#2Kiiiinda misleading title. I too am a fan of bulletproof coffee, but don't see it as an alternative to soy lent which is a food replacement.
This would have been more interesting had you added nutrients and protein to your version of bp coffee.

#3I don't really understand how this is an 'alternative' to soylent.
Re: Bulletproof Coffee
#4In what sense is Bulletproof Coffee remotely an alternative to soylent? I'm not even going to touch the major problems with Dave Asprey's claims, especially regarding mycotoxins.
But this seems like an extremely bait-y headline. There's no new content here - just a restating of Asprey's claims, plus the word "soylent".

#5The man who "invented" this can be found here:

If this doesn't convince you I don't know what will: Can you really lose 100 pounds without using exercise, upgrade your IQ by more than 12 points, and stay healthy by sleeping less than 5 hours? It took more than 15 years and $300,000 to learn how to reach the Bulletproof® state of high performance. And it’s all here on the blog for you.
Notice he thinks he's got a registered trademark on the word Bulletproof.
Do we really need more crapily to none researched dietary fads on HN?

I've read into Dave's stuff a bit, and it sounds like mostly bs to me, but I have heard good things about bulletproof coffee, though it's all been anecdotal.
Do you really feel better drinking it, or is it just a nice way to get quick, easy calories in the morning without any insulin spike from carbs?
Re: Bulletproof Coffee
#7Completely misleading title. This is at best a "breakfast hack" of sorts. It definitely is a cool concept and introduces interesting ideas, but it surely is not a food replacement or alternative to soylent.
Re: Bulletproof Coffee
#8Bulletproof coffee is a great breakfast (and snack) for anybody on a high fat diet like keto or Atkins. This is because while on these diets, your body has put itself in a state where it can more easily convert fat to energy. However, people on a regular high carb diet will not be able to make the most of all that fat and will just be hungry and tired after an hour.
Don't get me wrong, I think most people need more good fat in their diet. But if you're on a "regular" diet, the fat needs to be a supplement, not a replacement.

It's not a perfect 1:1 replacement as you can't just drink Bulletproof Coffee to get all your nutrients. But, start your day with a cup of it to boost nutrition, focus, and satiety. Follow with a normal lunch and dinner.

#10Or, you can make an actual simple Soylent alternative and do what I do:
- 8 oz Silk unsweetened original coconut milk
- 2 scoops (servings) of powdered Slimfast
- 1 Nature's Way Alive! Women's Multivitamin
- 8-10g (about 1 tbsp) of Potassium Gluconate*
Add protein at another meal and some omega-3 capsules and you're set. I hate to reduce my extensive research down to such a simple formula, but that's what I've done for a while now and it works great.
