Bulletproof coffee + slow sugar reduction

I hesitated for a long time about whether to implement a reduced-sugar diet and bulletproof coffee.

At first, I was worried that coffee would make me overexcited. After all, I had heart palpitations and wheezing when the weather was hot in recent years, so I lay in bed for a whole year last year.

(traditional Chinese medicine said that the heart was weak, so it was unable to fight, and it also caused high blood pressure. finally, after discussion with the doctor, psychiatric drugs were used to control the blood pressure together with traditional Chinese medicine, and then the blood pressure stabilized.) the conditioning has been slightly improved this year, but in fact, the work efficiency still can't be pulled up.

At first, I wanted to practice low sugar because I read the following two books:

Why are there no pressure on first-class talents?

If you eat like this from the age of 30, if you have a good metabolism, it is not difficult to lose weight.

It was found that the low-sugar diet has become the mainstream.

In the first book, I was skeptical because he confused starch sugar with sweet sugar. After looking closely, I found that many modern diseases were related to starch. In the absence of enough samples and experimental investigations, I was skeptical.

(because when it comes to depression, metabolic syndrome and polycystic syndrome are all caused by starch, I 😪😪😪 all of these things.)

The second book does give a lot of examples of life, which are easy to implement (and easy to be poked). I probably drank too much water and my body couldn't metabolize & the problem of eating too much starch.

I went around on the Internet to read the records of many people's works (especially my favorite writer also drank it, and said that my spirit would change so well that I was fascinated by 😛)

After a little calculation of the difficulty and price of tools and equipment, after I hesitated for more than a month, my friend of Silver Express suddenly gave him half a pound of coffee beans.

This half pound of coffee beans is like timely rain to me. It's like going down the steps. I soon bought equipment and other things, and I asked the little angel to buy the cream for me.

When I first put it into practice, I thought that if I was not used to drinking or giving up halfway, the oil could be used to cook, and the cream could also be used to bake cookies, so I wouldn't be afraid of wasting the whole thing.

It should be a blender that is more wasteful to buy. After all, there are already medium and large ones at home, but the amount of coffee made each time is really small, and it is not convenient for me to play with the big one & I can't control the portion well.

So in the end, I bought a smaller blender and deliberately picked two kettles to take with me, but the kettle was still too big for me, orz.

Bought a small pot / filter cup group with thermos / two cups of portable blender, and coffee filter paper. Coconut oil was also bought in pchome24H. I chose a small package of 150g virgin. After all, I was really afraid of giving up halfway (the total price was less than two thousand yuan).

The tiny pot is a super beautiful 💓.

After the event, I seriously felt that I only need to buy a filter cup & a small pot and filter paper, because the filter cup can be washed directly on top of the mug at home. I usually finish my bulletproof coffee by the way, and rarely leave a pot of heat preservation, so the thermal insulation pot under my filter cup group is actually a waste of orz (I want to buy another filter cup).

Portable blender also does not need to buy two cups, because usually after playing will be poured into another cup, the dosage is not so much as to need two cups, unless you usually have the habit of drinking juice, it can be a bulletproof cup of fruit, but anyway, this one is very cheap, so even

For the cream part, there are many kinds of opinions on the Internet. Some people say that they want certain brands of oil, while others say that coconut oil should choose MCT oil and so on. They are all very expensive orz.

Finally, I asked my friend to buy Anjia for me. On the one hand, I don't have to go around any bakery (we don't know where the bakery is). On the other hand, it is cheap and affordable.

Proportionally, I basically make a cup of coffee, without fine calculation of the total amount), add a piece of cream (scraped with a cream knife) + two tablespoons (flat tablespoons) of coconut oil, and add it together until it foams.

After beating well, it tastes like milky coffee, and sometimes the milky taste covers the flavor of the coffee. In fact, the effect of oil is very good without a lot of oil.

-- Day 1mura

On the first day, because I didn't know that the coffee powder had been ground, I ran downstairs itching after receiving the material and made a cup of Seattle filter-hanging coffee I bought before, then beat it with cream and coconut oil. It was super delicious.

(of course, some people say that drinking filter-hanging style is uncomfortable, but I think it may depend on my physique, because I am usually a person who can drink any kind of coffee, so I can drink it with my hands or Italian style, that is, soluble coffee is also OK, but instant coffee can't be used as bulletproof.)

I drank at about one o'clock in the morning (I had a nap for about five hours before that), and I woke up all the way to eight o'clock the next night. I was awake and focused, and I didn't have any symptoms of discomfort, and I was in good physical condition.

