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.
