So what is this miracle herb?
Cinnamon!
Honestly, for years this has been one of my favourite herbs to cook with and it’s great knowing the fantastic benefits of cinnamon.
One of the first human studies was published in 2003 in a medical journal called Diabetes Care. Sixty people with type 2 diabetes took 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon in pill form daily, an amount roughly equivalent to one quarter of a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. After 40 days, all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29%.
What does this mean to you?
By controlling your blood sugar levels, you are allowing your body to produce less insulin. One of the biggest factors in packing on the fat is high insulin levels. So… Reduce your insulin levels and you can reduce your fat!
How do you use cinnamon to reduce your fat? Eat it!
Buy cinnamon powder (without sugar) and use it as often as possible in your cooking. You can put it on your oats, smoothies, yoghurt, etc. I LOVE cinnamon when I make a beef mince dish. I also tend to sprinkle it on beef that I roast. The smell of it cooking all day long is mouth watering.
Yesterday, we started experimenting with a cinnamon drink. It’s delicious. Boil 3 tbsp of cinnamon and 1Tbsp of baking soda in 1L of water. Drink throughout the day. Sounds funny, but it’s yummy. Give it a try, especially if you are craving sweets.
Cinnamon has some very great benefits for you and is so easy to add into your diet. You don’t need much to get the benefits of it. The study here showed that even 1/4 of a teaspoon made a difference.
If you are on medications (especially for diabetes) please consult your doctor before any major changes to your diet or supplementation. Blood glucose levels can dip too low, so be safe.
Where are you going to eat your cinnamon today?
To your fat loss,