After I really woke up, I realized that I really didn't plan a lot of things before, and I kept procrastinating on what I was going to do, only to find that it was due to lack of concentration that I couldn't do it.

-- Day 2muri

The next day I used ground coffee beans as fast as silver. On this day, because two cups were washed together, it turned out to be a bit of a failure. I was not very good at proportion, so I collapsed orz.

On the first day, I took psychiatric medicine before going to bed. I had to wake up with a hangover for two hours every time I took it, but maybe it was because of bulletproof coffee. When I woke up, I was completely awake and had no hangover. I didn't have the stamina of medicine, and the two felt that they didn't interfere with each other (laughter).

On this day, when the couple were cooped up downstairs watching documentaries, they accidentally got heatstroke because of the hot weather. Orz

So this day is basically between a little dizzy & concentration is OK, but because a little irritable, feel uncomfortable, and then took enough medicine to sleep at six o'clock in the evening

-- Day 3+Day 4muri

After getting used to drinking bulletproof coffee for a few days, I began to pair it with reduced sugar & sugar.

(I didn't skip breakfast completely at the beginning, because I have a history of duodenal ulcer-chronic gastritis, so my stomach is actually very fragile. I still need something to cushion my stomach, but I slowly reduce my portions and try not to cause physical pressure.)

Ketogenic diet requires precise control of the amount of starch, which is very difficult for me, whether it is counting starch grams or completely banning and then how to backfill, and so on, it is very complicated for me, and I am worried about my health. So I always don't like extreme dietary policies.

Because it is usually a starch-controlled relationship, it is particularly uncomfortable on the third to fourth day, and there will be a feeling of craving for coffee or eating more starch, and a little excited and restless.

The point is that I was hit in the face by my own bad physical strength, XD.

Deeply realize what is meant by good spirit does not mean good physical strength

My impatience makes me improve a little every time. I just forget the pain. It's easy to want to do a lot of things in one breath and finally my body can't hold up (three times from the palm and mouth.

So in the past two days, after I could not suppress my restlessness by taking psychiatric medicine, I began to look for articles about withdrawal symptoms. After all, starch and sugar are addictive. The more refined the food, the higher the ratio of starch to sugar.

I once read a book about addiction, in which it was mentioned that the discomfort during withdrawal is actually due to discomfort due to eating, not because of not eating.

But because abstinence leads to physical discomfort, most people may have an intuitive reaction: if you don't eat, you should go back to normal eating. < < as a result, it becomes a vicious circle, and in the end, you can't quit at all.

In short, these days is to slowly reduce the amount of starch, such as eating only half of the lunchtime meal (split with silver) to avoid bread, deliberately eating slowly (or eating a fiber ingot in advance to increase satiety)

Even if you want to have a drink, the one that was originally finished within two or three hours will be extended to half a day or six or seven hours.

When you feel as if you are unhappy without a drink or without water, it is regarded as a withdrawal reaction (as a matter of fact)

Anyway, I don't know how long this will last, but obesity is not caused in a day, and I don't get fat because I eat a lot of food (eating is the state of ordinary people, but I have a preference for starch), so the adjustment is adjusted slowly.

Although I have all kinds of irritability these days due to reduced starch and sugar intake, even psychiatric drugs can't be suppressed (because it's more certain that it's a physical reaction rather than an autonomic nervous problem). Anyway, I'll try to get through it.

Finally, bulletproof coffee can be refreshing.

If you need a high degree of concentration in your work and life, try bulletproof coffee

People who are afraid of getting fat or usually don't eat much starch, remember to control the amount of fat so as not to gain more weight because of the increase in total intake. If you want to lose weight, you must match it with low sugar + low sugar.

Basically, my approach above is to refer to these two articles:

(other bits and pieces are not included.)

Bulletproof coffee and bulletproof diet made me lose 20 kilograms in 90 days.

My three-month ketogenic experience

In addition, the low-sugar diet or ketogenic therapy is more extreme, which requires actuarial, control, and may also need to cooperate with the doctor. I think this part is not easy for ordinary people to implement, except for the following article. The above three months with Xingsheng ketone this article also mentioned some, you can refer to

You can refer to this article: what is ketogenic diet, why don't I like him, do you have any suggestions if you really want to eat ketogenic diet, and is there any better way besides ketogenic diet?

But to tell you the truth, if you want to lose weight or have a good metabolism, you just eat less and move more. It is inevitable to metabolize more slowly as you get older. If you want nothing to change and just eat something to achieve weight loss, it will also have its defects and side effects.

So you can think about it carefully.

