Honey & cinnamon

mom2kpr

I have been reading some on the health benefits of mixing honey & cinnamon w/hot water. Does anyone do this? Either for weight loss, lower blood sugar, etc? If so, did it work? Do you do it has a drink. I have been doing a mix of honey, cinnamon & peanut butter with either whole grain bread or fruit for breakfast. Any opinions, advice? Thanks.

Have you tried almond butter instead of peanut butter? Peanut butter is actually a legume not a true nut and peanut butter has alot of sugar in it compared to almond butter.
I don't use honey much because id rather spend those 60 cals on a piece of fruit but that's just me, I try to get as much bang for my buck in food just because i struggle with so many cravings.
I definitely wouldn't use it as a meal replacement, but i know herbal tea, especially green tea is supposed to be really good for weight loss too, no doubt you can add the honey to it too, some extra benefits

Peanut butter isn't that bad in terms of sugar if you buy an all-natural brand like Crazy Richard's instead of Jif or Skippy. The calorie counts for PB and almond butter are still pretty close - usually around 180 to 210 calories per two tablespoons and they mostly come from fat rather than sugar.

I don't know if it has any particular health benefits to boost weightloss but on the weekends when I actually have time to cook breakfast I put a local made honey spread on my toast instead of butter or jam (honey with pumpkin and spices). Its YUMMY and a dab will do you because its STRONG. I think I might use like 1TSP or something. Which is good because its also expensive lol.

I do replace hot tea for coffee now and then because its less acidic.... and put a tsp of honey in it to sweeten.
