1-Page Summary of The Bulletproof Diet

Big Idea #1: Put butter in your coffee to unlock its health benefits.

Coffee is great. I love it. The taste, the smell, and the effects are amazing. If you also like coffee, then you’ll really enjoy this diet that Dave invented after a lot of experimentation with his own eating habits. It involves adding butter to your coffee every day for optimal results.

The recipe for Bulletproof coffee is really simple. First, brew a cup of coffee. Next, add 1-2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter and 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil to it in your blender. Mix the ingredients together until they’re frothy, just like you would with a latte or cappuccino. The result will be 3 times more antioxidants in your coffee (because fat increases polyphenol absorption), as well as reduced inflammation from both caffeine and butyric acid found in the butter.

Coffee can help you lose weight by increasing your insulin sensitivity. This prevents diabetes and obesity, because it puts the body into a state of ketosis, where fat is burned instead of sugar for energy.

Dave was able to raise his ketone levels from 0.1 to 0.7 within 30 minutes with a Bulletproof coffee even though he had sushi the night before, which usually prevents ketosis. This shows how effective this drink is at raising ketone levels and getting people into ketosis in just one month.

In addition, Bulletproof coffee keeps you full for hours on end. This is great if you want to get a lot of work done in the morning and afternoon.

Big Idea #2: Short-chained, saturated fats are the best source of energy. They will keep you focused and thin.

It’s great to be in ketosis, because it allows you to eat lots of fat without overeating. This is a good way to get energy and lose weight.

More importantly, the right kinds of fat are critical for your brain to function, such as omega-3 fatty acids.

Fat is an important part of the myelin sheath, which protects your neural pathways and helps them transmit messages faster. Fat also makes up about 70%-85% of the dry mass in myelin. In general, short-chain fatty acids are good for you because they’re anti-inflammatory and stable with less oxygen to cause oxidation that causes inflammation. So, eating foods high in saturated fats will help you stay healthier, have more energy and think faster!

Big Idea #3: Get your protein from pastured and grass-fed meat and eggs.

A simple way to get more healthy fats and protein is to switch all of your meat to grass-fed, pastured sources. This will help you increase the quality of both fat and protein in your diet. Grass-fed meat has higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins than grain fed animals do. You can tell how well raised an animal was by looking at its fat color and egg yolks – a rich yellow color means it’s full of nutrients.

There are other sources of protein besides grass-fed beef and pastured eggs. Some examples include wild fish, like haddock, anchovies and sardines; lamb; and even poultry (like chicken or turkey).

I’m wary of all diets because I believe that variety is the spice of life, and that no one way of eating will last forever. However, my experience with this diet has been positive so far. In the end, becoming bulletproof means weaving your own Kevlar vest, so I encourage you to try some parts of The Bulletproof Diet to see what works for you.

I’m not a doctor or nutritionist, so this isn’t medical advice.
