Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body that makes the structure of our bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. If you are not intentionally consuming collagen-rich foods, there is a chance your body does not receive the needed amount of this protein.
Enriching your Bulletproof coffee with collagen is a great way to enjoy a tasty cup of joe while taking advantage of all the health benefits that come from collagen supplementation.
In this post, we cover everything you need to know to make your own Collagen Bulletproof Coffee, as well as its effect on the human body.
The original Bulletproof Coffee recipe is 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted grass-fed butter, 1-2 tablespoons of Brain Octane or XCT oil and 1-2 cups (250-500ml) of hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans using a metal filter (like Aeropress or a French press).
Back in April 2012 I was on the tail end of a debaucherous Fiji holiday (which was precluded by a stressful time at work so I hadn’t been taking v. good care of myself in the weeks leading up to it either - it happens from time to time!), being a fairly impatient person I felt like I needed a bit of a jump start to get back into the swing of things. Enter the Bulletproof Diet “Rapid Fat Loss Protocol”…
Feeling fairly stress free on the tail end of the holiday the idea was to use the RFLP as a way to jumpstart my way back into a healthy physical state. The diet is basically a cyclic ketogenic diet with some systems thinking put into supplementation and food quality to ensure that it isn’t unnecessarily stressful on your body and also to address vitamin/mineral deficiencies that appear when you limit your diet to butter coffee and MCT oil.
Across each day of the BPExec 2013 conference the man himself Dave Asprey gave some time for Q & A about issues that may or may not have been explicitly covered in the conference. It was a really great way to air any specific issues or questions that people had about the diet and the approach in general.
We’ve compiled a list of the tidbits that stood out to us as being particularly interesting and put them into categories below. We hope you’ll find them interesting.
