Bulletproof coffee is a low-toxic coffee. Low-mold coffee beans are mixed with 1-2 tablespoons of salt-free grass-fed butter (butter made from milk fed with grass instead of corn or wheat husk, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins) and 1-2 teaspoons of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a digestible medium-chain fatty acid, which can be directly transported to the liver after being absorbed, and then can be efficiently decomposed into ketone bodies to provide energy for the brain) or organic cold-pressed coconut oil (rich in MCT oil), and put into a blender, so as to make it into a product like soda.

3. What is the relationship between bulletproof coffee and ketogenic diet?

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. So far, there is not enough scientific data to support the slimming mechanism of ketogenesis, but the theoretical guesses are mainly these points: controlling appetite, promoting fat decomposition, heat loss of gluconeogenesis, ketone body loss excreted by urine and breath, reducing calorie intake opportunities, reducing body moisture and so on.

Therefore, if you drink bulletproof coffee for the purpose of slimming, the principle is ketogenic diet; It doesn't matter if you just satisfy your taste or refresh your mind and don't use it for slimming. It can be regarded as a high-fat refreshing drink.

4. Is bulletproof coffee harmful to health?

Bullet-proof coffee, as a representative and organic part of ketogenic diet, has been controversial since it came out.

The key word of slimming bulletproof coffee is actually ketogenic diet, which was first used to treat children's epilepsy, not slimming. 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. When the content of ketone bodies in blood reaches a certain level, ketosis will occur.

Due to the sudden change of metabolic pattern, the internal organs will be unaccustomed, resulting in a lot of discomfort. We usually call it ketoinfluenza-it's not really the flu, just because it has many flu-like symptoms. Possible symptoms include: craving for sweets or starch, frequent urination, fatigue, dizziness, hypoglycemia, constipation, diarrhea, weakness, trembling, leg cramps at night, insomnia, palpitation, rapid heartbeat and hair loss. These symptoms look really terrible, but they are actually temporary. As long as countermeasures are taken, 1-3 months will return to normal.

If you simply drink bulletproof coffee and don't eat ketogenic diet, these problems will not exist. High-quality oil can not only provide enough energy, but also directly provide energy for the brain to ensure clear thinking and energetic study and work.

5. Can bulletproof coffee really lose weight?

Yes! The principle of reducing fat behind bulletproof coffee is low-carbon ketogenesis.

But bulletproof coffee for breakfast and normal carbohydrates at noon and night may make it difficult to lose weight.

First of all, this is not the characteristic of ketogenic diet. Eating only one low-carbon meal in the morning can't achieve the purpose of ketogenesis, so it is impossible to analyze whether this practice will lead to weight change from the perspective of ketogenic diet.

If you don't want to use the extreme method of ketogenesis, you can also consider eating carbohydrate foods with low glycemic index as much as possible and giving up processed foods. This has a more positive effect on reducing fat.
