Green + 30 Day Bullet Proof Experience

September 27, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 34 Comments

B U L L E T • P R O O F

A few weeks back, I told you all that I would share a bit about my bullet proof experience! I just completed my first 30 days and I haven’t looked back! Bullet proof is a high fat coffee made with brain octane, grass fed butter and we chose to put XCT oil in as well.

The diet encourages a high protein diet with “good” carbs + select fruit consumed in the evening. Grass fed and all organic is a huge plus. The other portion of the diet, I found a little more difficult, was the intermittent fasting. The idea is to fast 18 hours from your last meal. So if you last ate at 7 pm, you wouldn’t eat again until 1 pm in the afternoon the next day. I would say that I stuck to the bullet proof way of living 85% of the time over the past 30 days. The best part about this “diet” is that if I veered off one day I wouldn’t feel ruined for an entire week afterwards. There are a few more layers to the diet that I have not yet dove into yet, but if you’re interested in learning more or getting started on the bullet proof diet, read here.

Results: 

• Mental Clarity

• 5 pound weight loss

• More energy

• Increased ability to concentrate

• Cravings for sugar have decreased significantly

• Bloat is GONE (especially around my menstrual cycle, I typically look 5 months pregnant

*This shoot was a few weeks back and  I am smaller than pictured here!* Yay lol

I plan on giving a 60 day update because to be quite honest with you, I tend to try things for short periods of time (good experiences included) and I’m really trying hard to make this a part of my lifestyle. Consistency is very key in reaching any goal and if I’m going to be even more honest, since moving to CA 3 years ago, I gained about 20 pounds so I’m trying to pull that off in the process! 15 pounds away from goal now!! I went to Texas last week for a few days and I felt the difference not having Bullet Proof Coffee. I look forward to that cup of super power-packed energy in the morning!

Ladies, this dress!! I’m obsessed with green lately. I have no idea why but I just decided to branch out a little more with this color! I love how vibrant it is and how good it contrasts with my skin. Sometimes I like I need to go outside the box a little and have fun! But, yea this dress is a new fave and it was the best decision as far as an addition to my Fall wardrobe! Also, can we talk about this bag?!?! Bucket bag dreams! The wooden detail and the straps have me swooning!!! My shoes are from the Zara sale this summer! Lastly, Daniel Wellington just released cuffs that are the PERFECT match for your watch.  The are the most beautiful metallic silver, as you can see! Use code RUTHIE15 for 15% off any cuff at Daniel Wellington, now through December 30th!! I think that is it for now, friends!! As always, thank you so much for stopping by the blog!

Much love,

Ruthie XO

    My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your
    post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content
    for yourself? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write concerning here.
    Again, awesome web site!

  25. Damian says

    June 20, 2021 at 9:37 pm

    Unquestionably consider that which you stated. Your
    favourite justification seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to
    be mindful of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as
    people think about concerns that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out
    the entire thing without having side effect , people could take a
    signal. Will probably be again to get more.
    Thank you

She picked up too many details, which include how it is like to have an excellent giving nature to get many people effortlessly learn about various hard to do subject areas. You undoubtedly surpassed readers’ expected results. Many thanks for giving those practical, trustworthy, informative and fun tips on the topic to Tanya.

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩
