Bulletproof: The Cookbook: Lose Up to a Pound a Day, Increase Your Energy, and End Food Cravings for Good

Already wrote a review for the diet book, saying to buy both together to fully follow the Bulletproof lifestyle. The recipes are tasty and the four I’ve tried are quick and simple. For example the Kale Carbonara the only skill required is cracking and separating an egg so not difficult as a reviewer said. Originally followed the recommendation of Tom Watson the ex-Labour Deputy Leader. It was a good recommendation. Had the Bulletproof Coffee and was fuelled until I had a late lunch at 3 without hunger. Also not too expensive. For example 2 cucumbers 50p 5 avocados £1 from a market stall. Many days of chilled soup and guacamole. Eat to the season and check out the reduced cabinet for grass-fed named breed mince like Aberdeen Angus from Tesco and Hereford from Co-op. It’s doable if you’re flexible in your meal plans. No liver. A big omission as that’s a nutrition powerhouse, but in the first book Mr Asprey says he doesn’t like liver. Lots of alternative recipes for comfort food treats. Brought second hand - impeccable condition.

"Based on what evidence" was what I was thinking when I was reading the book. It could have done with lists of sources for his claims, some of which shows his lack of knowledge about certain subjects. GMO springs to mind immediately.It would be really useful if the author had provided sound reasoning and evidence for his assertions other than "Toxins bad" (we know this) and "Hey, it felt good to eat this thing" (Fair, I eat things that feel good too) and "Hey buy my stuff, buy all the Bulletproof stuff"...Jus' sayin'...It really felt like a glorified ad for his bulletproof products. Which is fine, if that is what it is.I gave it two stars because it does have recipes in it, and he does recommend some things that are accurate, such as eating organic and local. Other than that, not really worth getting, get a proper cook book like "Feeding Hannibal" instead. It will be much more satisfying.

Nice cook book, well written, but what a shame that it only uses american measure units and unnecessarily long ingredients names (like 'upgraded, mould free, something something vanilla powder like Bulletproof VanillaMax' or thereabout). Dificulties don't end there - some products are meant to be powders but we only have them in solid or liquid form in the UK, so measurements are on spoons instead gramms - wqhere it could have easily been both. Some other veg ingredients are oddly named for the UK market.

Impressive collection of fairly simple-to-make healthy recipes. Worth every penny. I’ve cleared many of my old cookery books out and this one is now my favourite. I’ve already got hooked on the Bulletproof coffee. If health through nutrition is your concern, I’d recommend this highly. Word of warning though - it’s meant for an American audience so I’ve had to anglicise the recipes i.e. the oven temps are all in farenheight and some of the vegetables are in the American form eg: rutabaga, which is swede in the UK. A small inconvenience and soon sorted with a pencil. 👍

Having been bulletproof for several months, I have to say I was disappointed in this book. I would say save your money and have google as your friend! Nothing wrong with the book or recipes, but you can easily find them or similar on the internet.
