The Bulletproof Diet
The Bulletproof Diet helps people lose up to a pound a day and feel better than ever by gaining incredible levels of energy and focus. And it’s all rooted in one core principle: Learning how to effectively fuel your brain and body, while ridding your life of the toxins and bad habits that are holding you back.
The Bulletproof Diet supports fat loss and muscle maintenance, all while lowering inflammation. It’s also designed to help balance blood sugar and hormones, plus increase your energy levels and cognitive function. Here’s the short version.
On the Bulletproof Diet, you’ll eat fewer carbs, plenty of healthy fats, and more vegetables than you ever thought you could eat. Because you’re eating better than you ever have, you’ll never count calories or macros, and you won’t experience cravings and distraction.
