In The Bulletproof Diet, Dave Asprey turned conventional diet wisdom on its head, outlining the plan responsible for his 100-pound weight loss, which he came to by “biohacking” his body and optimizing every aspect of his health. The unconventional plan urges you to skip breakfast, stop counting calories, eat high levels of healthy saturated fat, work out less, sleep better, and add smart supplements. In doing so, Dave says you’ll gain energy, build lean muscle, and watch the pounds melt off―just as he and so many others have.
Bulletproof: The Cookbook picks up where the diet plan leaves off, arming you with 125 recipes to stay Bulletproof for life and never get bored. Famous for his butter-laden Bulletproof Coffee, Dave packs the book with the delicious, filling meals he uses to maintain his weight loss and sustain his boundless energy. Once you get your hands on these mouthwatering recipes, you’ll be hungry for more―and this book is just what you’ll reach for. The Bulletproof lifestyle is your blueprint to a supercharged life.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
HAVE NOT GOT TO THE POINT OF STURDING THE COOKBOOK
2. I used to work in catering/personal chef and taught cooking, so I have bought A LOT of cookbooks. The balance that I think is important in writing recipes for people who are changing their eating habits a) make them uncomplicated (so that you're not constantly thinking about food!), b) fairly easy to source ingredients (ever read diet recipes and go "what the hell is that and where am I supposed to buy it?!) and c) flavorful enough that you don't feel like a martyr.
3. If you're thinking of doing this, don't just "dabble" and then complain if it doesn't work for you. Read The Bulletproof Diet, there are explanations and valid research backing up the ideas, and follow it for a while.
2 meals a day, a period of fasting, butter coffee in the morning is a perfect plan. Eat until satiated, don't count any calories, stick to the good fats and enjoy your food while shedding unwanted pounds. The recipes are easy, you just need to gather the ingredients and do it. I feel so good I don't even want to eat out. I do what is suggested when I'm hungry and it works, no need to eat!
Now to the book....the recipes are solid in the book, but many I feel are re-hashed from the original Bulletproof Diet book, or stuff you can find online. If you are new to the diet, then I would recommend buying this book as it will give you a great overview and recipes to work off of.
A lot of great information here.
Plus recipes like:
- Hanger Steak and Herb Butter
- Steamed Artichokes with Salmon and Vinaigrette
- Bulletproof Roast Sirloin with Brussels Sprouts,
and
- Flounder with Saffron Sauce
To all this I say, " Awesomesauce!!"
Also, I had high blood pressure, and my blood pressure is back in normal range after I lost 20 pounds (which I did in a little over 3 weeks)!