# bulletproof Coffee Day 17

To sum up: d

On the first day, I was wide awake and concentrated all day long. I felt that the fried chicken was good. It was almost necessary to go to heaven, and I was very full. Only then did I realize that I was usually so not awake.

From the second to the fourth day, due to reducing sugar during the day (for example, eating half of lunchtime meals, or avoiding processed foods, and eating fiber ingots to increase satiety), the moisture content of drinking was slightly controlled. I was very anxious these days. It's like a drug addiction attack, shaking and worrying about all kinds of discomfort (including one day because it's too hot, heatstroke, even more uncomfortable) super craving for starch.

After the fifth day, the appetite stabilizes, basically to drink bulletproof in the morning (just for the first ten days I work and rest in the morning, and wake up between 5: 00 and 6: 00 in the morning) have lunch at noon and have dinner in the evening (depending on convenience, occasionally eat instant noodles or microwave food but not bread)

By the end of the week, the weight had gone from 118 to 116.

I still work and rest in the morning in the first half of the second week, and my autonomic nerves smoke again in the second half, so that sometimes I sleep until noon and sometimes until seven or eight o'clock. If I wake up at noon and drink bulletproof coffee, it will be very painful. On the one hand, it is because of muggy and uncomfortable body. even if I drink bulletproof, I will still feel dizzy, and I am particularly hungry. I may want to eat at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

A few days is to drink bulletproof at 11:00, eat lunch at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and then go all the way to 12:00 in the morning. On average, you will be super hungry one or two days a week, usually on weekends (or compensation psychology) and eat two or three meals. But I'm happy that my weight hasn't picked up.

The weight dropped to 115 in the second week.

To this day, it's still jumping around between 115.2 and 5.

I drink bulletproof coffee mainly to cheer me up. At the beginning, I consciously wanted to reduce sugar, probably because I was starch-controlled and didn't pay much attention to eating, but it can be said that starch basically accounted for 90% of my diet. So I really feel deeply what is called sugar addiction, withdrawal symptoms are extremely difficult, and the whole person's anxiety is really painful.

In fact, it is because of self-physical experiments. I read in the book why first-class talents are not stressed: diabetes, polycystic and depression are all related to starch, and I was skeptical. But the role of starch and phlegm dampness and insulin embarrassed me.

It doesn't seem to matter much, but when you think about it, the relationship seems to be very deep.

And the habit formed over the years is very difficult to change, so slowly adjust, do not force yourself to be too extreme, but clearly want to reduce sugar

In addition, I also began to try to reduce water and drink sugar from my stomach. For example, when I ate pure tea, I changed from two to three bottles a day to one bottle (two bottles occasionally in the first week. By this week, it has been stable one bottle a day or no drinking water at all.) the amount of other drinking water has also been reduced.

During this period of time, I still obediently take psychiatric medicine every day so that I can't sleep & not enough sleep, the heart part, my hands shaking and throbbing occasionally, but mostly because of the weather. I can only go to bed when the weather is hot (mainly because my heart is weak), but it's much better than being in bed all afternoon or lying in bed all day.

Bulletproof coffee did not aggravate my palpitations or weakness, but it did not change my physical strength because I became better and awake enough. what my physical strength was, it was the same after drinking bulletproof coffee, but the spare time was also very sober. The whole person has become a little more positive (spending money has become positive and annoying).

In 17 days, because the silver fast had been drinking off and on for about 15 days, anyway, the first half-pound of beans (washing) was finished, and then I bought a can of illy Ethiopia. Silver quickly bought half a pound of beans in Kardi. I later bought a hand filter cup (two cups together is faster & save time) and a bean grinder.

The first piece of cream, because there is no small piece of cream, my friend bought size for me, which is about four small pieces and big pieces. So far, I have only used half of them (right-- I didn't weigh myself, but I only added it by feeling. At first, even the amount of coffee and oil was too small).

The first bottle of first-squeezed coconut oil was quickly finished because it was in a 150g can. The two cans I bought later are miracle brand, recommended by a friend of Pu, and taste good. One bottle of 500g is about 285.When these two bottles are finished, I should find costo to buy more than 700 yuan for me in the tennis racquet.

* some friends directly use instant coffee to make coffee, which is said to have a very good effect.

* I don't seem to have a good ratio of oil to cream. Cream is basically used to maintain calories, so if you put too little, you will starve quickly, but even so, I still don't put in much. After all, the usual calorie intake is not much (it is useless to eat more anything).

Reducing sugar is a long-term thing, so it's important to maintain it, and I don't care about the weight, but after drinking for more than ten days (including reducing sugar), the whole person feels a little easier, and I'm actually very happy: d
