Bulletproof Coffee Review – The Biohacking Buttered Coffee
I am writing this bulletproof coffee review based on my experience and by doing a short research on the subject since I was very curious to know more about this over-hyped buttered coffee that went viral a few years ago.
Considering the impact Dave Asprey’s biohacking coffee recipe has made on the internet and social media, I think I am arriving very late in the scenario, anyways it is a fresh thing for me and so is for many people who are yet to know about it after me and maybe through this post itself.
People have praised and criticized this particular secret to stay more energized while shedding pounds from Dave Asprey, so it has become very difficult to know whether this thing works or not.
That’s why I think I can help a few people to know the truth with this post, where I will be talking about it in full detail.
What Is Bulletproof Coffee?
In simple words, it is the regular coffee prepared without adding sugar or milk, but using butter instead with a little MCT Oil (or coconut oil).
According to Dave, a large cup of this coffee in the morning helps you to stay more energized throughout the day, which allows you to perform better and be more productive in whatever work you do whereas it also kills the food cravings.
One of the prime reasons why people are attracted towards this coffee is due to its weight loss benefits, it is said that if you will drink this during breakfast you won’t feel hungry at all for the rest of your day! But that doesn’t mean you should avoid food.
There is a specific diet plan to be followed along with the intake of this buttered coffee for achieving its true benefits, which is all about skipping breakfast and giving about an 18 hour gap between your dinner and the next day lunch.
The weight loss mechanism that works here is the same one that has been used by many diet plans “ketosis” which means the body automatically kicks into the fat burning mode when it runs out of carbs.
Dave Asprey discovered this recipe in 2009 after drinking a yak butter tea in Nepal and since then this special coffee has been used by numerous people, including some well known sportspeople and celebrities, he claims that drinking this in the morning improves your cognitive functions.
Bulletproof coffee has been featured on many television shows and it is a very popular thing in the Silicon Valley.
The Actual Bulletproof Coffee Experience
People say that this coffee is delicious; I didn’t believe that initially, butter in coffee? How could that be a good taste? But it was! Without even adding sugar, the taste was good.
Unlike what I expected, I felt hungry later and skipping breakfast did not really felt like a good idea.
Honestly, for a few days the only thing that appeared good to me about this whole thing was the taste and on contrary to the purpose, I often felt sluggish during the day while doing this so called “biohacking”.
Slowly I realized why people are talking about it so much, I felt no real need to eat during my day and I was more alert than usual.
My work doesn’t require any physical effort, all I need is focus and it was helping me in some way with that.
However, even though I wasn’t eating much, I didn’t lose a pound!
A little extra energy during the day was not enough to motivate me to go into the kitchen every morning and make this coffee, so I finally stopped drinking it.
Dave Asprey has also received a lot of criticism from nutritionists and other people who believe that this is just a false publicity method he has used to make money.
On the other hand, I have also seen so many people attributing their increased energy levels and weight loss to this little morning secret.
Overall, I think this thing works well for some people and not others depending on their body types.
See, I do have a lot of weight to shed, but I don’t crave for high calorie food nor do I eat more than needed, so it didn’t work well for me to lose weight. It surely did made me feel more energetic, but I don’t have a tiresome schedule in order to use it for that purpose.
If you are among people who start feeling sluggish after the first half of their work hours, if you work at night or if you have the habit of emotional eating, then I think you must give it a try. After all, the coffee has developed a cult of its own, so there must be some truth to it right?
Preparation
1 – Make 2 cups of black coffee in the regular way. (You can use bullet proof upgraded coffee for more benefits, says Dave Asprey).
2 – Put 2 spoons of grass fed unsalted butter in it with some MCT oil or coconut oil.
3 – Mix them in a blender, allowing it to be creamy as it should be. (Do not use a spoon or any other way to mix)
4 – Done, enjoy your bulletproof coffee.
If you find it hard to get all the required items then you can also order the upgraded bulletproof kit.
Here’s a video where Dave shows how to make it: –

If you want to unleash your subconscious mind power then it is essential that you should dissolve the limiting beliefs that stops you from using the higher faculties of your mind to achieve what you want in life.

Even though we have a very powerful tool at our disposal, only a few people know how to make right use of it, in fact many of us are unconsciously using this power against ourselves. Continue reading

Debunking the 10 Percent Brain Use Myth
Whenever I explore a new personal development program, I often get annoyed by the strategies they use to promote their products because many of them do it based on the very old myth that we use only 10 percent of our brains.
They use Albert Einstein as an example of a person who has used his brain more than others. What’s so astounding about all this is that they have got us to believe in it despite of the fact that no legitimate research work or study has backed up this speculation.
So, how much of the brain do we actually use? 100%!.. Come on, why would the rest of the brain part would even exist if we are not using it? And if that’s true then like appendix we can get it removed, ask those advertisers to prove their point by doing that.
Some very interesting movies have also used this particular conjecture as the basis of their whole plot. Limitless and Lucy are two well-known movies that were based on this concept.
I think such hypotheses is good for entertainment purpose, but when people use this as an instrument to give false hope to others, it becomes essential to dig deeper and find out the truth. Continue reading
3 Easy Steps to Overcome the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure is called “Atychiphobia” in psychological language, but, this fear is present in everyone. Our success in any area of our lives highly depends upon our willingness to overcome this obstacle.
We all are afraid of losing, even the most successful people in the world are troubled by this fear. However, they have learned the lesson that facing the fear is better than running away from it, this difference in the perspective is what sets them apart from others.
Millions of dreams have been shattered because people are not willing to take the risks. Any successful person will tell you how important it is to take the risks in life if you want to be successful.
We are not totally responsible for the fact that the thoughts of failure terrifies us, our society has trained our minds in a way that we look at “failure” as some kind of ruthless enemy, when in truth it is our best friend. Why? – Because they are the best teachers.
Whenever something doesn’t work out, you get aware of one path that is not to be taken next time. That’s how Edison found the right way to invent the electric bulb, you might have heard his famous quote “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Yeah I know such thoughts look good in philosophies. But, in reality, even though we might have forgotten, that is how we had all our proud accomplishments.
For example, do you think that any kid in the world would have learned to walk without falling down numerous times? Obviously NO, still no kid ever refuses to give another try just because they fear getting hurt. Yes, we are born winners. Continue reading
The Connection between Weight Loss and Mind Conditioning
In this post, we are going to see how weight loss and the mind conditioning of a person is related and the role of our subconscious beliefs in deciding our body shape.
Earlier people would have never accepted the idea that a person’s body weight could be a result of the ideas ingrained in their subconscious mind, but now it is becoming more and more evident that weight loss has a lot to do with a person’s mind and their relationship with food.
For some people, it would be very difficult to accept that “weight loss is all in the mind” however, we know it very well that even stringent diet plans and rigorous exercises have failed to work for thousands of people, and many of those who have succeeded would find themselves gaining the weight back within a few months… Why?-It is all about the self-image which is what we are now going to discuss next.

Photographic Memory or Eidetic Memory
In simple words, photographic memory could be described as an ability to recall things in form of images with all details.
Actually we all think in images, on a conscious level we might not be able to discern that always but with a little awareness you can know that whenever we are thinking or recalling we are doing it in form of images.
If I say “fire” you will immediately see an image of fire in your mind that’s how our thinking mechanism works.
So, when we all try to recall things from past, sometimes we get vivid pictures in mind and sometimes we see distorted images and that is what differentiates a person having a strong memory with the one who has weak memory. The reason behind this actually depends on many factors like a person’s attentiveness, their practice in recalling, confidence etc. which is all related to only one thing and that is their conscious mind’s rapport with their subconscious mind.
