This kind of publicity has made countless people become its fans, and in recent years it has become a drink for the late internet celebrities. Getting up early with a bullet-proof coffee has become a standard for many people with brain holes, and many stars are their supporters.
So, what is this bullet-proof coffee "coffee"?
Bulletproof coffee:
Bulletproof coffee was born in Silicon Valley by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dave asp Lei Faming. It is an energy-rich coffee drink, which is made of black coffee, one or two spoonfuls of grass-fed butter, one or two spoonfuls of coconut oil or MCT oil (that is, medium-chain triglycerides purified from coconut oil) and stirred by a blender. Simply put, coffee and oil are mixed together to drink, which requires high quality of several ingredients. Why is it bulletproof? According to Dave, it will be named bulletproof coffee, because after drinking it, not only will I not feel hungry, but my spirit will become very good and my body will be as strong as wearing a bulletproof vest.
The Source of Bulletproof Coffee: Tibet Buttered Tea
Dave Asprey, the founder of bullet-proof coffee, said that he went to Tibet to drink the local buttered tea many years ago, and he realized the magical effect of buttered tea in refreshing the spirit and fighting hunger. He went back and created bulletproof coffee through a series of experiments. In fact, tea leaves are replaced by coffee beans, and two suitable oils are selected. The basic principle is the same.
Because nomadic people are different from agricultural people, nomadic people have no grain cultivation and lack of carbohydrates, so they attach great importance to the utilization of fat and have superb fat refining technology. The cold north and plateau are moving around, so it is necessary to use high energy and high fat to satisfy hunger and keep out the cold. For example, the Germans in northern Europe are very good at refining cheese.
After Dave Asprey developed bullet-proof coffee, he vigorously promoted its "magical effect"-fighting hunger, providing energy, refreshing, and also having great weight loss effect. He said that his friend lost 75 Jin in 75 days, which is equivalent to one Jin a day. This is also the reason why bulletproof coffee attracts people to try. Bullet-proof official website once pushed such a slogan: lose at most one catty a day.
So what is the weight loss principle of bulletproof coffee?
In fact, bullet-proof coffee essentially adopts the idea of ketone production.
The core fat-reducing principle of bulletproof coffee is to promote the short-term ketogenic state of human body with fat consumption as energy. Compared with the really strict ketogenic diet (75% fatty acid, 20% protein, 5% carbohydrate), it is more convenient and easy to operate, and it is a method to make the body 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 burn fat fully. If you use bullet-proof coffee instead of breakfast, you can keep blood sugar and insulin almost stable, without interrupting the fasting state, and extend the time for your body to burn fat efficiently until the next meal. This is why bulletproof coffee can double the effect of ketogenic fat reduction.
Ketogenic diet is high in fat, low in water and moderate in protein. It maintains blood sugar stability through a low-carbon water diet, reduces the consumption of insulin and glycogen, and the liver converts fat into ketone bodies, making the main energy supply mode of the body change from glucose to fat. Simply put, it is to use the Bug of your body's metabolism to make your body mistakenly think that you are in hunger mode and start using fat instead of glucose as fuel.
Ketogenic diet was originally used to treat epilepsy in children, not to lose weight. Under normal circumstances, the human body mainly relies on carbohydrates, protein and fat to maintain various functions of life, and carbohydrates exist as staple food because of their large intake ratio. Generally speaking, carbohydrates will be converted into glucose after being absorbed by the human body and transported to all parts of the body to supply energy, especially to maintain brain operation. However, if only a small amount of carbohydrates are consumed in the ketogenic diet, the human body will convert its energy source into fat-the liver will convert fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies, and ketone bodies will be transported to the brain to replace glucose and become an energy source.
Can bulletproof coffee really lose weight?
Bullet-proof coffee is almost a must-have drink for those who strictly produce ketone, which provides sufficient and high-quality fat source for those who produce ketone. But it is difficult to lose weight just by drinking a bullet-proof coffee in the morning and eating carbohydrates normally at noon and evening. If you don't produce ketone when you drink bulletproof coffee, then your calorie intake must exceed the standard. In fact, you are gaining weight. Most people will lose weight after drinking bulletproof coffee, because they will more or less restrain themselves from reducing their carbohydrate intake.
Drinking only one bullet-proof coffee in the morning is actually to avoid eating other foods, which will affect the conversion of medium-chain fatty acids into ketone bodies and reach a slightly ketogenic state in the morning. But this slight ketogenic state is actually useless. If you eat a little carbohydrate at noon and at night, your body will recover.
Fasting, putting an end to a certain kind of food, and eating only a certain kind of food will also cause malnutrition, which is not good for your health. In our diet structure, every food has its function, and the body has all-round needs for various nutrients. The premise of health is balance.

When do you drink bulletproof coffee?
Breakfast meal replacement
Before breakfast, everyone's energy consumption comes from the decomposition of their own fat, that is, they are in the "fat burning mode", but if you eat a breakfast with high sugar and high carbon water, the sharp rise of blood sugar after meals will immediately interrupt your "fat burning mode" and your body will turn to the "energy storage mode" for storing fat.
Bulletproof coffee contains no carbohydrates and sugar, but it is rich in protein and fat. It can be used as a meal replacement for breakfast and can drive the body to be in fat burning mode for a long time.
Fat and protein need to be digested in the body for a long time, which can provide the body with more lasting and stable energy, thus making you feel fuller and more energetic all morning.
Benefits:
1. Improve work efficiency
The reason why bulletproof coffee can improve work efficiency;
① Drink bullet-proof coffee alone to keep blood sugar and insulin stable;
② The medium-chain fatty acids contained in coconut oil /MCT oil are absorbed by the human body and converted into ketone bodies, which provide energy for the brain and improve attention;
Caffeine contained in coffee itself stimulates the central nervous system and plays an exciting role.
2. Quickly supply energy to provide the body with a lasting satiety.
After being digested and absorbed by human intestine, MCT medium-chain fatty acids can directly enter the liver through portal vein circulation, and undergo oxidation reaction to generate energy instead of hoarding it. In addition, it will be rapidly metabolized in the human body to produce ketones, which is another energy source of brain cells besides glucose. Other studies have found that medium-chain fatty acids help to suppress appetite, generate energy and maintain a lasting satiety.
Disadvantages:
Because bulletproof coffee has a high fat content, some people are not suitable for drinking bulletproof coffee.
Diabetes: The cause of diabetes is very complicated. If you choose rashly, the risk of ketoacidosis will be higher than that of ordinary people, even fatal. For the sake of safety, it is strongly recommended that diabetic patients discuss with doctors and nutritionists before changing their eating habits, and then make their own eating strategies according to their own different situations.
Patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia: Patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia have high cholesterol content in their blood. If they eat too much fat, it is likely to aggravate their condition. Ketogenic diet is not recommended. Patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia: Patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia have high cholesterol content in their blood. If they eat too much fat, it is likely to aggravate their condition. Ketogenic diet is not recommended.
Pregnant women and developing teenagers and children: pregnant women and developing teenagers and children need a lot of balanced nutrition and are not recommended.
abstract
The essential idea of bulletproof coffee is ketogenic diet, and low-carbon water and high fat are the core. Only one bullet-proof coffee has no slimming effect.
Bullet-proof coffee can improve work efficiency and provide satiety for the body, but it is not recommended for patients with diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
