What the hell is bulletproof coffee?
The origin of bulletproof coffee

Actually, bulletproof coffee has a deep relationship with China.

Dave Asprey, the founder of bullet-proof coffee, a serial entrepreneur in Silicon Valley and a pioneer in cloud computing, said that he went to Tibet, China in 2004 and drank the local buttered tea, and realized the magical effect of buttered tea in refreshing and fighting hunger. After a series of experiments, he developed bulletproof coffee.

Make bulletproof coffee

Bulletproof coffee is very simple to make. Dave asprey changed the tea in buttered tea into black coffee, and chose two more suitable oils-grass-fed butter, coconut oil or MCT oil (that is, medium-chain triglycerides purified from coconut oil), and stirred them with a blender.

Bulletproof coffee tastes slightly greasy and bitter. After drinking it, not only did I not feel hungry, but my spirit also improved. My body was as strong as wearing a bulletproof vest, so I named it "bulletproof".

Can bulletproof coffee really lose weight?

Dave asprey successfully lost weight by drinking bullet-proof coffee for a long time 100 kg. The fat-reducing principle of bulletproof coffee is to promote the human body to enter a short-term ketogenic state with fat consumption as energy.

Compared with a really strict ketogenic diet (related articles will be published in the near future), the advantage of drinking bullet-proof coffee is that it is more convenient and easier to operate, and it is a way for the body to produce ketones quickly. After a night of fasting (fasting), the body's insulin level dropped to a very low state, and the body began to fully burn fat. Using bullet-proof coffee instead of breakfast can keep blood sugar and insulin stable, without interrupting the fasting state, and prolong the time for the body to burn fat efficiently until the next meal. Bullet-proof coffee is a good drink for those who strictly produce ketone, which provides sufficient and high-quality fat source.

However, a cup of 250ml bullet-proof coffee is close to a hamburger. In the case of general diet, the intake of calories is definitely beyond the standard, which is actually gaining weight and will also lead to an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, drinking bullet-proof coffee to lose weight must be in line with a healthy and low-carbon lifestyle.

This case has been completely clarified.

The essence of bulletproof coffee is ketogenic diet, and only one cup of bulletproof coffee has no slimming effect.

Bullet-proof coffee can cheer up the spirit, improve work efficiency and provide satiety, but it is not recommended for people with hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
