From LoveToKnow DietDiscussion threads, articles, gossip and talk all over the Internet are all a twitter about how to lose weight using cinnamon powder and honey. While some insist that they've seen no difference after trying this combination, others enthusiastically recommend it as a surefire way to reduce weight.

How to Lose Weight Using Cinnamon Powder and Honey
The recipe for this alleged miraculous weight loss aid is very simple. Combine one teaspoon honey with one-half teaspoon cinnamon powder and boil in one cup of water. After the mixture has boiled, filter it into another cup. Divide the mixture into two half-cup quantities to be consumed one-half hour before breakfast and one-half hour before going to sleep at night. Some proponents recommend adding raw honey after the water has boiled to retain nutrients and thus the benefits.

By following this regimen, it is suggested that a dieter may easily lose three to five pounds within one week without changing anything else within his or her diet. Differences in results may be due to the cinnamon used. There are three types of cinnamon:

Ceylon cinnamon
Indonesian cinnamon
Cassia cinnamon
The Effect It Has on the Body
According to materials and articles recommending this diet aid, this mixture of cinnamon powder and honey stops the body from accumulating fat.

Cinnamon is said to influence blood sugar and the way it’s processed, giving your body a better chance to break it down in such a way that it doesn’t turn to fat. It is said that abdominal weight is more sensitive to cinnamon’s effects than other body weight.

Other Uses of Honey and Cinnamon
Experts across the world have researched the effects of honey and cinnamon on the human body. They have discovered several uses and applications that help cure common discomforts and diseases.


Heart Disease
A paste of honey and cinnamon powder eaten on bread regularly for breakfast can help cure or reduce the impact of heart disease. The mixture lessens the cholesterol produced and found in the arteries, helping stave off a heart attack. Additionally, residential care facilities across the United States and Canada have found that a diet including honey and cinnamon helps strengthen patient's arteries and veins.

Arthritis
It's reported that a paste made of one part honey to two parts of lukewarm water with a teaspoon of cinnamon will help reduce pain when rubbed into the affected area. Also, experts suggest taking one tablespoon honey and a half teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast. This is said to reduce pain and help with flexibility.

Hair Loss
To help stimulate hair growth, apply a paste of one tablespoon of honey, hot olive oil and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before taking a bath or shower. Effects are said to be experienced with even five minutes worth of application, although 15 minutes are recommended.

Bladder Infections
Germs are destroyed in the bladder when two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey are mixed and consumed.

Toothache
An ailing tooth can be benefited by applying a paste of one teaspoon cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey. This should be applied three times per day until pain is gone.

Experts indicate that the common cold, infertility, upset stomach, gas, immune system complications, indigestion, influenza, longevity, pimples, skin infections, cancer, fatigue, bad breath and hearing loss are all positively impacted by the use of mixtures with honey and cinnamon powder as primary ingredients.

Not the Only Cure
While this may sound like a terrific solution to your weight loss problem, it’s not the only cure. Nor is it the long-term cure. Nobody can attain permanent weight loss without a proper balance between healthy diet and exercise. One should eat a variety of food groups, limit junk food and consume appropriate portions. Additionally, exercise that includes both cardio and strength-training should be a regular part of your exercise plan. By combining exercise, healthy diet and the cinnamon and honey trick, your weight loss success should be guaranteed. When someone asks you how to lose weight using cinnamon powder and honey, let them know there are other elements necessary to succeed, as well.

    I have kind of heard of it but I doubt it works. One of my colleagues asked me about it because she was trying it and was concerned about how uh regular she suddenly was... the boiling water first thing in the morning will do that to you!
