Bulletproof coffee is a hot ticket item these days, but you might now know that it was the precursor of the Bulletproof Diet. Bulletproof coffee is coffee made with special beans, butter or ghee (clarified butter), AND coconut oil or MCT oil.

Dave Asprey created the Bulletproof Diet. He was a successful IT guy who weighed 300 pounds at his heaviest. He delved into researching diets to find one that would enable him to lose the weight and keep it off.

Prior to his extensive search for a new diet plan, he had tried consuming less calories and working out a lot. However, his weight didnt decrease.

But then he lost 100 pounds on his newly created diet after experimenting with different food combinations.

For example, Asprey discovered yak butter tea on a trip to Tibet. That tea changed his life and the lives of millions of others when he conceived of the idea to add butter and coconut oil to coffee.

The Bulletproof Diets premise is to consume 50 to 60% of your daily calories from HEALTHY fat. The Atkins and keto diets arent as specific about choosing protein sources with healthy fat.

Coconut oil, avocado, and meat from grass-fed and/or pastured animals are Bulletproof approved. Vegetables comprise 20 to 30% of your diet on the Bulletproof Diet.

The Bulletproof Diet is a cyclical keto diet. That means its designed to correct some of the keto diet flaws.

For example, keto diets that forbid starchy veggies can cause constipation, loss of vitamins and minerals, and kidney stones.

On the Bulletproof Diet, for five or six days a week, you eat fat and not many carbs (75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs).

One or two days a week are carb re-feed days. On re-feed days, you can have sweet potato, squash, and white rice. Its a free pass to enjoy some nutritious carbs.

How To Get Started On The Bulletproof Diet

1) Stop Eating Sugar

Ouch! Fruit juices, sports drinks, sauces, salad dressing, honey, maple syrup, and agave are banned.

Sugar is as addictive as heroin, so if you start kicking the habit and using Bulletproof sweeteners, youll be on your way to a smooth weight loss experience.

You are allowed to eat raw honey, monk fruit extract, stevia, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol (those three are sugar alcohols), xylitol, erythritol, and MitoSweet.

2) Replace Sugar With Healthy Fats 

Grass-fed butter, ghee, Brain Octane Oil (a Bulletproof product), avocado, coconut butter, and olive oil are supposed to curb cravings and energize you.

3) Choose Grass-Fed Meat & Wild-Caught Seafood

Factory farm animals are full of antibiotics and toxins. Pastured food, on the other hand, is clean. One of the focuses of the Bulletproof Diet is finding pure sources of food.

4) No Grains Or Gluten

Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye, corn, oats, barley, and some cereal grains. Asprey says gluten causes gut inflammation and other bad things.

Theres conflicting research on gluten being harmful but if youre on the Bulletproof Diet, its on the no-no list.

5) No Synthetic Additives, Colorings, Or Flavorings

Thats a good one! While some of the Bulletproof rules may be debatable to some, avoiding artificial additives, coloring, and flavors is a great idea.

The Bulletproof Diet recommends staying away from aspartame, MSG, dyes, artificial flavorings, and natural flavors that sound innocent but may not be.

6) No Legumes

This is an example of losing nutrients because of a diet rule. Asprey says peanuts, beans, and lentils cause inflammation.

If you cant live without nutritious beans, youll be happy to know about the bean loophole. He recommends cooking them yourself if you must have them.

7) No Processed, Homogenized, Or Pasteurized Dairy

Asprey wants you to leave casein and lactose in your past because they can cause digestive issues and inflammation.

He says its because the churning process removes the buttermilk from the butterfat. But dont despair. If you NEED dairy, you can have full-fat, raw dairy from grass-fed cows.

8) Only Eat Organic Fruits & Vegetables

You dont need the insecticides and herbicides found on many non-organic fruits and vegetables. Your body will thank you for not ingesting them.

9) Cook Gently Or Not At All

Smoking, frying, and grilling can damage proteins in meat and produce carcinogens. That doesnt bode well for barbeques or French fries.

Slow cooking under 320 degrees is your best bet. No microwaves and no frying are allowed because high-heat cooking methods alter the chemicals in your food.

10) Only Eat 1-2 Servings Of Fruit Daily

Bulletproof-approved fruits include berries, peaches, lemons, limes, honeydew melon, oranges, grapefruits, and avocados. Asprey doesnt want you overdosing on fructose, which is why the limit is 1-2 servings per day.

So Can The Bulletproof Diet Actually Help You Lose Weight?

The short answer? Yes.

I mean, of COURSE youll lose weight if you follow it strictly, because its depriving you of all the typical things that cause weight gain. (Just like paleo and many other diets.)

There are problems with these diets if you live a busy lifestyle though, as so many of us do.

After all youre not going to carry a tub of coconut oil around with you everywhere you go, right?

You dont have the time. Or the energy.

And at the end of the day, you often end up reaching for whatevers most convenient in your fridge… (even if it isnt always the healthiest option).

But you know what IS easy?

Making a small change. Something simple. Not eating like a rabbit for months on end until you practically turn into Bugs Bunny.

Research shows its tiny adjustments to the lifestyle you already lead, and NOT a drastic shift in your diet, that lead to true long-term weight loss and health improvements.

For example?

These 3 minor changes to your everyday habits that can have a MAJOR impact on how fast (or how slow) you lose weight.

Theyre as easy as flicking a switch, or simply opening your fridge…

And in fact, many people find they lose weight the fastest when they make these things part of their nighttime routine

Since one of them in particular can help supercharge your metabolism while you sleep!
