I have done that the past 10 days or so and have found I am not hungry until much later than any other day, even those when I had a high fat bfast.0 -
Some times I just do not feel like eating at all. This is a good time for me to include the BPC in my WOE. If I am in a hurry to get out of the house in the morning is another good use. And some times I just have not had enough calories fat in my day so I might add a cup of BPC and I interchange it with tea or coffee. Both are good. Love it with Bengal Spice tea.0

Some people use it as a meal replacement in the morning, on the theory that consuming fats only (no protein or carbs) prevents an insulin response, and this preserves some of the benefits of being in the "fasted" state. The caffeine and fats in the BPC help keep you from feeling hungry until later in the day, when you then eat solid food.
That is one school of thought --- however a BPC is still ~300 calories, and so while it may have little affect on insulin, those calories still need to be dealt with, and some think that ingesting a large amount of calories breaks the fasted state regardless.
It's also used as a way to make coffee "creamy" for those who don't do milk or cream.0 -
I'm not a coffee drinker and really don't care for tea. Could I use coco?

I don't see why not, just make sure your cocoa base doesn't have a ton of carbs. coconut chocolate sounds good actually0 -

Hmmmm...this has me thinking about trying this w/ some SF fruit flavored jello (omitting coffee, of course). Another kind of fat bomb...

Anything with carbs will spike insulin and negate the benefits of the fasted state in that respect.
But it could potentially still be used as a meal replacement for overall caloric budgeting.0 -
Does anyone else drink BPC and not feel full? I've been doing Keto for about a year and 4 months (I did not stay on track every single day), however when I drink BPC it does not make me feel full at all. I've tried it with an extra tablespoon of butter or coconut oil, or even MTC oil and no difference. I wish it kept me full until noon!0

How much are you drinking? Fat only goes so far, the volume might help if you increased the coffee.

10 oz coffee w/1 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp kerry gold butter, 2 tbsp hwc0

How many hours from BPC to lunch? I mean, the magic/hack/whatchamacalit of BPC is one thing, but the other thing is that you're still only talking 300 calories. There's only so far that can take you.
I don't break fast 'til 1p but I do drink regular coffee, so from my perspective most of the appetite blunting effect of BPC is from the caffeine not the fats. I could see how the fat-only BPC could provide some benefits to people who are used to cereal and toast and juice and donuts ... hundreds and hundreds of carb carbs and no protein ... but still for a lot of people I think there's going to be some hunger.0 -
I typically drink BPC on the way to work at about 6:45 am and by 8:30 or 9am I am hungry. Typically I just drink HWC w/my coffee because I seem to go the same amount of time and then have a snack in between. I've just heard so many people say that BPC will carry them through to lunch (my Fiance included he can go several hours before feeling hungry), I wish that was the case for me.0

holy crap that sounds good. Can you give some rations on that? i.e., how much coffee?
Love your name. makes me snicker.0 -
BPC works on those days when you do not feel hungry. It extends that 'morning not hungry feeling', it's warm, and caffeine is involved. it extends, for me, the morning not wanting to eat mood.
I don't have that mood every morning through, so for me, it only works on those days, and it's a nice treat.
Also i have a commercial emulsion blender-i think it really helps suspend the oil through out the coffee keeping it smooth...i don't get the same full feeling when i try just slapping some coconut oil in my regular coffee and stirring.

Same, it also looks super fancy in a glass mug, so much so that I could serve it to guests. Just skip telling them it has all that fat first0 -

Oh how brilliant! Why did I not think of that. Of course I also didn't realize you kinda need a blender to bring out all the heavenly goodness. What a difference a few seconds in the magic bullet make! Was so sad our hydro was out today and I couldn't make one. Coffee is just not the same without it.
I started to drink it to get my calories up. Now I've lost weight and my limits are much lower but I drink it because I love it. It is the one thing that is always figured into my macros first, then everything else. 0
