The cinnamon and honey trick
Have you heard about the cinnamon and honey trick?
I first heard of it from a fitness group on the Internet and decided to investigate a bit further. It is well known for many that cinnamon is said to speed up our metabolism. But combined with honey it is supposed to have even better effect.
Several people say that this little trick has worked for them to lose weight.
So what do you do then, that is probably what you want to know.
According to the Weight-loss advisor you mix one tsp of honey together with half a tsp of cinnamon in a cup and pour over hot/boiled water. Let it stand for half an hour then filter the water through a normal coffee filter.
Drink one half before breakfast and the other half after dinner.
I´m not sure but with all the crazy or unimaginable diets out there, why wouldn´t this work?
This is supposed to really help you lose weight and several people says that it has worked for them.
Curious as I am I might even try it just to see if it actually works, I will have to get back to you on this.
Do you believe it works?
Love this stuff, my husband is diabetic and we’ve been doing this for 5 days and he feels better now than ever.
I have been drinking this cinnamon honey mixture for the past more than two months but not reduced even half a kg so far.I am very much disappointed about it. I dont know why it is not effective to me but many people claim it worked for them.
I heard that you should not put the honey in the HOT water-just the cinnamon and when coold\ed then add the honey, something to do with destroying the enzymes of honey with boiled water??
Wish it was that simple. My instinct tells me this is just another useless fad. I personally haven’t tried it (maybe I will start today and post again in the future to tell you that it is, indeed, a miracle product?!), but if it were that easy, wouldn’t the human race (pharmaceutical companies especially) have been seriously onto it long before now? Cinnamon and honey taste good, and I know how much I love cinnamon essential oil in the bathtub, but let’s stop kidding ourselves. The cold, hard truth is that the only real way to lose body fat is to absorb less calories than you are burning on any given day…or get liposuction, I guess ;)
I started the cinnamon & Honey 2 days ago and im not as swollen,sleep better. I also mixed it together and gave it to my husband he was coughing so bad, he hasn’t cough in 2 days.
I don’t like cinnamon that much. I mean, just smelling it makes me feel nauseating.
Cinnamon has long been known to have properties that affect glucose control, and honey has anti-infection & anti-inflammatory properties (the ancient Egyptians used it for wound healing). Combined, they probably work to reduce the kind of inflammation that contributes to insulin resistance, and will help people lose weight if insulin resistance is part of the issue. If it’s not, though, I can’t see where it would be effective. There’s no one-size-fits-all magic bullet when it comes to weight loss.
I started drinking the cinnamon and honey mixture 2 1/2 days ago. I put 1/2 tsp cinnamon in boiling water to dissolve then later added 1 tsp of honey after it had cooled. I don’t know if it’s coincidence but my appetite the last couple of days has definately been diminished and i’ve lost almost 1/2 pound. I don’t believe in fad diets and since honey & cinnamon are good for you anyway, I’m going to keep drinking this every morning and night. After all, it can’t hurt. : )
I have been taking the mixture morning and night before sleeping. I have noticed I am feeling more energetic and not lazy or sleepy. I have more energy to walk even for hours. Have not lost weight but its not a magic mixture. I will keep taking it.
The cinnamon and honey cause a cleansing effect in the digestive tract and cleans out parasites and other fungus and bacteria that slow down the digestion causing a toxic build up. (Lowers pH) Once this is all cleaned out then you’ll most likely have the weight loss slow down.
Some people report increased energy, more sex drive, and feeling happier&mood enhancer.
