The Bulletproof Diet is on trend! 14 unique tricks of American engineers

Have you tried all the weight loss tips but still can’t lose weight? An American Silicon Valley engineer who once weighed over 140 kilograms tried countless weight-loss methods, even exercising six days a week, but he was still obese. Therefore, he used his analytical expertise as an engineer to find out the factors in food and lifestyle that lead to obesity, and created his own "Bulletproof Weight Loss Method" with 14 tips. He discovered that an anti-inflammatory lifestyle is the key to successfully losing weight and regaining health!

The "bulletproof diet" mainly protects against the "bullets" that actually are all the causes that cause "inflammation" of the body's organs.

According to what Dave Asprey, an engineer from the Silicon Valley of the United States, shared on the program "Health Talk on Fox News", the "bulletproof diet" is mainly designed to protect against "bullets", which are actually all the causes that lead to "inflammation" of the body's organs. He pointed out that obesity is closely related to chronic inflammation. Instead of worrying about how many calories you eat or consume every day, it is more important to worry about the "quality" of your diet and lifestyle.

Try the Bulletproof Diet for 2 weeks

The Bulletproof Weight Loss Method designed by Asper has 14 steps. He pointed out that you can start from any step and take a step-by-step approach to change your habits one by one. The more steps you take, the more obvious the results will be. It is recommended that people who want to lose weight try this weight loss method for 2 weeks first, and make sure to record whether their mental state and sleep quality have improved due to changes in eating habits.

[14 Tips for the Bulletproof Diet]:

1. Reduce sugar intake: including drinks containing high fructose syrup, energy drinks, or drinks containing honey and agave syrup.

2. Choose healthy fats: such as clarified butter (ghee), butter made from grass-fed cow's milk, coconut oil, or get good fats from avocados.

3. Avoid gluten intake: such as gluten-containing bread, cereals, pasta, etc.

4. Avoid eating grains and their products: Cereals and oils pressed from grains should be reduced.

5. Avoid artificial food additives: including pigments, MSG, sugar substitutes, seasonings, etc.

6. Choose meat from pastured livestock: pastured cattle, lamb, chicken, etc., can be eaten with fish, eggs, and shellfish.

7. Avoid eating beans: such as peanuts and lentils. If this cannot be avoided, cooked beans should be eaten.

Enjoying natural foods in a happy mood is a tip to prevent obesity and chronic inflammation.

8. Avoid eating processed foods: Avoid eating overly processed and sterilized dairy products.

9. Choose meat parts carefully: Choose meat from grass-fed animals and wild-caught seafood. If you can't find them, choose the leanest parts of meat.

10. Eat more organic fruits and vegetables: Choose organic fruits and vegetables.

11. Low-temperature cooking: It is advisable to cook food slowly at low temperature, and try to add water when cooking. Do not use a microwave or frying method.

12. Choose to eat low-fructose fruits: Eat 1-2 servings of fruit every day and choose low-fructose fruits.

13. Use seasonings with caution: Choose natural herbs such as thyme or rosemary as ingredients, and avoid using dry powders.

14. Keep a happy mood: Enjoy your food in a happy mood.

In addition, it should be noted that there is no need to specifically limit daily calorie intake, but 50% to 60% of daily calories should come from healthy fats, 20% from protein, and the rest from fruits and vegetables.

HIIT high-intensity interval training can force the body to burn a large amount of fat in a very short period of time, and the weight loss effect is more significant.

Intermittent eating: eating at the right time

Yasper pointed out that in addition to the above 14 adjustments to eating habits, you can also combine it with the principle of "intermittent eating", that is, only eat at specific times, and let the body consume stored energy at other times, thereby improving the body's metabolism and alleviating chronic inflammatory symptoms. The mind can also become more focused, which helps to improve the overall spirit.

He designed three important time points to control the pace of diet: drink a cup of coffee with high-quality unsalted cream at 8 o'clock in the morning, and do not eat other food. Aspers believes that high-quality cream, which is cream made from grass-fed cow's milk, is better to add to coffee than adding milk to coffee because coffee itself has antioxidant properties, but the protein in milk will combine with the antioxidants in coffee, making it impossible for the body to absorb the antioxidants. As for cream, there is no such problem. That is, the antioxidants in coffee can be absorbed by the body, while the cream provides the calories needed by the body, and there is no need to eat other foods to produce the required energy.

Then, until after 2:00 p.m., you can eat as much of the foods recommended by the Bulletproof Diet as possible, and have your last meal at 8 p.m., after which you must fast.

The Bulletproof Diet should be combined with HIIT exercise

Aspers also believes that exercise is an essential part of losing weight and maintaining health. From his own weight loss experience, he found that sometimes relying too much on exercise to lose weight can lead to excessive exercise, which is both ineffective and harmful to the body. He found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is one of the most useful training methods. It can force the body to burn a large amount of fat in a very short period of time to achieve high explosive power and allow the muscles to repair themselves within a few days after exercise. In this way, the effect of training muscles and burning fat is more significant.

Quality sleep is also an important part of the Bulletproof Diet.

Improve sleep quality, be energetic and help lose weight

Quality sleep is also an important part of the Bulletproof Diet. Yaspers pointed out that some people sleep a lot, but their sleep quality is not good, which leads to poor metabolism and a vicious cycle of health. If you have high-quality sleep, even if you sleep less, your body organs can get a good rest and are less likely to develop chronic inflammation.

【Health Tips】:

Aspers' Bulletproof diet is mainly aimed at reducing the factors that cause chronic inflammation in the body. Most people can benefit from a diet low in sugar, gluten, and dairy products. But he also pointed out that because everyone's allergens are different, it is not suitable for everyone. In addition, intermittent eating is not suitable for patients with metabolic-related diseases because blood sugar levels will fluctuate greatly due to food reduction, which may aggravate the condition.
