Will bulletproof coffee block the autophagy effect of fasting?

In fact, quite a few people use bulletproof coffee for fasting. At this time, it is easy to ask whether bulletproof coffee will block fasting (the autophagy effect of stopping fasting).


The answer is not necessarily, but generally speaking, under the normal formula, the effect is not big.


If you drink a large cup of bulletproof coffee, more than 300~400 calories, yes, this will stop the body's autophagy effect, but if you are a tablespoon of cream, MCT oil or coconut oil, the effect is not big. Theoretically, it will not affect, but everyone’s situation is different, and there will still be the following variables.


1. Total calories: After taking a certain level of calories, the body will stop autophagy.


2. Health status: Young people are not the same as old people. When young, the body is prone to autophagy.


3. Exercise can drive the autophagy effect: the premise is that if it can recover, otherwise it will only accumulate cortisol.


4. Duration of fasting: The longer the fasting time, the better the effect.


5. Insulin: When the body secretes insulin, it starts to block the autophagy effect



Summary: If you are in a normal state and drink a cup of bulletproof coffee with a normal formula, the impact should not be significant. You can test it yourself. How to confirm whether the autophagy effect is working?

P.S. In addition, vitamin D has a very good effect on autophagy, so please spend more time in the sun (fat sun exposure will produce vitamin D)
