On the Bulletproof Diet - I feel amazing

So I've been at like 95% well for the past year and a half ( yes it's been that long but it's been up and down between 80%-99%), and with little gains i've been trying different things to try and give my body the strength it needs.

And so I bought Dave Asprey's book "The Bulletproof Diet"... A little background on him... He had toxic mold exposure from 2 places he lived in his 20s, plus he also had Lyme disease himself. He is now healthier than he has ever felt in his entire life, and he spent lots of money biohacking himself and figuring out how to get into a state of high performance.

So I've been following his diet pretty much bang on, and I have been feeling much better. Better energy, my cognition is better (even better than before lyme & Bart), and there is far less inflammation in my body.

I think it's working?

Anyways, just a suggestion for people to check out, I think the bulletproof diet is probably the best diet you can be on for people with lyme. It's somewhat similar to a Paleo diet, but even better. It also puts your body into a state of ketosis... But it has better points than a ketogenic diet as well. Adapting to a ketogenic diet is the hard part... And it usually takes 2 to 6 weeks for someone to adapt completely adjust, basically the body needs to adjust to burning fat as it's main energy source. But when it does people feel so much better.

Also Lyme has a sweet tooth, it likes to use glucose as it's energy source just like lots of other pathogenic bacteria. Intestinal yeast also thrives with sugar. With no sugar or gluocse circulating the diseases basically starve to death.

Also Tim Ferris recently had Lyme... His treatment now??? All he uses for his treatment is keeping himself in ketosis and apparently he's pretty much back to normal.

Besides maintaining a ketogenic diet is actually a gift anyways as fat is burned which burns much cleaner than sugar or glucose... (less Reactive Oxygen Species). Also as fat is burned, the cell membranes of your cells are actually changed out an replaced, and toxins are naturally released from your cells. Because of the amount of fat consumed, lots of bile is released by the liver which helps detox and the high fiber in the diet helps completely eliminate the bile from being reabsorbed in the digestive tract.

Just a suggestion! I believe it's great. Also there is 1 day of the week on this diet which is a carb refueling day where you do eat some carbs for the week. This same day it's recommended to eat very little protein to cleanse your cells out, this is also important because if you have your carbs the day you have no protein, the pathogenic bacteria can't really grow as they will grow best with both.

It's important to learn the diet before implementing it as you will want to have the right kinds of fats for the diet such as MCT oil or caprylic acid, and butyric acid. Basically fats that are easily converted into ketones, and it's now been proven that most of the brain can adjust to using ketones as energy as well.

Anyways, I highly recommend people looking into this great option for a diet while treating lyme and co.

Thanks for sharing )

Looks like majority of beneficial diets follows one pattern - high fat, average protein, low carb (at least high GI ones)
Are there any mention of saukernaut in Bulletproof diet ?

P.S. I am kinda of fan of Tim Ferris, surprised that he is in the same boat with Lyme. Hopefully he will find the ultimate life hack in this field )

Thanks Chapelle!

Actually it's really easy to follow and I'm not doing anything fancy.

I drink the bulletproof coffee for breakfast and it's the best tasting coffee ever. Coffee, butter from grassfed cows, and the brain octane oil.

I bought a vegetable steamer and I steam up broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower. I eat that for lunch. Just the bulletproof vegetables.

I have a protein shaker and mix whey from grass fed cows and have that as my protein.

I also make lots of eggs, cooked in lots of healthy fats.

Then I make smoothies, I just mix aloe Vera, apple cider vinegar, lemon, avocado, cucumber, fennel, whey protein, cilantro, and some organic berries.

I'm really not doing anything complicated.

Try googling "bullet proof diet roadmap" and click on images for searching. You will find the bulletproof diet and list of bulletproof foods. The foods are on a spectrum. Bulletproof foods are bulletproof. Then there are suspect foods which are still healthy but do actually have cons to them. And then there are toxic foods which simply should be completely avoided.

If you prefer video presentations over reading (I can retain reading anymore).; here is the diets inventor himself in a long presentation:

copy and paste in search- I dont know how to make a blue "quick link" (can someone tell me for future posts?)

I dont keep up on diets since most are fads. This guy has obviously studied body chemistry (or is a great fooler) and gives reason for what this diet does. I would NEVER go on some new diet without explanation of what it does inside you.

When I have a hour (its almost winter up here) , I'll watch this.
