Abstract

The present invention provides an appetite suppression composition added to coffee, whereby the composition includes a synergistic combination of egg yolk protein sugar and milk protein that imparts appetite suppression over 4-6 hours.

Claims

1. A composition for suppressing appetite comprising: a suppressant composition consisting of egg yolk, sugar and milk protein, whereby the ratio of egg yolk protein:sugar:milk protein is 1:3.5-5.5:2.5-3.0; said suppressant composition added to coffee q.s. of 160 ml.

2. The composition of claim 1 whereby the ratio of egg yolk protein:sugar:milk protein is 1:3.8-5.2:2.8-3.0.

3. The composition of claim 1 whereby coffee is provided as 51 ml espresso and q.s. water to 160 ml total.

4. The composition of claim 2 whereby coffee is provided as 51 ml espresso and q.s. water to 160 ml total.

5. A composition for suppressing appetite consisting of: a suppressant composition consisting of egg yolk, sugar and milk protein, whereby the ratio of egg yolk protein:sugar:milk protein is 1:3.8-5.2:2.8-3.0; and said suppressant composition added to 14-21 ml of red wine with an alcohol content between 12% and 15% and coffee q.s. of 160 ml.

6. A method of providing appetite suppression for 4-6 hours, said method comprising the steps of: preparing a composition of claim 1; administering said composition to a person, whereby said administering includes complete consumption of 160 ml in 10-15 minutes.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0030] 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.

[0031] The suppressant composition is a single egg yolk that has approximately 2.7 g protein and 4.51 g fat.

[0032] 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.

[0033] In one embodiment, the coffee is 51 ml espresso with q.s. water to 160 ml total.

[0034] 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.

[0035] In one embodiment, it has been discovered the addition of red wine introduces tannins that enhance the synergistic effect.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.
