Regardless, you are getting chased by a lion, training 30 hours a week or working your backside off for hard earned cash or carrer purpos...

Increasing your productivity in business, sports or family life is the end goal. The meaning of human existence is improvement and to be the best you, you can be. If you follow the horde with the basic animal needs, like graze, multiply, survive, you’ll have a short and boring life.

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0pKVKNUaHU) Big fan of the idea behind Bulletproof coffee, but is it worth just making your own, or do you have to buy the specially branded Bulletproof Coffee and XCT oil. Check out my video on What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Jalapeño-demi brisket slices with blended leek and broccoli soup // Used the infrared cooker at 350F while dry sautéing the green part of the leeks with good salt... let the brisket cook until it was about med-rare. After the leek-tips had started to caramelize a bit, I added chopped broccoli stem and hot water, let it go for about 15 minutes with some turmeric. To finish the soup, I added broccoli tips and white leek slices, let that go for a few minutes, then blended, adding a good amount of coconut oil. After the brisket was med-rare, I sliced it real thin (thinner the better, as it's not been braised to break-down the connective tissues) (pro-tip: sharp knives make a big difference here). Sauteed the diced jalapeño with butter, then added a few tablespoons of frozen demi-glace to the pan, let those mingle and then tossed the sliced brisket into that. As I eat it now, I realize that I didn't slice the brisket thin enough... it's a real chewer meal, but the flavour from the demi-jalapeño sauce is incredible, and the nice beef fat from this grass-fed free-range been is very good (I'm definitely chewing the fat, as the old saying goes). I highly recommend this simple sauce... butter, jalapeño, demi. I've been keeping demi in my freezer lately, and just use a boning knife to chip-off a chunk when I need it. Demi, prep containers, sharp knives, towel in my belt... tips from professional kitchens that make cooking much smoother. I used two wooden cutting boards, two pans, my IR cooker (thanks Mr. T), and then washed-up with really hot water and thick dish gloves (I like really thick ones so I can use hotter water, for a better clean-up without worrying about burning myself or being delicate), and the ubiquitous green scrubby pad, an essential in every dish-pit. Anyway, eat well, pick-up heavy shit, and get your pale ass some sun... namaste motherfucker. -The Ghetto-Fabulous Chef

Haven't made a text post in a while, mainly because I was thinking about writing one about this but kept on putting it off until I decided what I really thought/had more experience with the bulletproof coffee/diet. This has ended up being a longer post because I have been putting off writing so I'm making it a read more:

I've started reading about the bulletproof diet recently and it's really challenging a lot of what I've thought was healthy in the past. It's hard because I feel a little overwhelmed with information/opinions from people that support the diet etc. I'm trying to take small steps at a time with it though and decide what I think is supported well by evidence and not just claims that aren't backed up.

Bullet proof coffee has been interesting. The one main thing I have noticed is that i haven't experience ANY of the normal down after the coffee which is usually experience with cheap coffee supposedly from the mycotoxins. The other thing I think is working is the performance. It's hard to tell if it is actually working with the MCT oil but I do feel slightly more alert and perform slightly better mentally with the oil, however it is hard to tell with the placebo effect as well!

I haven't been taking it everyday... just alternate days. I do understand the benefit of the grass fed butter and everything but I'm just not sure about the caffeine/coffee part. I'm not completely sold that coffee EVERY morning can be good for you and am slightly concerned about the build up of caffeine in the body and its effect on my skin?

The other thing i've tried to change is my breakfast. I don't think I can go without breakfast, particularly as I workout 5 days a week but I am eating less and I think I'm going to try and eat less grains (so stop the granola). I'm not convinced that oats are particularly bad for you though. I always thought they were a fairly clean form of carb to have in the mornings. Must admit the other day when I only had a small amount of oats and a coffee in the morning I did feel somehow lighter and not so heavy? but it could just be the quantity rather than the form of my breakfast so not so sure.

I assume you've already posted this, but can you re-post or link your bulletproof coffee recipe, pretty please! :D Thank you lovely!

My husband and I share a batch of bulletproof coffee every morning. This is my make-shift recipe… I apologize in advance:

I’ll grind 1/4th of a cup of whole coffee beans in my coffee grinder. Meanwhile I’ll have my electric kettle heating up 34oz of water (2 water bottles) which I’ll pour over the ground beans in my french press. I’ll let it brew for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. While I wait, I’ll slice about 4 tbsp of kerrygold grassed butter into a large plastic container and I’ll splash in some MCT oil. Once the coffee is brewed, I’ll pour the pressed coffee into the butter and MCT and I’ll blend it with my hand blender. Voila! Hot, delicious, frothy, bulletproof coffee.

And that’s how I make coffee for 2 every morning.

There are photos of my set up here, here and here.
