity
Coffee ground from the bean!
Good coffee is better for you because what you ingest into your body is better for you.
(2) Grass-fed butter
It is a grass-fed butter.
(3) MCT Oil
It is an oil composed mainly of “medium-chain fatty acids,” a naturally occurring component found in the kernel of the seeds of coconut, palm fruit, and other palm plants.
(4) Stir thoroughly.
Stirring well makes it easier for the body to take in. You will be surprised at how creamy and milky the coffee tastes!
How much grass-fed butter?
So, how much grass-fed butter should be added to make perfect coffee?
1.5 tablespoons of butter per 2 cups of coffee
The Silicon Valley Diet says, “No more than 2 tablespoons for 2 cups of coffee. One cup of coffee is approximately 150 ml, and one tablespoon is 15 grams.
In my search for articles on the Internet, I found that many people use 1.5 tablespoons per 2 cups of coffee, which is about 20 grams.
What is grass-fed butter anyway?
The difference between common butter and grass-fed butter is the feed the cows eat. While most butter is made from milk of cows that eat grain, grass-fed butter is made from milk of cows raised exclusively on grass.
Most of them are imported, often from New Zealand or France, but they are five to six times more expensive than regular butter!
Although the high price is surprising, grass-fed butter is a healthy butter preferred by health-conscious people because it contains many good ingredients such as protein and unsaturated fatty acids that are not produced by the human body.
Compared to regular butter, its richness is weaker. Grass-fed butter can be used to create a light flavor. However, it has a strong buttery flavor, so it can be properly used in many dishes.
You can find many kinds of butter on the internet. I buy 1kg and keep it in the fridge, but since it is butter, I never run out of it, and I think you can’t go wrong with this good quality butter!
In my case, I buy “Westgold”, which is the most cost-effective and comes in 1 kg quantities, and it has the best reviews on both Amazon and Rakuten! ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
What is MCT oil?
MCT oil converts to ketones for energy.
This MCT oil, which is 100% medium-chain fatty acids, is quickly converted into ketones in the body, providing powerful energy. It is characterized by a variety of energizing properties, such as being able to work energetically, think faster, and feel less drowsy.
MCT oil can cause stomach pains.
However, in my case, if I consume a large amount of MCT oil, directly or on an empty stomach, it makes my stomach hurt to the point of churning. It makes me break out in a cold sweat.
I have heard that it depends on one’s constitution, but when ketones, which are produced in the liver when MCT oil is ingested, increase excessively, it causes stomach pains and nausea.
The excessive increase of ketones in the body is called “ketoacidosis,” and the blood becomes acidic due to the excessive increase of ketones in the blood as well. As a result, some people experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and queasiness, so care should be taken when taking this product to see if it is compatible with your body type.
MCT oil by itself costs about 2,000 yen per bottle. Since the ratings do not vary that much from product to product, we recommend this one, which has the lowest price per gram. (It also won a prize in the Rakuten diet food ranking category!)↓

If you have trouble finding MCT oil and butter by itself, there are also butter coffee set products for perfect coffee.

Stirring must be done properly.
MCT oil in small quantities.
It is tempting to consume a lot of MCT oil, which becomes ketones and burns for energy, but taking it all at once can cause nausea, queasiness, and stomach pain. Take it in small amounts. How about starting with half a teaspoon? Be careful in the morning, as you may be hungry.
Not to be taken on a very empty stomach.
If you are very hungry, for example, if you have not eaten much the night before and have not eaten in the morning, your stomach is empty and therefore susceptible to the effects. We recommend that you consume it while taking care of your stomach.
If on an empty stomach, with butter or milk.
Butter or milk can be added to form a membrane to protect the stomach while ingesting.
Agitate like crazy.
It is important to melt the butter and oil added to the coffee, not just mix them together. This is because when butter and oil are melted, they break down into micelles, which convert fat into energy. Micelles are also produced by bile, but the more micelles, the more fat can be used. In other words, blending butter with coffee helps the body use fat as an energy source. If you rip off the butter wrapper, nibble on it like a Snickers, and drink your coffee, the result will not be the same.
The most powerful meal to change yourself, Silicon Valley style
As the book says, stirring is VERY important! Without proper stirring, you may drink the MCT oil directly, causing stomach pain.
Also, if you take too much, your intestines will not be able to fully break down the MCT oil, causing sudden stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, etc. Just make sure you put in the right amount and stir it properly before drinking!
For stirring! Blender Recommendation
I suggest a 100-yr old blender! Both are the same in effect, so get the 100s you like. They run on batteries.
Daiso (100-yen) hand mixer
Celia’s mini creamer
Cappuccino milk former from Candu
There are other brand-name formers and blenders, but I think this one is sufficient for stirring butter coffee every morning. I use a Daiso cappuccino mixer.

Butter Coffee Experience Later in the Day
Don’t just focus on losing weight.
The first thing I want to tell you is that there is no such thing as an amazing diet that will make you lose weight. The advertised weight loss is often due to illness or a temporary physical breakdown. This is often the result of an illness or a temporary breakdown of the body, and is not recommended because it is easy to rebound and your body will be shattered.
Balanced and healthy
Diet is an overall balance. Your body cannot stay healthy if you skip breakfast and then eat a big meal at night, if you don’t exercise enough, or if you don’t consume enough nutrients.
Good quality oil relieves constipation.
So, it’s hard to generalize.
・It’s delicious!
・It clears my head and gets the job done!
・Easy!
・I’m not hungry!
I definitely feel these four things. Furthermore, I feel that my body is running well when I consume good quality oil. I no longer get constipated. The oil also functions as a lubricant. I guess everyone’s diet effect is different, but anyway, my body feels great, so I’d recommend Laika!
