Bulletproof coffee? Dave Asprey, founder of Al Seib/ Los Angeles Times bulletproof coffee? Bulletproof was inspired by Tibetan butter tea, which was developed by Dave asprey, a former Silicon Valley computer engineer and biohacker. I have been to Nepal and Tibet in 2004 and spent some time at high altitude. He felt very tired and weak when he suffered from mountain sickness, but when he drank buttered tea, he said, "I am refreshed and full of vitality. I am no longer suffering from mountain sickness." I realized that this drink must have some kind of magic. After returning to the United States, he spent several years doing research and applying this brewing method to coffee, which changed his life. At that time, he was vice president of cloud security at Trend Micro. He created the brand bullet-proof coffee, and at the same time disclosed the formula of this coffee and his health benefits on his website and blog, claiming that he lost more than 100 pounds (about 45 kilograms) by replacing dinner with this coffee, and his IQ increased by 20 points, and his biological age was reduced through more efficient sleep.
Tibetan butter tea? Bulletproof coffee is basically a low-toxic coffee. Add 1-2 tablespoons of salt-free feed cream, 1-2 teaspoons of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a digestible fat) or organic coconut oil, and put it in a blender to make it look like a latte. After asprey published this coffee in 2009, it actively promoted this drink through various social networks. It is suggested that you replace breakfast with such a fat-rich drink with more than 460 calories, and promised that this drink will make you feel full. During the prime time of fat burning in the morning, you can effectively lose weight by forbidding the intake of sugar and protein and forcing your body to burn fat as the energy of your body.
Three elements of bulletproof coffee? The celebrity media in Peche, nadia, contributed to this upsurge. Worried that bulletproof coffee tastes a little disgusting? In fact, iron fans who love this kind of coffee say that it tastes no different from a smooth latte. American movie star shailene woodley tweeted about this kind of coffee on 20 13 ("I believe bullet-proof coffee may be one of the greatest inventions of mankind"); Jimmy fallon talks with maya rudolph about the benefits of this coffee in his program; Silicon Valley executives, including Dan Schornik, a partner of Sany Venture Capital, are even addicted to it. Every time you go out, you should bring a full set of coffee equipment (coffee beans, bean grinder, coffee machine, electric milk machine), as well as butter (Sonik will refrigerate one night in advance) and medium-chain triglycerides. "I used to make bulletproof coffee at an altitude of30,000 feet. Sonik said, pointing out that medium-chain triglycerides should be "less than 3 ounces." Sonik even invited asprey to give a speech to 50 executives of Sany Investment Company. " In the past five years, he has had the greatest influence on my life. "Sonik said.

Al Seib/ LA Times disputed that besides bulletproof coffee, asprey also extended this concept to bulletproof diet. He advocates "a diet high in fat and vegetables, moderate in protein, low in toxicity and low in starch", aiming at getting 50-70% of calories from healthy fat, 20% from protein, 20% from vegetables and 5% from vegetables. Although there is an overwhelming trend to follow suit in celebrity fashion circles and folk circles, bulletproof diet has been widely criticized in professional and academic circles. Michael d 'Deist, editor of Mother Nature, described the phenomenon that bulletproof diet gained "solid celebrity worship, rapidly growing followers and a strongly advocated book", and he firmly believed that "this is the biggest dietary trend in 20 15 years". Julia Belluz, editor of the new media Vox, criticized this book about bulletproof diet as "a satirical cartoon of the trend of inferior diet", because bulletproof diet has many arguments without scientific evidence, or many of them are based on research that hides some facts, with the aim of guiding consumers to buy its products. Beruz also pointed out that asprey's statement that changing diet can improve inflammatory symptoms and help to lose weight is wrong, because asprey deliberately ignored some research disputes about the health effects of certain foods, and inappropriately inferred that some studies on animals, a few people or patients with certain special diseases can be applied to all human beings. Dr Walter willett, head of the nutrition department at Harvard Medical School, said: "It also makes people eat a lot of fat, which will increase the harmful cholesterol content. Christopher Gardner, a nutritionist at Stanford University Medical College, said that this method of losing weight with saturated fat is effective for founder asprey, but not necessarily for everyone. Recently, the British Dietetic Association also listed bulletproof diet as an unhealthy diet that is not recommended.
Bulletproof diet vision? Bulletproof biological hackers and the pursuit of a fast lifestyle make bulletproof coffee popular. The success of bulletproof coffee lies in its convenience and quickness. Coffee has a refreshing effect and helps to improve work efficiency. Combined with another trend of losing weight by replacing rice with oil, it is hard to be unpopular in the fast-paced modern society. Another background factor of the popularity of bullet-proof coffee is the so-called "biological hacker", that is, some non-professional and non-academic people use their self-taught biological science knowledge and some professional or self-made instruments and equipment to manage their physiological functions, just like some computer hackers who can crack the server defense line. But the word hacker means not to destroy but to crack, emphasizing that these non-professionals use their own methods to analyze some biological knowledge and principles. Asprey himself is a biological hacker who has taught himself for many years. Coupled with his experience in Tibet, he advocated using butter and various oils as diet recipes to control weight and other functions of the human body, which is a kind of biological hacker. The diffusion of knowledge in the Internet age has blurred the boundaries between professional fields and amateurs. Everyone has the opportunity to become an expert as long as they study hard. As for whether bullet-proof coffee can really help you lose weight, you can only say that you might as well try it, but there is no guarantee that it will be effective for everyone.
