Coffee with a small amount of healthy fat mixed into it. Some people add MCT. Energy and satiety without an insulin response. Google the term and you'll find a website. I ordered the site owner's toxin-free coffee. It was good, but too expensive for me to continue using.

As you can see, people are adding much more than a "small amount" of healthy fat. I am no longer counting calories on Paleo/Primal, but the way I understand it -- this fat is going to be used as fuel, NOT stored. The idea is to load up on these healthy fats with your coffee first thing in the morning, and enjoy being more satisfied the rest of the day.

jenna, check out the bulleproof exec website that comes up when you search... it is really interesting, and seems to be quite the "new thing".

I've been having it twice a day for about a week now, just using the coconut oil, ghee, and organic coffee I already had here. I don't get shaky from my coffee at all anymore... which is great. I think the major increase in fat has really helped my moods, too. Can't say much for energy at this point, as we have all been sick with a virus for a few days, which feels like an eternity. I am at that point where I don't even remember what it feels like to feel good.

It's relative. I don't believe there's a canonical recipe. A guy came up with it after hiking in Tibet or somewhere after being given a drink with yak milk. If I added the amounts of fat usually recommended I wouldn't have room for much else .

I'm also not convinced that eating that much fat is healthy. I tend to exercise prudence.

I've not heard of this and have been using a good dollop of heavy cream each morning. Since cream is considered a fat in Primal- isn't this sort of the same thing? I find that the cram tames the bitterness of the coffee and also fills me up and gives me energy from the fat. Curious about the butter/coconut blend though... can anyone explain the benefits of this rather than cream? Thanks!
