Three years after co-founding Fitocracy, we launched a new online coaching service to start bringing in money. We needed a way to hook people in, but no one seemed interested. It didn’t make sense. The sales email I was sending technically ticked all the right boxes: it was well-positioned, engaging, and clearly priced—the exact formula I had been taught in Wharton Marketing 101.

Another reminder of why it hurts to read the comments in a fitness/nutrition article. Some people really do treat their chosen diet and activity as religion (I had a friend who went hard core into paleo as the One True Diet. Coincidentally, he happened to love bacon and hated chocolate).
I liked the article itself quite a bit, especially the bit about throwing in studies that no one will read. It's a similar message to one of my favourite fitness writers (who was actually quoted in this article). You can usually tell solid fitness/nutrition advice because it's pretty boring, especially compared to the gimmicks people have learned to expect. |

Well, as you quoted, the commenter actually did say tea - until fairly recently, coffee was not a likely drink in Tibet.
But moving on, I wonder about the purpose. Of course it would add calories for people who can probably well use all the calories they can get. I would also think it would help the tea stay hot longer, since the fats would float on top and prevent evaporation. Any other ideas? |

Flavor? I've never tried it in coffee or tea, but butter is generally delicious.

Especially if you have grown up with having your tea that way, it would be a comfort food.
