We all aspire to feel great and have lean, tight, toned bodies, because looking great is feeling great. There are many dietary approaches to getting lean and staying lean, but many are just gimmicks that make little or no sense at all. However, there is one method that is as old as the human race itself, and was the standard eating regime by our ancestors for millions of years: intermittent fasting.

That said, intermittent fasting kind of sucks to do in real life. For the inexperienced faster, it can leave you feeling weak, hungry, and grumpy when you need energy the most to fuel your life, career, and relationships.

So I found a Bulletproof way to hack it. Enter, Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting: an effective alternative.

Watch the video here:

Intermittent fasting has been practised in some form or another by cultures all over the world throughout history. The practice of only eating during designated periods, late in the day, harks back to the days of hunter-gatherers when people would often spend hours or days without a good meal. Intermittent fasting is also shown to aid in resisting and fighting diseases like diabetes, as well as helping the body cleanse and rejuvenate itself.

Now, I’ve developed a protocol to supercharge this ancient technique by applying 21st-century knowledge and nutrition. While Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting involves not eating for 18 hours each day, Bulletproof Coffee will keep you going.

Here is the Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting protocol (full protocol here):

1. Have only Bulletproof Coffee for breakfast
2. Don't eat before 2pm or after 8pm; eat only Bulletproof foods in this window
3. Have another coffee before 2pm (no later) if you feel hungry
4. Work out (optional but recommended)
5. Feed your body with as many Bulletproof foods as you like between 2pm and 8pm

Following this intermittent fasting protocol, laid out in greater detail in the new Bulletproof Diet book, boosts your body's metabolic rate, helps your body regulate itself better and teaches it to be more efficient in the digesting and processing of food.

Bulletproof Coffee contains a lower level of toxins and more antioxidants than regular coffee, but the recipe doesn't stop there. There’s also a neat bio-hack to preparing Bulletproof coffee that can seriously up your game: you should add 1-2 spoonfuls of unsalted, grass-fed butter, as well as Bulletproof Brain Octane oil to your brew.  While this provides plenty of energy in the form of fats, the Brain Octane oil is also rich in MCTs - fats scientifically shown to increase the rate at which our bodies burn stored fat for energy. This coffee really does tick all the boxes needed to burn that belly.

So, give Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting a go and see how great you start to feel immediately.

Not only can it help you burn fat, especially when combined with a good exercise regime; it also helps keep your body energised, self-regulating and disease free.
