Hack Hunger Hormones by Eating Fat First

Medium - Requires some preparation Recommended

You slump into the break room, eyes bleary, pondering the vending machine’s siren call: chips or granola bar? But today you remember the new hack—start with fat, not carbs. At home you toss grass-fed butter and a splash of MCT oil into your French press coffee and blend. Mid-blends, its hot creaminess cloaks your tongue. By the time you walk into court, you haven’t thought about food once. In meetings you’re alert, precise. No snack cravings, no dragging feet. Two hours later a soft hunger stirs—not a fake craving—but a genuine reminder to eat real food.

Start tomorrow by blending 1–2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter and MCT oil with your coffee. Notice how it banishes your morning hunger pangs and keeps you energized until lunchtime. Journal the difference between real hunger and a craving: you’ll see that eating fat first taps directly into hunger hormones, making willpower a relic of the past. Give it a try tomorrow morning.

What You'll Achieve

You’ll gain control over cravings and rid yourself of endless snacking, boosting focus and confidence. Externally, you’ll experience smoother energy curves, sharper concentration, and faster, effortless weight loss.

Skip carb-heavy cereals

Tomorrow morning, trade in oatmeal or toast for a rich, blended coffee: add 1–2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee and 1 tablespoon MCT oil. Skip all sugars and grains.

Listen to true hunger signals

After your fat-first drink, pay attention. Do you feel alert instead of drained? Only eat again when a gentle, 2-hour hunger arrives—not a craving or energy crash.

Journal your morning experience

Note how long you stay satiated and whether you avoid your usual mid-morning snack. Track any changes in mood or focus for the next week to see this hack’s power.
