Bulletproof® Lifestyle / BP coffee etc...

So I got my bulletproof coffee today from optimoz. There is some weird contraption in a little box. However, the box and instructions are all in Chinese. Any idea what this is?
 
Think that could be the manual hand grinder. Did you order that though?

I think you're right but I can't remember ordering it. Will try my first bulletproof coffee in the morning.

My first bulletproof coffee down. I really liked it. Does it matter how much coffee you use? It said to use two scoop but I only used one and that was strong enough for me.

Do what works for you, everyone is different and it takes a few goes to get it right. Different butters will produce different textures as well. I like mine with either Woolies Homebrand or Western Star Unsalted, cultured butter.

    • Increased focus and alertness

    • Improved cognitive function

    • Enhanced short-term memory retention

    • More ability to ignore distractions

    • No overstimulation
    SMART CAFFEINE™ creates a relaxed yet alert state that is ideal for focusing and thinking clearly.

It's just like having a cup of coffee & green tea in a pill.
L-Theanine is in green tea hence my green tea chaser after my morning BP coffee.
And I feel good for hours.

It would be good before fasting HIIT
 
I added two small eggs from our home raised chooks to my BP coffee this morning.
You wouldn't even noticed the eggs where added.
For some reason I pictured clumps of partly cooked eggs floating around in my cup but no such thing.
Eggs add some amino acids to the morning brew plus some more nutrients!

If eggs are ok in the morning then why am i holding out to midday before eating my HB ones?

There's is some opinions/beliefs from certain so called experts that the amino acids in the eggs may/can spike insulin n break the fast so that's why they recommend to hold off eating eggs til later in the day.
When we 1st wake up the hormone cortisol is high, it breaks down fatty acids for energy use, if eggs do spike insulin & you eat them early morn then cortisol is replaced by insulin & you change from burning fat to storing it.
That role of cortisol upon rising is scientifically proven.
So another benefit of fasting & not eating breakfast is you don't interfere with cortisol , or if you do consume something make sure it doesn't spike insulin so cortisol can still do it's job, that's the beauty of BP coffee!

Re nutrition course, there's a lot of similar courses around that would all have there pros n cons, I'm sure you'd learn something from all of them, Holistic health Coach has some good merits too.
Are you aiming to have a wellness clinic as such one day?

The health industry is a good sector to invest in because it will only keep growing as people do!
There will always be overweight & poor health people around.

So does that mean the protein from the eggs would break the fast? And if so wouldn't it be a good idea to consume just the yolks as they contain all the fat and save the egg whites for later on in the day (not that I have ever separated an egg in my life)?

No because 50% of an eggs protein content is in the yolk & 50% in the white.

Funny because last week I did a 4 day fast with only MCT and green tea, on the third night i thought for something different i would have 30ml MCT before bed (along the lines of the honey trick) worst thing i ever done as i didnt get to sleep until around half 5 and then had to get back up at 6.30

30ml MCT!!! Did you Shart the bed all night!!!
 
Dose anyone experience a stomach like there is a fire burning while drinking BP?

Mine has been doing it a bit lately.
Would it be the MTC, butter or coffee?

That's your metabolism burning fat!

Nah never had stomach issues tbh.

Some people take betaine HCL tabs with there BP coffee to aid digestion n any stomach issues.
Try boiling water instead of metho!
 
My friends and family think I'm ,totally weird drinking this. Actually they probably thought that before but this is confirming their suspicions.
