Why Bulletproof Coffee (BPC) and what is it? Bulletproof coffee is coffee made with MCT oil (or coconut oil), and grassfed unsalted butter. It has thermogenic (fat burning) properties, and gives you ridiculous amounts of energy. Plus it tastes amazing. To make it: Combine 6- 8 ounces of coffee with 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (I use Kerrygold), and 1 Tbsp of MCT oil (coconut oil works if you can’t get MCT oil). You can also add sugar free sweetener – I make Mr. Hungry’s with Splenda (he prefers it) and cinnamon – it’s yummy. The key to good BPC is that you emulsify it. I use this battery- powered, hand- held frother thingy and it works great. Others make it in a magic bullet or blender and blend for 2. You can’t just stir it in with a spoon or you’ll have a gross oil slick on top. Ewww. Try bulletproof – you’ll never want to go back to heavy cream again – or at least we didn’t! Do I need to be in ketosis already to do the egg fast diet? No, but it will be easier if you are – the detox symptoms of getting into ketosis can be rough already on first timers – doing something as extremely low carb as the egg fast right off the bat will be much harder. I recommend easing into it with my 3 Day Keto Kickstart Plan if you’re a complete newbie to any low carb plan.

Aim for at least 1. Can I drink diet soda or other calorie free drinks on the egg fast diet? Diet soda is inherently unhealthy for you. Don’t stop taking any medications! If you aren’t already supplementing with magnesium and potassium (lite salt added to your food works best), then you should start. Be sure to get plenty of sodium as well. These three things will help you avoid getting cramps, headaches, and help regulate your fluids to avoid lightheadedness, heart palpitations, etc. How will I stay “regular?”Magnesium is a mild laxative and will help with this if you’re supplementing (as you should be.) In addition, because you are eating so much fat, it should keep things running smoothly. Bulletproof coffee is your friend. Is any cheese ok on this egg fast diet plan? Any full fat, less than 1g net carb per ounce type of cheese should be ok. That may even mean eating more than this plan calls for – especially in the first couple of days. I couldn’t stand the thought of another egg by Day five. That being said, if you want to experiment with a handful of spinach here, a few romaine leaves there, some chopped onions and peppers thrown into your eggs, etc. I’m not the boss of you and neither is the egg fast. Here’s the problem – looking for loopholes and making eggceptions (sorry, couldn’t help myself and I should get credit for holding out this long with no egg puns by the way – it wasn’t easy, ya know!) with a little of this and a little of that is a slippery slope. If you want to do the egg fast the way it was intended by the originators – you don’t eat any fruits or vegetables. The end. Got a question that’s not in the FAQ’s??

The calorie consumption is low. This particular diet should not be followed for longer than the three day period. Participants are not required to exercise. The 3 day diet is a low calorie diet, and you can expect weight loss due to the sudden drop in calories. The problem is only that the calories on the 3 day diet are below 1. Your body thinks that it hit an emergency situation, and adjusts (to ensure your survival) by reducing the amount of calories it burns. The 3 day diet plan can be cycled as long as you incorporate an adjustment phase, which is 4- 5 days of “regular” eating. In other words, you can repeat the 3 day diet plan continuously so long as you eat normally for 4 to 5 days after each 3- day cycle. Many people are successful in losing weight on the 3 day diet plan. What is critical (if you want to keep the pounds off), is to slowly come back to normal eating after the 3 days, otherwise you will be at high risk of gaining it back quickly and then some! In a nutshell, if you want to lose up to 1. If you want to keep the lost weight off, you need to carefully plan the return to your normal eating pattern. Should I Exercise on the 3- Day Diet? With such low calorie intake (below 1. However, if you have the energy, and/or want to exercise, exercise will not only help you to lose weight faster, but it may also reduce your appetite, making it easier to be on this diet. Based on a study (links below) by Dr. Stensel of the Loughborough University in the United Kingdom, aerobic exercises (walking, running) are better at suppressing appetite than non- aerobic (muscle) exercises. You could incorporate a simple walking exercise on a daily basis. If the weather in your area permits, you can also take a nice walk every day. The exercise may reduce your appetite and make this diet easier. Now, once you are off the 3 day diet, exercise will become critical. If after a period of significant calorie reduction, you all of a sudden eat “normal” again, and maybe even eat MORE to fulfill your cravings, you will need to increase your exercise level to ensure that you can keep all or most of the weight loss.

