I'm about halfway through the book (really slow reader) and I haven't gotten to that part about breakfast. I really love my coffee and do just fine without breakfast but today I noticed that I was getting a headache in a meeting I was in. As soon as I ate around 1:00 pm, I felt a lot better. So I might try the idea of breakfast, even if it's just a hardboiled egg to see if I feel better.

I don't follow everything to a tee, just like caribougal said. I tend to play with what works, and typically don't even eat with a deficit on most days. I eat to hunger, and if that's more than my allotted 1600 calories a day, I don't really sweat it.

You might want to try tweaking your calories and eating to hunger without restriction of overall calories for a week to see how your body reacts, and if you continue to lose. When I did it, I didn't lose or gain, but another time I did it while on Whole30, I continued to lose over a lb a day eating close to 3000 calories a day, and almost 250 grams of fat.

good book. I believe them except for their stance on alcohol.

I encourage you to not try to count calories especially if you have a 600 calorie BP coffee. It will drive you silly. I'd rather you satiated than deprived.

In my mind, and my body agrees, Bulletproof coffee IS a breakfast. I still have a tendency to stick with my coffee and full fat cream most often. Sometimes a whey shake with coconut milk or almond mild or whatever (which I don't have until 10am or later). Too lazy in the morning and all I want is coffee and quiet time. lol

I'm not a big fan of breakfast; never have been. But now that I eat no grains, legumes, sugar, etc I can skip meals (intermittent fasting) and not be driven to binge at night. So I skip breakfast if I want to, or eat if I want to. No biggie.

I haven't read that book yet, but I'll add it to my wish list. I agree with other people commenting who say that books and other people's ideas are good resources, but not always the only way. I really do my own thing but call it primal/paleo/low carb etc just for ease of talking to others about it.

Loved the book, found it very interesting and common-sense. I'm now on Day 19 of the Whole 30 at the moment and feel fantastic!

I've struggled with the no alcohol, as I love a few glasses of red wine every week! My issue is that my "few" tend to turn into quite a few :drinker: I also love my 85% dark chocolate, but I figured it wouldn't kill me to go without it for a month just to see what happens. I've been eating 100% cocoa with berries and/or kiwi fruit and coconut milk instead for a nice sweet treat.
FYI - Frozen blueberries sprinkled with cocoa and some coconut milk poured over tastes divine...the coconut milk sorta "sets" like ice cream on the berries.

I've dropped a pants size in the 19 days, I've noticed a big difference in the size of my stomach/waist. My weigh-in/body fat measurement after the 30 days (for curiosity's sake) will be interesting to see...

LOVE the book.

I agree with Mike. Don't count cals. They actually talk about that. If you want your bulletproof coffee AND actual food than do that but don't worry about calorie counts. Just listen to your body and eat again when your hungry!
