I know when to turn down cake at the office and eat salads for plenty of meals. Thing is, the scale doesn\u2019t always reflect that. My weight fluctuates like crazy, and I have the range of clothing in sizes 4 to 10 in my closet to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I noticed I was creeping up towards the larger end of my closet and knew it was time to get down to business. I\u2019d seen <em>so<\/em> much buzz about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bulletproof.com\/what-is-bulletproof-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Bulletproof Diet<\/a> out there and decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Deal With The Bulletproof Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/bulletproof-coffee-keto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bulletproof Coffee<\/a>, the concoction that involves blending butter or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/keto-hq\/N-cp99xz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ghee<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/keto-hq\/N-cp99xz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MCT oil<\/a> into your cup of Joe? I bet you have.<\/p>\n<p>Well, turns out, this fatty coffee is a staple of a larger eating plan, called The Bulletproof Diet. Created by \u2018biohacker\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bulletproof.com\/about-dave-asprey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave Asprey<\/a>, Bulletproof is all about losing fat while and maintaining muscle and decreasing inflammation, balancing hormones and blood sugar, and boosting energy and cognitive function.<\/p>\n<p>To make the magic happen, you majorly slash carbs, cut out inflammatory foods (like processed sugar, grains, and legumes), and load up on lots of healthy fats and vegetables. Instead of counting calories, you focus on eating (and eliminating) the <em>right<\/em> foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-of-inflammation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>6 Signs You Have Inflammation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though I\u2019ve always been a little wary of diets that require eliminating major food groups (I\u2019m more of the \u2018everything in moderation\u2019 type), Bulletproof claims it can help you lose up to a pound a day, feel better than ever, and conquer cravings\u2014and that certainly appealed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Going Bulletproof<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To prep for my Bulletproof experiment, I took to Instagram and the internet to learn as much as I could about the diet. I printed out Asprey\u2019s \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bulletproof.com\/the-complete-illustrated-one-page-bulletproof-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bulletproof roadmap<\/a>\u2019 to reference when I wasn\u2019t sure about what I could and couldn\u2019t eat. (There are a lot more rules than you\u2019d think! You\u2019re not even supposed to microwave food…)<\/p>\n<p>After saving a few meals that sounded good, I hit the grocery store with my roadmap in-hand.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Week One<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Disclaimer: I always find the first week of a diet to be the easiest, since I kick off with so much motivation that I can power through the tough times.<\/p>\n<p>I charged into my first week of Bulletproof with exactly that mindset: determined to ace the plan, boost my energy, and watch the scale go down.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest challenge ended up being breakfast. Before Bulletproof, I always ate the same thing in the morning: oatmeal with fruit. Considering oats are off-the-table on Bulletproof\u2014and fruit should be limited to about a serving per day, I had to find a new A.M. meal.<\/p>\n<p>Bulletproof encourages healthy fats and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-powders\/N-cp99j4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein<\/a> for breakfast, so I opted for two sunny-side-up eggs cooked in the brand\u2019s grass-fed ghee, along with some avocado and a Bulletproof Coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I didn\u2019t <em>love<\/em> the fat-filled coffee. I\u2019m definitely more of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbal-teas\/N-cp99me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tea<\/a> person\u2014but when I do drink coffee, I like it with milk and sugar, so Bulletproof coffee just tasted off. But, knowing it was a cornerstone of the diet, I drank it down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/anti-inflammatory-food-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>4 Types Of Food That Fight Inflammation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the week, I noticed I needed a few extra minutes to whip up my breakfast than usual, and had to adjust my schedule a bit to accommodate that.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, lunch and dinner were pretty easy. I stuck with salads for lunch (making sure any add-ons were Bulletproof-friendly) and paired a protein with lots of veggies for dinners. One favorite: zoodles with meatballs.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"22735\"

found myself hungry around mid-afternoon, I swapped my usual piece of fruit for a Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bar. The bar always filled me up, but didn\u2019t quite satisfy like my fresh fruit. (I know fruit can have a lot of sugar, but c\u2019mon, it\u2019s natural!)<\/p>\n<p>As I adjusted to eating fewer carbs and more healthy fats, I found myself going to bed a little hungry a few times, but otherwise had no complaints. Sure, I missed sugar and carbs (who wouldn\u2019t), but my determination kept me from caving.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Week Two<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By my second week on Bulletproof, I realized continued success would require careful meal planning and grocery shopping. Luckily, trips to the supermarket were quick, since I walked right past most of the aisles containing snacks and grains\u2014but my Seamless days were over!<\/p>\n<p>Though I found plenty of recipes on social media, I just didn\u2019t have much time or energy to cook during the week, so, for the sake of simplicity, I stuck with my original eats.<\/p>\n<p>Still this week, I found myself craving carbs and sweets, which was a struggle considering most sweet stuff is off-limits on Bulletproof.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"22736\"

I sipped on some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/green-tea\/N-cp99mf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">green tea<\/a> (oddly the only type of tea encouraged on the diet) to give myself a boost, which helped a bit. In retrospect, though, I realized my lunchtime salads probably didn\u2019t contain enough healthy fats to compensate for the carbs I\u2019d slashed. Lesson learned: You have to up your fat a <em>lot<\/em> to feel its fueling benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The other pain point that popped up: eating out. Ordering a plain chicken breast at a fantastic Italian restaurant while everyone else twirled delicious pasta really sucked the fun out of eating out. I had a hard time finding something Bulletproof-friendly on many a menu.<\/p>\n<p>The result: I tried to eat out less the rest of the month, which forced me to get more creative in the kitchen and have fun with my food!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Weeks Three And Four<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Throughout the last two weeks on Bulletproof, I still didn\u2019t notice any significant changes in my energy. An, honestly, I still missed my morning oatmeal a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Though my ability to turn down pizza and desserts grew easier, some social situations made it virtually impossible to stick with the diet.<\/p>\n<p>One example: a friend’s bridal shower, which had a fixed menu. I either had to break the diet or not eat. Everything looked delicious, and I didn\u2019t want to be rude, so I did my best to avoid the crust on the quiche and pass on wine.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, I was starting to feel lighter!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>One Month Bulletproof<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When the one-month mark rolled around, I realized that my afternoon slumps had finally become less slumpy. Also, the bloating I used to experience here and there had disappeared. (A sign of lower inflammation, perhaps?)<\/p>\n<p>I felt darn proud of myself for sticking to Bulletproof pretty closely all month long. However, looking back, I wondered if pumping my meals with more healthy fats would have helped me feel more satisfied and energized throughout the day\u2014and ultimately boosted my results.<\/p>\n<p>When I stepped on the scale, I was a bit disappointed to find I\u2019d lost exactly 5.2 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Though I won\u2019t continue with super-strict Bulletproof eating now that my month is up, I will carry some of its principles with me moving forward. For one, I will try to keep carbs low, since it\u2019s a proven way to shed pounds. I will, however, definitely bring fruit and some whole grains back into my life.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully taking this modified approach will help me keep the weight off while enjoying some more flexibility!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Diggin\u2019 What\u2019s Good?
