What's a Fat Bomb??????

2f2f · 01-30-2013, 08:44 AM

I have read several posts where people are eating them, just what exactly are they and what is the recipe?

Fat Bombs, Where Have You Been All My Life?

Fat Bombs are Da Bomb! :)

Fat Bombs

My PERSONAL recipe is:

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup CO.
1/2 cup freshly ground PB
1 tsp SEA SALT.
1 tsp-equivalent Stevia (though I leave it out, just as often)

Nuke until melted. Stir well. Pour (using my 1/8 cup spoon, which equals 2 TBS) into 12 silicone muffin-forms. Freeze. (Freezing takes about 10 minutes.)

I was finding that the part I liked best was the PB on the bottom... because it's SALTY. So I started salting them, and it made a huge difference.

A lot of folks make these sweet, and add chocolate, or some-such. For me, it's not a candy... it's a hunk of fuel.

They're INTENSELY satisfying.

Thank you for the reply. I may have to try these!

1 stick unsalted butter
1 pkg cream cheese
splash vanilla
liquid splenda to taste (I use 20 drops)

Mix well, drop on silicone baking sheet, and freeze. I store them in the fridge though. Taste like little cheesecake bites to me.

Ooh that sounds good - I really don't care for CO (i know, i know) AND I have some SF Kahlua DaVinci's i could use.....

Will try and report my success or failure!

Do people on here see success without using the coconut oil and replacing it with another "fat"? Not a huge fan of CO. Just wondering. Thank you!

I had the same question...

LiterateGriffin · 02-03-2013, 03:21 PM

Try it with just the butter.

First time I did Atkins, back BC (Before Children), I'd never even bought CO. While we like CO for its special health-benefits, butter is a perfectly fine fat, capable of supplying energy just like CO is.

If it's the taste you don't like (I don't) get the refined CO. Not even a hint of coconut flavor. I even cook eggs in a combination of that and butter.

I gave my sister some of the recipes and she makes them to what she likes.

I think you can make a fat bomb to your liking. I might be wrong but isn't it to up your fat?

elainesmith · 02-04-2013, 01:09 PM

why do you want to up your fat?

I know the coconut oil is good for you and some say causes weight loss to increase....but what else are the bombs good for?

Dietary fat signals satiation to your body -- it tells your body you've had enough to eat, and sends "Anti-hunger" signals.
Dietary fat increases your metabolism, and encourages ketosis.
Dietary fat improves your lipid-profile and reduces your chances of heart disease.
Dietary fat provides prolonged energy -- particularly useful before physical activity.

Generally, if you are on LC and you are hungry, you need more fat. This is a quick way to get that.
