The concept of bullet-proof coffee was first born in Silicon Valley and was put forward by Dave Asprey, a former cloud computing engineer. He claimed that he lost 100 kilograms (about 90 kilograms) and improved his IQ by 20 points through this coffee meal replacement method. In fact, the original road of bullet-proof coffee still has a lot to do with China. During a trip to Tibet in 2004, asprey found that butter tea can help local people to be energetic and even resist altitude sickness. Since then, he has devoted himself to research and development for many years, just to find a coffee formula comparable to butter tea. In 2009, asprey published this recipe on his blog and named it "Bulletproof Coffee". He used his own case to recommend that everyone give up breakfast and drink this coffee with more than 460 calories and full of fat.
The formula of bulletproof coffee is actually very simple. Only black coffee, salt-free forage butter and MCT oil or organic coconut oil containing medium-chain triglyceride oil can be made by stirring. The method is simple, but the function is really powerful! The reason why bulletproof coffee is named "bulletproof" can probably be understood as preventing obesity like bulletproof. In other words, if you drink it, you can stop bullets, which is invincible in the world. It can not only greatly improve your spirit and attention, but also give you good energy. Secondly, bullet-proof coffee can help the body to produce ketones quickly, so as to achieve the purpose of slimming!
Although ketogenic diet has a series of technical terms that make laymen feel headache, the theory that can support weight loss is simply translated as follows: extremely low carbohydrate (sugar) intake makes the body consume fat first to lose weight, and a large amount of oil plays an anti-hunger role here. This is why bulletproof coffee and ketogenic diet can make us lose weight!
Then a friend will ask, why should coconut oil be put in bulletproof coffee? On the one hand, the essence of bulletproof coffee is ketogenic diet, and the core of ketogenic diet is to greatly increase the intake of high-quality fat. Coconut oil is a very high-quality coconut oil, which contains 90% unsaturated fatty acids, but the unsaturated fatty acid in coconut oil is lauric acid. Perhaps many pregnant mothers are very familiar with lauric acid because it is a very important fat component in breast milk. First of all, lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid, which is not easily absorbed by the human body and accumulates into fat. On the other hand, lauric acid has good antioxidant and bactericidal ability, so coconut oil is definitely different from the edible oil we eat every day!
On the other hand, we absolutely refuse to add milk and sugar to bulletproof coffee. Some coconut oil will also add butter, which will greatly reduce the taste of bulletproof coffee, so it is difficult for you to stick to bulletproof coffee. So we added coconut oil, which not only ensured the function of bulletproof coffee, but also increased the taste of bulletproof coffee. Coconut oil smells like a very pure and sweet coconut ~ you can feel the delicious taste of coconut oil if you taste it carefully. This can also help us make up for the discomfort of not eating sugar in the ketogenic diet, and achieve the effect of looking at plums and quenching thirst!
Making your own bulletproof coffee is actually very simple, but it is very important to choose coconut oil. I usually use domestic coconut oil-island story coconut oil. This coconut oil is pure without impurities, and the quality of coconut oil is also very good. It will not break the ketogenic diet at all, which makes me feel at ease!
