I recently read that cinnamon helps you lose fat. Is this a joke?

..................................................................................... 

Michael Collins: Here’s the deal…

Recent studies have shown that cinnamon can help improve insulin function.  When you improve insulin function, you can manage blood sugar more efficiently, resulting in a better fat loss environment.

Adding cinnamon to a moderate- carbohydrate containing meal will prevent your blood sugar from skyrocketing, and lessen fat accumulation by shuttling the glucose to the muscles instead of your fat cells.

The key here is that it helps keep the blood sugar stable and in the healthy zone when you are eating otherwise healthfully. It does not help undo the damage of a crappy meal.  If you'd like to know the basics of fat loss, head over to our Foundations of fat loss series.

If you're in this boat and really want to take charge of your body in a simple way, but have astounding results, get the Black Book of Secrets. If contains everything you need- diet, exercise and all the tricks and make it all easier.

Get Thoroughly Acquainted with Your Food for the Best Weight Loss Results 

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood type?

I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs work with high reps. Would you agree?

Do I need supplements to lose weight?

Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?

I’ve got fat located in the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid of it.  Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?

I know I should be having some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.

You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat meal?

Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?

What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing seems to help.