Exercise Suppresses Appetite By Affecting Appetite Hormones, Science Daily How to Decrease Your Appetite While on the 3 Day Diet. Feeling hungry or having an appetite is not just a physical phenomenon, it is also psychological. We eat because we are stressed, bored, or because it is “time” to eat. Here are a few tips to decrease your appetite naturally. This can be especially helpful during the 3 day diet as you only eat a limited amount of food, but these are also good weight loss tips outside the 3 day diet. Drink water. Hunger and thirst are not that easy to distinguish. Low level thirst often feels like hunger. Drinking enough water throughout the day and before meals helps to ensure that what you are feeling is truly hunger, so that you don’t waste calories by eating, when water would have quenched your hunger! Drinking water should help to manage your hunger feelings while on the 3 day diet. There also has been research showing that water consumption increases the rate at which people burn calories. According to Mayo Clinic, you should be drinking at least eight 8- ounce glasses of fluid a day. On a side note, there also has been research showing that drinking lime/lemon water is particularly helpful to lose weight. So if don’t mind the taste, lemon water may be the best water to drink. Get enough sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will tend to eat more, need more food to be not hungry and have a greater appetite, because your body hormones go into a direction that encourages weight gain. This short video (1 min) explains the importance of sleep for weight loss. But there is more to sleep, according to Psychology Today. According to Psychology Today, you burn more calories sleeping than just lying down in bed during particular phases of your sleep. The most calorie intense part of your sleep is the REM phase when your body burns a lot of calories. Unfortunately a big part of your REM occurs between the 6th hour and 8th hour of your sleep. So, if you miss those 2 hours, you will burn a lot less calories during your sleep. Combining the 3 day diet with sleep for at least 8 hours a day ensures that you get the most weight loss, and that during the day your hormones don’t make you hungry.

In addition to reducing appetite, Pysllium is also a good colon cleanser, providing detoxification and bowel regularity.

According to the diet guidelines, this diet should be followed to the last detail, however the following items can be exchanged if necessary. Just make sure you eat nutritious and balanced foods for the 4 days when you are not on the diet. What about those 4 days when I am not dieting? The biggest obstacle to maintaining the weight loss from the 3 day diet are the days following the 3 day diet. Many people over- eat on the subsequent days, and gain everything back. The trick is to eat normally on those 4 days, but in moderation. Make sure to check how many calories you need per day to maintain your weight and stay within those calories. How Does the 3 Day Diet Plan Work? The supposed secret behind this diet is the boosted fat burning and a unique metabolic reaction that is created by the combination of foods this plan suggests. Supposedly, this is how the 3 day diet plan food combinations help burn fat, cleanse the body, increase energy and lower cholesterol. However, in reality, the fact that the 3 day diet plan is very low in calories is probably the main reason that weight loss is achieved. As the name of this diet suggests, the 3 day diet plan has to be followed for 3 days, but can be resumed an indefinite number of times after taking a 4 to 5 days break of “normal eating”. The reason this diet recommends to resume the usual eating style is to prevent the metabolism from slowing down and reverting to starvation mode, which can lead to fat getting stored in the body and promoting weight gain. Caution. This diet is really hard, since basically you will be half starving yourself for 3 days. If you feel sick or dizzy, immediately stop the diet and take in more calories (in moderation). If you succeed with the diet, there is a very high risk of rebound weight gain for most people. Physically and mentally you will probably be craving LOTS of food. Mostly likely, unhealthy food. On the first day after you finish the diet (which is the 4th day), satisfy your craving for food by eating a good volume of vegetables and meat, with limited carbs. Do NOT go out and have a large burger with fries, etc. If you have cravings for high- volume food, choose meat and vegetables, not carbs. When you go on such a restrictive diet, there is a risk of psychological longing for unhealthy foods. You may “dream” about all the pizzas, burgers, cakes, and cookies you will eat once the diet is over. This psychological longing often results in your consuming those fattening foods in higher volumes after the diet than before you went on the diet. Especially after the diet, be diligent about keeping the portions of those fattening foods small. If you can’t stop eating them, eat them in small portions spread out over the week. After The 3 Day Diet. You should have a plan in place for maintaining your weight after the 3 day diet. If you go back to your old ways, you may gain the weight back. For some people, the 3 day diet may be a “kick- start” diet after which they plan to go on a more sustainable long- term diet.
