Bulletproof diet – part II

Coconut oil has a huge impact on our health, but it is less ketogenic. In practice, it stimulates the production of ketone bodies less than other oils.

Brain Octain Oil and  XTC oil support weight control through better “satisfying” effect. They are easily absorbed by the liver, resulting in an increase of energy and thermogenesis. Both oils are derived from coconut but they can also be found in breast milk, which becomes another argument for encouraging breastfeeding. I often talk about these fats in the context of similarities, but we shouldnt underestimate the differences between them and their different role in our diet.

Other benefits resulting from the application of capric acid:

•  The increase in good cholesterol
• Strong antibacterial and antiviral properties
• Supporting fat loss and muscle building
• Quick assimilation by the body and strong energy injections

For medium chain fatty acids (called. Medium Chain Fatty Acids – MCF A) we include fatty acids containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms in the chain. This will include  the most common group of fatty acids like caproic (C6), caprylic acid (C8), capric (C10) and lauric (C12). There are also the acids with an odd number of carbon atoms, having no greater practical significance, e.g.,. Enanthic acid (C7) and pelargonic acid (C9). The latter occurs in nature in the form of geraniums esters with a characteristic odor. Medium chain fatty acids are taken from animals in the form of triglycerides (MCT) These particles are smaller than the particles of triglycerides of long chain fatty acids (LCT), which makes the process of hydrolysis  faster and energy-saving, as it does not require the presence of all the enzymes that usually are involved in the metabolism of fats. Unlike the parent natural fats hydrolysis of long chain fatty acids of medium takes place without the participation of the pancreatic lipase (Guillot et al., 1994). Obtained by an animal almost immediately MCT are digestible by saliva glycerol and fatty acids, and  pancreatic lipase essential for fat hydrolysis process is not needed in this case. This fact is also important in human nutrition, eg. In the preparation of diets for patients with metabolic diseases that cause impaired absorption of fat,  people with functional disorders of the pancreas, and also for toddlers and young animals whose digestive tract and processes was not yet been fully developed (Marion et al., 2002). In such cases, medium triacylglicerol acids of  may be the main or only form of absorbing fat. Young piglets, for example, with not fully developed functions of digestive gastrointestinal tract, are able to digest and absorb fat in the form of triacylglicerol MCF A.”

Capryilic acid has the advantages of the first oil and also is good for high blood pressure and is guarding the process of overgrowth of yeast in your body.The deterioration of these proportions is the cause of many symptoms such as:

• abdominal bloating
• irritable bowel syndrome
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• depression
• skin and mouth infection

At the end I will remind you  how to prepare my favorite “bulletproof” coffee. Start by boiling water and brew a cup of coffee. Add 1-2 teaspoons of butter from milk from cows fed with grass (for people with allergies to cow’s milk protein it is advisable to use ghee butter) and add 1-2 teaspoons of “Brain Octane Oil” or oil XCT. If you make coffee from this recipe for the first time, remember that both oils at high doses can cause diarrhea,  so  its better to start with a small amount, which will be gradually increased. Mix all the ingredients for about 20 seconds. Such a cup in the morning gives you energy for the whole active day! Yummy!
