The Golden One - Biohacking and Health Update： Coffee and Intermittent Fasting

00:00:00.000 A trusted friend told me that he misses the narcissism in my videos and I think

00:00:09.040 he might have a point so I will try to be less humble. I've been too humble as of late so I will

00:00:14.880 start being a bit more narcissistic. It is after all my way and speaking of which I want to remind

00:00:21.600 you of something that I am in fact you're a big guy for you. I was on guide to culture yesterday

00:00:29.120 and we talked about Batman so yeah I was in some Bane posting mode. So anyway this is just a

00:00:34.820 general health update. If you've been following me on Instagram you've seen that I've taken a few

00:00:40.480 of my butter coffees. I made a recipe on it last year for Games Kitchen. I can link it below if

00:00:47.280 you want. So basically it's you know regular coffee and then a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of

00:00:53.920 coconut oil. So I've actually started having this every day now and I will get to the reason in a

00:01:01.080 minute but I also wanted to make this video because I have talked about intermittent fasting and coffee

00:01:06.880 before so this is sort of like an update for those videos. You can find both videos on my channel if

00:01:11.920 you search. So basically intermittent fasting is something I've done over many years but since I

00:01:17.700 have this butter coffee in the morning it's technically not intermittent fasting anymore

00:01:21.920 but since it is only fat basically I'm still in ketosis so I still have that benefit at least but

00:01:28.300 technically speaking I'm no longer doing intermittent fasting simply because I have

00:01:32.720 that coffee. And to recap the coffee video I made a while back a year ago. I went off coffee for

00:01:40.080 a few months six months then I started having a coffee each week and then I experimented a bit with

00:01:47.800 how I perform best. Is it a coffee once a week or once a day or something and I decided upon having

00:01:54.560 a coffee once a day is the optimal and then I might have a pre-workout or perhaps a small coffee

00:02:00.480 in the afternoon or something if I have slept poorly or something. But back in the day I used to have

00:02:06.120 four or five coffees even in a day. That was too much and so I decided to go off completely

00:02:11.640 and now I have settled upon yeah one cup or perhaps two cups one big in the morning and

00:02:17.940 one smaller in the afternoon or a pre-workout. You have Vårsbryggd if you are in Sweden of course the

00:02:23.940 best pre-workout on the market. Now I will say also that if you do drink coffee in the morning

00:02:30.000 I personally I wait one hour before drinking it. So I wake up at maybe seven or eight then I wait an hour

00:02:37.920 so if I wake up at seven I drink it at eight o'clock in the morning because you are you already have

00:02:43.540 quite a bit of cortisol when you wake up especially if you expose yourself to some good light you will

00:02:48.720 have those hormones working for you anyway so it's unnecessary to have the coffee the first thing in 1.00

00:02:53.800 the morning. So if you take your first cup perhaps you're at your work or something you can do your

00:02:59.380 regular routine get to work have that coffee or if you're working from home just wait an hour until you

00:03:04.900 have it and that's also really nice because then you have something to look forward to. So that is

00:03:10.120 my update on coffee basically one coffee each day that's how I perform best and that's also the best

00:03:16.080 for my you know pleasure of life and that's also the main reason I'd say that I take this bulletproof

00:03:22.700 coffee in the morning. It's just something I enjoy so much it makes me feel so good as well it's something

00:03:28.280 I look forward to and you know as I posted on Instagram the other day just having that coffee in the

00:03:33.720 sun. Yeah true luxury true luxury indeed so that is why I use that coffee pure bliss of life so to

00:03:42.860 speak and then I also feel you know my energy levels really really solid and smooth throughout the day.

00:03:50.400 I will say though if you are cutting or if you are if you can't afford so many calories it is a lot

00:03:58.040 of calories in this particular recipe so be cautious if you're trying to get shredded it might be better

00:04:03.100 to just have a black coffee. So yeah keep that in mind but for me as I said in the beginning I'm a big

00:04:10.100 guy so I have you know quite a bit of calories to spend to get up to my maintenance level and then

00:04:16.040 if I train and if I go on a walk etc I can spend even more. So for me it is acceptable and I don't

00:04:22.480 know if I will keep doing it when I start to get shredded for the summer. Time will tell I will

00:04:28.160 keep you updated. So yeah that's basically how I am doing it right now. Technically not intermittent

00:04:33.320 fasting anymore because I have coffee. It just brings me so much joy and pleasure in my life so I

00:04:38.020 decided to keep it. So yeah that's my health update and if you want training updates you can head over

00:04:44.480 to my Patreon or Subscribestar. I have just posted a another neck routine if you want to become a human

00:04:52.260 toad. I don't like pit bulls so that's why I call it a human toad instead of a human pit bull. If you

00:04:59.120 wonder what kind of dogs I like I like the more natural dogs so a Siberian husky or a border collie or

00:05:04.860 Australian shepherd or something like that but I don't like pit bulls and I don't think any one of you

00:05:08.880 like it either so we say something else to you know have a thick neck instead of a pit bull. Anyway that 0.75

00:05:15.000 is a completely different topic. So anyway I'll see you on Patreon. Have a great week ahead. XOXO. Boom!
