When thinking about cinnamon and weight loss, it is hard to believe there’s any relationship between the two. However, recent studies have shown a little bit of cinnamon added to your daily diet can contribute to your weight loss process. As more and more overweight people start realizing they can’t get steady, long-term results with those fad diets and exhausting workout routines, they seek for natural alternatives that don’t have such a negative impact on the body and on the weight loss motivation.
The Impact of Cinnamon Upon the Body
Cinnamon is a healthy spice, thanks to its effect of lowering the blood sugar and the bad cholesterol levels. As a result, you feel less hungry, thus tending to eat less than usual. This is how cinnamon and weight loss go hand in hand together. It seems that the effect of reducing blood sugar levels occurs even by soaking a stick of cinnamon into a cup of hot tea.
This discovery is very useful for people suffering from Type 2 diabetes. Those people still produce insulin, but they lost sensitivity to it. By taking cinnamon capsules, they can avoid some of the most frequent diabetes complications such as eye, kidney or nerve damage.
Since cinnamon prevents fat from accumulating in the cells, it actively fights cellulite, the nightmare of almost every woman out there.
Cinnamon is also a great natural cure for diarrhea and bloating, as well as a great support in treating bacterial infections. It has been used for such purposes since medieval times.
Cinnamon and Weight Loss
Because cinnamon replicates the biological activity of insulin in the body, it increases the glucose metabolism, thus preventing the storage of fat. The result is a healthy weight loss, especially from the abdominal region.
How to Add Cinnamon to Your Diet
As apple and cinnamon go very well together, you could spoil yourself from time to time with a tasty apple pie with plenty of ground cinnamon.
Another way of having your daily dose of weight loss catalyst is to add cinnamon and honey into your morning tea. Simply use ground cinnamon, mix it with honey and add boiling water over the mixture.
If you don’t fancy adding cinnamon into your foods, you can simply take cinnamon capsules. You can find them in shops. Try to buy only organic stuff, because that’s the best in terms of efficiency and safety.
The Side Effects of Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a safe spice, you don’t have to worry about any side effects. Nonetheless, in case of pregnancy you shouldn’t probably use it for losing weight. When nursing, watch the baby’s reactions to your milk. If he doesn’t like the cinnamon taste, he may refuse your breast, so you’ll have to stop eating cinnamon until weaning the little one.
Generally speaking, cinnamon is good for you, but if you have any doubts, or if you suffer from some medical conditions, you may want to seek the advice of your personal doctor before using it for weight loss.

Is There An Online Site That Gives Free Workout Tips? I’m looking for a site that gives free workout tips and tips on getting abs. I don’t need a so-called “quick trick” that will supposedly get me a six-pack in 2 days. I just want tips on how to work out and what to eat to get in shape.
If you want to stay in shape, you need to adopt healthy eating habits and make exercise a part of your daily life.
How to start?
Choose exercises you enjoy according to your fitness level. Aerobics exercises move the muscles fairly continuously and strengthen the heart and lungs. Examples of such activities are brisk walking, jogging, aerobic dancing, swimming, badminton, cycling and football.
If you have not exercised for a long time or just started, start slowly and increase gradually over a period of 3 to 6 weeks.
For those who are above 35 years old, overweight, or have medical problems, you need to check with a medical doctor before you embark on an exercise programme.
Frequency or How often?
Exercise for at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week or more
Intensity and duration?
Do exercise until you perspire and breathe deeply without getting breathless. You should be able to talk or whistle while exercising.
Do warm up and stretch for at least 5 minutes before exercise. Also not to forget to cool down and stretch after exercise.
Can I Have Some Good Workout Tips? Hey could I get some good workout tips. I’m medium built but i want to be lean and fit. I also want to tone and shape my legs a lot. Please tell me if you have any good tips!
Yes,visit the following sites for fitness.You may not need a full-fledged diet right now, but you can still incorporate some slim-down strategies into your daily life.
Eat breakfast. Studies show that eating breakfast is associated with keeping weight off once you’ve lost it.
