When it comes to ketogenic diet, the first term that comes to mind should be "bulletproof coffee".

* before the ketogenic series begins *

Although Bonnie uses a ketogenic diet for a short time and is introduced on the website with the aid of medical research, readers are not encouraged to eat a ketogenic diet without professional guidance. Although I have a medical background, I only know my own physical condition, and readers have no way to know about their past medical history and physical reactions, without a thorough understanding of the possible dangers of a ketogenic diet and a professional assessment. Oh, it's not recommended!

What is bulletproof coffee?

In fact, bulletproof coffee (Bulletproof coffee) has always been controversial, the biggest reason is that the founder of this name is an engineer businessman in Silicon Valley. He successfully found his health with a "bulletproof diet." relying on his own experience and some research results, he founded the "bulletproof" brand and launched many products that boast good quality and high prices.

On the bulletproof website, there is a detailed method for making bulletproof coffee. He suggests using their own brand of coffee beans, beans from a single farm at high altitude, NT $600 for half a pound, and a bottle of Guisongsong's own brand of "brain octane oil." and grass-fed cream or equally expensive butter.

Although the ketogenic founders promoted such "bulletproof coffee", most people on a ketogenic diet would drink an improved version of bulletproof coffee, adding cream, coconut oil, whipped cream and other different oils to the coffee. in fact, such an inexpensive version of bulletproof coffee can also achieve the effect.

What does bulletproof coffee have to do with a ketogenic diet?

Ketogenic diets are often accompanied by intermittent fasting (see here for reasons and diet plans). Bulletproof coffee, which contains almost only fat and no protein and carbohydrates, can inhibit hunger by regulating "growth hormone". Prolong the duration of intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fasting can speed up the body's ketoacid state, while the medium-chain fatty acids in food can be easily broken down to form ketones, which can also help produce ketones. In short, bulletproof coffee is a means to achieve intermittent fasting, drink a cup instead of a meal, continue the effect of fasting.

Bonnie, why am I drinking bulletproof coffee?

The most primitive reason is because of my coffee addiction (laughter). Since entering the clinic, I need a cup of coffee every day to start my day. Just smelling the smell of coffee makes me happy.

And the root cause of my coffee addiction is one of my former cardiology teachers, who is also a person who has a cup of coffee a day. He takes our whole group of students to buy coffee several times in class. I think that when students are so happy, XD, in addition to people with heart disease, should worry about the load of coffee on the heart, and people with a bad stomach should pay attention to the stimulation of coffee to the stomach, as long as they do not add sugar and cream and do not drink too much. Coffee is actually a good drink!

What are the powerful effects of coffee?

V antioxidation: may improve cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and other diseases

V reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, and some studies can even reduce the risk by 30% to 70%!

The results of various studies on the effect of v on the heart are different, but it is certain that as long as you drink the right amount of coffee, it will not have a negative effect.

V Anti-cancer: confirm the effect of reducing the risk of endometrial cancer and liver cancer. The results of breast cancer and colorectal cancer are not so consistent, but some studies have even found that the risk of cancer is 70% less!

Although these studies seemed amazing and inspiring, the subjects who drank coffee drank three to seven cups a day, in very large quantities. So when I drink it, I don't expect it to have any magical effect, it's just a pick-me-up, and of course I drink my own XD.

After I started drinking bulletproof coffee, I like it very much and decided to continue to drink it like this! The bulletproof coffee made by myself doesn't give me a stomachache and can help me stop eating. My blood sugar is stable until lunch, and it doesn't take much time to make it. I used to have the habit of eating breakfast, but it was easy to get hungry. I often had a second breakfast at ten o'clock in the morning.

In the past, I often had a stomachache after drinking coffee, so I chose to drink lattes with milk or coffee Mistol, but later I found that the weight was difficult to control. After investigation, I found that the lattes sold outside and the milk used often contain high amounts of sugars, so there is a way to be more fragrant. The home-made bulletproof coffee with cream and oil is a bit like a latte, which is more palatable than simple black coffee, so considering that the blood sugar is stable and tastes smooth, the bulletproof coffee, which has been maintained for three weeks, feels very suitable for you.

I have a stomachache. Is it suitable for bulletproof coffee?

My own stomach has not been very good, but also because of overeating, after gastroscopy found that there is a gastroesophageal reflux problem.

In the past few years of coffee addiction, I most often report to Starbucks in the hospital, often drinking to the level of gold card for a month. After a long time, found that how is the same black coffee, sometimes stomachache recurrence, sometimes not? Although I had this question in mind, I didn't find the answer until recently when I was preparing to make bulletproof coffee.

Deep roasted coffee beans stimulate less gastric acid secretion than medium roasted beans.

In the United States, there is a study to analyze the composition of deep-baked beans and medium-baked beans, and to analyze the responses of subjects to the two kinds of beans to see how their stomach acid secretion is different. There are more N-MP, less C5HT, CGA and trigonelline in deep-baked beans, and caffeine content is similar, causing less gastric acid secretion.

N-MP has been shown to inhibit gastric acid secretion at the cellular level, so the current evidence appears to be that deep-roasted coffee beans are milder to the stomach than medium-roasted or light-roasted beans. I already prefer the rich flavor of deep baked beans, and this study makes me more convinced that I want to continue to love deep baked beans XD.

But then again, if readers have tried their own deep-baked coffee and still have a stomachache or burning in their chest, I don't recommend bulletproof coffee at all. Like the central idea of being a doctor, we should first seek "no harm". Safety should be given priority in carrying out these diets. if you feel unwell, you must first consult a professional doctor. after all, everyone's physical condition is different. if blood sugar is not well controlled, hypoglycemia is very dangerous, so don't force it.

How do I make my bulletproof coffee?

Coffee machine, coffee beans (buy my favorite coffee shop Tiger), unsalted cream, MCT oil, very lazy directly add hot coffee to the oil, stir and drink it, which is very time-saving and convenient:)

Is there anything that can replace bulletproof coffee?

Does it matter if you can't drink bulletproof coffee? It doesn't matter at all! The most popular alternative is to drink bulletproof cocoa, which is similar to bulletproof coffee. Use 100% sugar-free cocoa powder to brew, add oil, and then add some sugar substitutes depending on your preference. Just think it tastes great XD.

In the United States, you can buy a lot of caffeine capsules, oil capsules, etc., for people who can't drink coffee, or people who are afraid of oil smell, but I don't think these things need to be eaten specially. They are mainly based on fresh food.
