4. Try putting butter in your coffee. The best butter to use is natural grass fed butter like Kerrygold butter.   You can also add coconut oil. Use a hand held blender to blend the 3 together in a separate large cup. Pour the mix in to a coffee cup and to get a little bit more of a health benefit sprinkle ceylon cinnamon on top. This coffee will keep you feeling full for several hours.

5. Eat dark chocolate. Make sure it is high quality dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants. A couple of bits will take your sweet tooth away too.