Fill up on low-cal foods. Start every meal with the items on your plate that are lowest in calories. By the time you get to the other foods, you won’t be so hungry, possibly decreasing your total intake.
Begin with soup. Starting lunch or dinner with a broth-based, vegetable-filled soup will curb hunger so you’ll be less tempted to eat higher-calorie foods.
Arrive fashionably late. Without as much time near the buffet table at parties, you’ll eat less.
Divide your lunch. Afternoon snacker? Cut your lunch in half: have part at mealtime and the other half later in the afternoon.
Swap mustard for mayo. A tablespoon of mayonnaise has 100 calories, compared with 10 calories for a tablespoon of yellow mustard.
Duration of Exercise
You may not be exercising long enough. The rule of thumb is cardio for 30 minutes, three times per week. If you really want to reach your goal, try five 45-minute cardio workouts per week. That sounds like a lot of exercise, but remember this is in order to meet your goal, not necessarily maintain it.

Any Good Workout Tips For Men? I need workout tips that I can use at home and that works.
Eat healthy. consume a little more protein (meat) than usual. Work out helps but working out is about your body fat percentage. Eating healthy is the main thing, then work out. Two strengths when combined, result in that figure your looking for. When you work out don’t do the same routine work out everyday. alternate between 3 days and do different things each of the three days. like Monday do crunches, Tuesday sit ups, Wednesday go for a run. then Thursday go back to crunches. You can do more than one thing a day certainly but don’t do the exact same workout everyday. Your body gets use to it. Mix things up. Eat a healthy breakfast. Eggs, bacon, milk, orange juice. that sort of thing. Just combine eating healthy with work out and you should see results in the first few days.
What Are Some Good Workout Tips That Will Help Me Get Into Shape Quick? Im 22 5’6″ and weigh 178lbs. im sick of being fat and repulsed when i look in the mirror at my body. i just would like to know some great workout tips to help me get fit and lose about 40 lbs in 2 months
Well the best way to lose weight is to run everyday morning and night or after for hour and of course you wont be able to run the whole 1 hour as your not in shape yet so try to run for 30 minutes or more if you can and then walk for like 10 minutes and then run until you get to an hour and if your finally able to run the whole 1 hour start running for 2 hours
also start weight lifting as well as muscle burns fat so just get normal 15 lb or lighter if its to heavy and do curls dumbbell presses etc and most important of all do free weights such as push ups and if your unable to do allot of push ups do like 10 rest 10 seconds 10 rest 10 rest until you get to 100 or 200 if you can also get a bar and try to do pull ups front wards and you probably wont be able to so try really hard and go to the top and go down slowly, and you will have to do ab workouts like crunches and raise your legs
and do a quick warm up and and stretch before you lift and also with running do a quick warm up run like 10 minutes then stretch and start your 1 hour run
the other most important key fact to weight loss is a big change in your diet which mean more calories out then in so no to any fast food for the rest of your life unless you want be fat the rest of your life, don’t eat any junk foods high in fat like donuts and stuff like that because if your going to be burning like 1000 calories and then eating 3000 calories you wont be losing fat but instead just gaining fat and the only difference will be you will be gaining 10 lbs everyday instead of 5 lbs
what you should eat is salad fruit vegetables yogurt eat meat but not one in a kfc bucket a kind that homemade eat eggs also good in protein
follow these steps and i guarantee you of you being fit
Does Anyone Have Any Good “at Home” Workout Tips To Tone Stomach, Thighs And Butt? I’m not overweight or anything, I would just like to have a body that is more toned and healthy looking. I just need some workout tips that i can do at home in order to get rid of the fat; and tone my belly, thighs and ass. I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH DIETING, JUST EXERCISE. Thank-you 🙂
I know this sounds vague, but just use youtube. it’s awesome because you don’t have to buy an expensive dvd or anything and because you can specify exactly what you want to tone. You can search like “inner thigh workout” then choose from a bunch. Same with butt and stomach. There are some great variations. But, don’t expect perfect results from just working out. How you look is mainly due to your diet. Exercise just aids in that and tones you.
Good luck
