This spice that I'm going to mention is one of the most overlooked,
but healthiest spices in the world...
You might even call it a "fat burning spice"... in a roundabout way.
And yes, it can actually help you win the battle against abdominal
fat if you use it daily...I'll explain why.
Here are some other benefits of this miracle spice:
controls blood sugar levels
helps maintain insulin sensitivity
a VERY powerful antioxidant
may have antibacterial and antifungal properties
and dozens of other benefits
So what is this miracle spice that beats abdominal fat?
Well... it's good old tasty Cinnamon!
Although cinnamon does NOT directly increase fat burning (such as by
increasing metabolic rate, etc), it CAN actually help you to burn off
abdominal fat and get leaner in an indirect way.
Here's how...
Although cinnamon has dozens of health benefits, the main benefit that
will help you to get leaner is through it's strong effect on controlling
blood sugar levels in your body.
In a study published in 2003 in the medical journal Diabetes Care, groups
were split into people taking 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule
form (the equivalent of approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).
The results of the study showed that all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced
fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.
Cinnamon can also increase insulin sensitivity, which essentially means that
it is helping your body to control blood sugar while simultaneously allowing
your body to produce less insulin.
As you know, chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the
blubber.
How to harness cinnamon to lose stubborn belly fat...
One possible way to benefit from cinnamon to lose more fat is to use cinnamon
daily in your meals when you can, such as in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies,
oatmeal, or anything else you can think of where it would go well.
Also, you could use a cinnamon capsule before each of your meals, particularly if
you're going to have more than 30 grams of carbs in that meal.
This could help to control blood sugar and insulin response from your meals and
thereby control your appetite and cravings throughout the day... hence, helping you
to lose body fat more effectively over time.
So now you can see that not only is cinnamon a powerful antioxidant that can help
you stay youthful longer, it can also help you to control blood sugar and get a
leaner body!
