In recent years, a bullet-proof coffee diet originated from Tibetan buttered tea has become popular-adding coconut oil and other well-absorbed medium-chain fatty acids and unsalted cream to coffee and mixing them evenly according to the ratio of 1: 1: 1-It is said that drinking this coffee has a good effect and can reduce fat quickly; But some people hold a wait-and-see attitude; What is the principle of bulletproof coffee diet?
?
Use fat instead of glucose as energy source.
?
Generally, glucose is consumed first to provide human energy, followed by oil, and finally protein. Therefore, burning fat is very difficult. The calorie of coffee is very small, and the oil in bullet-proof coffee, especially the easily absorbed medium-chain fatty acids, is easily absorbed to replace glucose as the energy source of the body. This is the design principle of bullet-proof coffee.
?
Some people may ask, if you eat carbohydrates in the future (which will be broken down into sugars such as glucose), won't it be a disaster? Yes, bullet-proof coffee diet will only work if it is combined with the whole diet plan; People who adopt this method should try to eat less foods containing carbohydrates, so as to force the body to burn fat and produce the effect of ketogenic diet. In fact, after drinking bulletproof coffee, it is best not to eat again within 5 or 6 hours, and try to maintain a high-fat and low-sugar diet in daily life, which has the best effect.
?
The so-called "ketone" is a ketone body substance (another decomposition product is fatty acid) after fat is decomposed by liver, and ketone body will replace glucose as energy source. Bullet-proof coffee diet relies on ketogenic diet, which was originally used to relieve epileptic symptoms and was later cited as a weight loss method. When the diet of reducing carbohydrate intake lasts for a period of time, the body will consume fat quickly after entering the ketone body energy supply state.
?
May cause bad breath.
?
For example, bullet-proof coffee diet, using fat instead of sugar to provide energy source, can really lose weight efficiently in a short time; But in the long run, unless we can persistently reduce the intake of carbohydrates, the effect is not much different from a balanced diet. In addition, high-fat diet is easy to cause hyperlipidemia, heart disease, constipation, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms; But gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation can be improved by eating vegetables.
?
It is worth noting that when the body just enters the ketogenic state, it may have bad breath and fatigue, which is one of the reasons why some people can't stick to the ketogenic diet.
?
Much like Ah Kin's diet.
?
Ketogenic diet is very similar to the "similar diet" popular more than ten years ago. Meat food provides energy instead of carbohydrates, but its sugar restriction standard is different. Akin's diet hopes that the intake of carbohydrates accounts for 20% of all food intake, and the diet of bulletproof coffee hopes to be around 10%, which is relatively strict.
