People are constantly seeking safe and effective appetite suppressants. Pharmaceutical options exist but often come with side effects. Numerous nutritional supplements are commercially available but they are unregulated and there is a sad history of permeant damage with prolonged use. One well-known suppressant is the simple cup of coffee. While generally effective, it has a drawback of digestive agitation and irregular effectiveness. There is a need for a safe and effective simple appetite suppressant.
The present invention addresses this issue.
While coffee is now available in many flavors and with many combinations of ingredients, none of the known combinations both suppress the appetite and provide for a drink imparting minimal digestive agitation.
The present invention has discovered a suppressant composition having a unique ratio imparting a synergistic effect whereby safe and effective appetite suppression is achieved.
The invention relies on the critical synergistic ratio of the suppressant composition whereby the ratio imparts the desired results of appetite suppression of 4-6 hours and further reduces known digestive agitation of coffee alone.
The additives are a suppressant composition of egg yolk, sugar, and milk protein.
The ratio discovered in the present application is presented:
In one embodiment, the ratio is
In another embodiment, the ratio is
In one embodiment, the invention is a composition for suppressing appetite comprising:
In one embodiment, the coffee is provided as 51 ml espresso and q.s. water to 160 ml total.
In one embodiment, the coffee is provided as 51 ml espresso and q.s. water to 160 ml total.
In one embodiment, the invention is a composition for suppressing appetite consisting of:
In one embodiment, the invention is a composition for suppressing appetite consisting of:
In one embodiment, the invention is a method of providing appetite suppression for 4-6 hours, said method comprising the steps of:
In one embodiment, the invention is a method of providing appetite suppression for 4-6 hours, said method consisting of the steps of:
The present invention is an appetite suppressant added to coffee. While coffee alone is known to have some appetite suppressant effects, it often imparts a caffeine crash and digestive agitation. The present invention addresses these shortcomings.
The suppressant composition is a single egg yolk that has approximately 2.7 g protein and 4.51 g fat.
A single yolk is combined with between 10.35 g and 14.3 g of sugar and 49 ml milk, whereby the milk has 8-8.5 g protein. This mixture is combined with coffee to a quantity of 160 ml total.
In one embodiment, the coffee is 51 ml espresso with q.s. water to 160 ml total.
In this system, a synergistic ratio of Egg yolk protein:sugar:milk protein is present and imparts appetite suppression 4-6 hours and reduces digestive effects normally associated with coffee drinks.
In one embodiment, it has been discovered the addition of red wine introduces tannins that enhance the synergistic effect.
The MCP (methyl cellulose precipitable) tannin assay is commonly used to determine tannin level in red wine. Red wine with an alcohol content between 12% and 15% typically exhibit MCP measured Tannin levels between 0.5-4.0 g/l.
The present invention has discovered addition of between 14.00 ml to 22.00 ml of red wine with an alcohol content between 12% and 15% enhances the synergistic effect of the suppressant composition.
While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
