Well, i'm a little disappointed.. yesterday I drank my BPC atabout 8:30-9AM (got up a 7) and by 11:30 I needed to eat soemthing. I see a lot of people saying they didn't even think about food until 1pm. I know we are all different, but i'm wondering if it's more mental. I've eaten as soon as I've got up my entire life, so maybe i really wasn't as "hungry" as I thought I was.

I tried it again today and so far, I'm feeling pretty good.

I am still drinking it every morning and loving it. I think it really helps me not retain water. I am a little hungrier earlier now. Usually around 11:30 - 12 noon. I may up my coconut oil and see if they helps. Hope everyone is doing great!

I'm afraid that I'm messing it up by my "nibbles". Whenever I fix my kids breakfasts I'll always make miniature bites a long the way of their stuff. I can't help it! I guess that's messing with keeping me in the fasting state?

I tried it for the first time today and the same thing happened to me. Maybe I need to add more coffee, I just used an regular size cup in my K-cup machine, so roughly 8oz.

*Day 9 BPC update*

Okay, so I've been doing BPC every morning for 9 days now and these are my results:

• After the first 3 or 4 days, I've noticed a larger daily caloric defecit. During the first few days I had a tendency to make up for the feeling of fasting by eating larger portions later in the day. This may be because I have always been an "eat immediately upon waking" type person and it took a while to teach my brain that it isn't necessary. I'm now fine with eating a normal sized lunch and dinner.

• The BPC inadvertently made me adopt an IF regime. If it is true that BPC keeps you in a fasted state, then I am only eating during a 6-hour window, fasting the other 18-hours of the day. I only noticed this a few days ago.

• I snowboard as a hobby, everyday (with an odd day off here and there) right after my morning coffee and have no issues riding for 3-4 hours non-stop on the hill, getting home for a meal around 2 pm. I have not noticed any change in my energy levels as a result of taking away breakfast. Hunger has slightly decreased!

• This is by far my favorite result- Weight loss ! I no longer own a scale so unfortunately cannot say if I've lost any weight per se, but I did take measurements on day 1 of BPC and again this morning. I am down .5" off bust, .5" off waist, 1" off navel (yay!!) .5" off hips, thighs unchanged.

Not bad for just over one week! In fact I was ecstatic. Being in my healthy weight range already it's been a while since I've seen any positive changes.

I will add that I was unable to find organic butter, so Ive only been using 1.5 tbsp organic virgin coconut oil, which puts me about 100 cals less than what my old breakfast was. So not a huge difference there, certainly not enough to account for any major weight loss due to caloric defecit alone.

I think that's all I can say for now. I also feel very empowered by the fact that I am now finding it so easy to skip breakfast, as I have never thought that would be possible for me! I used to be ravenous in the mornings but that is no longer the case. Along with that comes the mindfulness of eating when I am truly hungry, and only until I am full. I feel like I'm taking on a whole new relationship with food that breaks a lot of the mental barriers I used to have.

If anyone is even remotely interested in trying this, I HIGHLY recommend it! Give it about a week and you might be very surprised at how easily you can recalibrate your relationship with food. For me it wasn't just about the health benefits of the fasting & the coconut oil as I'd initially thought it would be, it gave me a strong sense of self-control and power over my mental cravings.

Good luck kids

After lurking (sp) on this thread for about 3 weeks, I have finally tried the coffee. My recipe is 2Tbs Kerry's Gold butter, 1 Tbs Organic, unrefined virgin coconut oil, 1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powered. I added 1 packet of slenda and 2 Tbs of heavy cream. I have to have cream in my coffee. This is 435 calories which is about 50 to 100 less than my usual breakfast. Followed by 20oz glass of water. I'm excited to give this a try.

I was not hungry until 1:00pm yesterday. I didn't get to eat until about 1:30pm. I noticed I ate much less at that meal and stayed full until about 7pm. I ate just to eat to my minimum calories for the day of 1450. So I ended the night with well under my calories for the day.

Bump to read later

um, ok, I made this with coconut oil, butter, stevia & strong tea but I can't get it down. It's to emulsified, if you know what I mean.

Does anyone know a way to cut through that?

Has everyone fallen of the BPC wagon? LOL!

Nope - I drink it daily.

So I tried this for the first time on Saturday. I got up early, made my coffee and then spent 4 hours cleaning. LOL! I guess that's good. All in all, I had a pretty productive day.

Since I've been having trouble replacing my latte (as I find most coffee too bitter), I think I'll stick with this. I upped my unsweetened cocoa to two tablespoons and added 1 packet of Splenda. I may buy some sugar free vanilla syrup in the future and use a pump or two of that instead of the Splenda.
