What’s Bulletproof Coffee? We made a regular coffee, then blended in grass-fed butter and XCT oil or Brain Octane Oil. Coming in at approximately 400 calories it’s meant to assist in pushing you into fat-burning ketosis and improve mental clarity and focus. The experiment? Would we notice this increased clarity and focus?

Some of the topics discussed:

  • How important is a blender vs. a frother vs. a spoon?
  • Do you really need to buy Brain Octane Oil?
  • Can you use regular or store-bought organic coffee?
  • What’s the one major side effect of too much oil?
  • Could Bulletproof Coffee work alongside intermittent fasting?

In the end, each of them decide if Bulletproof Coffee is now part of their lifestyle, and introduce what they’ll be doing next month.

The two were only able to eat food between the hours of 12pm and 8pm daily for the month, with minor liquids allowed in their off-hours. The experiment? Without otherwise altering diet would they experience weight loss or lose any inches around the mid-section?

Some of the topics discussed:

  • The major issue each met by not making changes to their meal sizes
  • The effect the experiment had on IBS issues
  • How intermittent fasting impacts a keto (Alexander) and Paleo (Rick) lifestyle
  • Results, if any, on athletic performance
  • Why Alexander and Rick were sending frantic WhatsApps at 11pm on a Saturday
  • In the end, each of them decide if intermittent fasting is now part of their lifestyle, and introduce what they’ll be doing next month.
