Cinnamon and Honey For Weight Loss

joelsumrall

Has anyone used Cinnamon and Honey for weight loss?

It's supposed to have alot of other things it's good for too.:happy:

I put cinnamon in my Greek yogurt. Does that count? lol

I keep seeing this on Pinterest and I feel like it's just one of those things that people say work but it doesn't. Like a fad diet of some sorts. I'm interested in seeing the responses here, though.

Personally I'll keep up the calorie counting and exercising, though.

er. no thanks. I'd rather eat at a sensible calorie deficit.

Cinnamon is a calorie free flavouring you can use, but the real bonus is that it regulates blood sugar. If you eat as little as 1 tsp every day for 6 weeks (may be less, can't remember) it will have lasting effects. An easy add to yogurt, smoothies, cereal, etc.

Honey is a natural sweetener, better to add to things than refined white sugar.

I don't think either will alone will make you lose weight, but they are not bad things to consume!

Just to put out a correction - Cinnamon is not calorie free. It's about 6 cals a tsp. Not being picky, just don't want to see a thread pop up about someone who gets angry that they thought cinnamon was calorie free but it turned out it wasn't. (Referencing the spray butter thread incident).

But as others have said...honey and cinnamon (separately or together) aren't some miracle weight loss additive/solution. Calories in, calories out.

I do count the honey and cinnamon in my daily calorie intake, but it's not many calories.

Just like any of the 'fad diets' if you read into it somewhere it will always say something along the lines of 'along with a healthy diet and regular exercise' . Like others have said both are good options to add to a healthy diet for a variety of reasons but aren't a miracle solution on their own.

Yep, a healthy diet and exercise are the key !!

I use cinnamon several times a week in shakes, meats, and veges.

I put honey on my PB toast every morning.

I've lost weight and maintained nicely.

Everything in moderation with excercise and patience.

Well I will probably get bashed for this or an I told you so, but I'm trying the cinnamon and honey..I was told it has to be raw honey and ceylon cinnamon.

I bought something called Cinna Honey it comes in a jar and it's already mixed together and I eat it off the spoon. I have be trying to stick with LCHF as best as I can, but haven't lost much weight and wanted to see of this would give me a little boost, so will see what happens. I started the cinnamon and honey on June 20th.

I'm trying not to be rude and laugh at you but hey wake up:laugh: .. it's food and all food has calories and NONE are a miracle, even any products the try to sell us for dieting aren't a miracle. All food has calories and none will make you skinnier than any other. Just track your calories and do a bit of exercise if you can.End of story. Do what MFP shows you and you'll lose weight. Ask for help if you need it, we all love to help anyone that is stuck.

Yes - I have read alot about it - and are starting it ourselves. It has to be RAW Honey - and you are supposed to use CEYLON Cinnamon (not the kind you buy in the supermarket. Whole foods sell sit - and of course online.

I have read many many people swear by it - I have the Ceylon Cinnamon on order (my Whole foods is sold out of that particular kind - though they have a ton of the reg stuff - go figure!)

Just last night I came across this http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/honey-and-cinnamon.html
and it was very interested. But one thing I do know is that cinnamon
helps regulate blood sugar and can lower cholesterol. Just bare in mind that What
may work for me may not work for someone else unless you try it. I do know that honey
is less fattening then sugar so it to may help in weight loss some how and they
are natural products.

Well alrighty then, if a bunch of people swear by it and its all over the INterWeBs it must be true! :bigsmile:

Sounds like more fuel for the gullible.

Not sure of the use of honey for losing weight but my allergies completely vanished when I added honey from a local bee keeper to my diet five years ago. Two tablespoons in my oatmeal and peanut butter just about 90% of my breakfast meals

Just like the State Farm commercial... (I'm paraphrasing here)

Girl - This is my Internet date... he's a French Model

Model - Um... Bon Jour
