So what is this miracle spice that can rid belly fat or banish ugly abdominal fat?

Well, how to lose belly fat… some call it a miracle belly-fat spice for fat burning!

Obviously cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (i,e. increase metabolic rate), it can essentially help you to burn abdominal fat.

You simply get healthier lifestyle and leaner in an indirect way.

Why?

Because cinnamon is one of the most overlooked, yet healthiest spices in the world. Yes, it can help you win the battle against the bulge by using it daily.

Allow me to explain…

Firstly, here are five benefits of eating cinnamon:

* Controls blood sugar levels
* Maintain insulin sensitivity
* Very powerful antioxidant
* Antibacterial properties
* Anti-fungal properties
* Dozens of other benefits…

Here’s how Cinnamon works…

Although cinnamon has many health benefits, you get leaner through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 from the medical journal Diabetes Care, one group was split in two, first group ate 1 – 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon also increases insulin sensitivity, which means your body control blood sugar while simultaneously producing less insulin.

Chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the fat.

How to harness cinnamon and lose stubborn belly fat… add cinnamon daily for breakfast or meals, sprinkle in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, etc…

Also, you could take a daily dose (cinnamon capsule) before each of your meals.

This helps control blood sugar and insulin response from eating foods and thereby controlling your appetite and cravings throughout the day…

In other words you’re helping to lose body fat more effectively over time.

Now you can see why cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant that helps you stay youthful longer, this spice of life helps you to control blood sugar and get a leaner sexier body too!

How To Eliminate Your Cravings Quickly?

Cravings can be more than just a little desire for chocolate or a particular sweets and foods…

Physical cravings for sugar cravings and foods that contain lots of sugar, fat or salt can be intense and lead to binging.

What do you crave? Well, whatever you crave for makes it difficult to lose weight and have the body you want.

There are 2 reasons for this...

One is that we are hungry.

When you go a while without eating food, your body often will crave the sweetest (chocolate) or densest foods imaginable (chocolate cake).

Your body may have associated calorie dense foods with burgers or fries.

It just wants to get those calories in…don’t worry, it’s not your fault and you
are not alone.

The other reason is that we are simply addicted.

A lot of the food we put into our body has chemicals within that make it addictive.

One of these is called HCAs (Heterocyclic Amines).

Cheese contains morphine and chocolate of course has caffeine as well as sugar. They can send us into a downward spiral that is difficult to escape.

However you can get out of it quite easily by making the right changes to your lifestyle.

First of all it is really important that you start eating breakfast and start eating consistently throughout the day (at least every 2-3 hours).

You have to make eating a priority otherwise you find time and time again the evening comes around and you’ll be craving beyond belief.

You’ll end up going on a massive binge…

Of course though there are ways to calm that feeling down immediately too but the best thing to do is avoid the situation completely.

If you find yourself in an intense mess by the evening then its time to start eating fruit.

This might puzzle you and you may be thinking that fruit is the last thing you
would consider eating as it will make your cravings worse, but it won’t!

It won’t as long as you eat enough.

In tense times where I haven’t eaten all day the best step to do is to grab some fresh strawberries and simply chop a cup’s worth into bite sized pieces.

This will satisfy your hunger and stop the cravings.

Another tip is that it is always a good idea to drink water.

When we are dehydrated we can feel less hungry which can lead to under eating and binging later on.

Drinking throughout the day will help you maintain regular eating.

Aim for 4 – 8 glasses of water a day, increasing volume as the temperature rises (i,e, spring, summer) and as your level of activity increases.

You will be amazed as the cravings disappear.

Lastly have more self-awareness.

If you can be more in tune with yourself you may realize that a lot of your
eating isn’t hunger but emotional issues.

Stress and upset can make us want to grab a doughnut.

Excitement and happiness can also make us want to grab a doughnut. This is because society has placed food at the center of celebrations and upsets.

It is pretty much ingrained in all of us.

Make an effort to acknowledge it and you will have more success overcoming cravings for good.

Also, remember to check in on the new tips, techniques, systems, methods
and programs that will help you get the body you want and truly deserve.

Weight Loss Tips?

Women are so busy these days and for reasons of time, cost and scheduling many find it very difficult to break free from the horrific dieting roller coaster…

1. Set a goal.

Identify your ideal weight and set up a plan to start reaching your goal.

2. Don’t be afraid to ask for and get help.

You’re not going to lose weight alone so tell you family.

Get support…

3. Vitamins can be good for you.

The American diet lacks essential vitamins and minerals. Balance your health with the best supplements.

4. Walk the Walk.

You burn calories when you walk, did you know that? Keep happily fit and active by balancing nutrition, health food and diet with regular exercise.

5. Sleep it off.

To be efficient at fat-burning, your body needs at least eight hours of sleep.

If you think you‘re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you‘re very much mistaken…

Before and After…Loss Weight Fast and Easy!

Watch this video below and see with your own eyes how fast and easy it is for some women to lose weight…without exercise or regardless of what they eat.

Is Weight Loss A Simple Phone Call Away?

Many women wanting to improve their weight loss results and eating habits may not be able to go see a dietitian or nutritionist for individual counseling.

Well, what about telephone counseling?

For women’s health, it’s becoming increasingly popular…these days!

Latest studies have reported it’s an effective strategy for behavior change.

A research study in the August 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association indicates counseling over the phone does indeed work.

Although uncontrolled, this telephone-counseling intervention over 3 months with a total of 8 phone calls to each participant…

This revealed even short periods of counseling can produce healthy weight loss with dietary changes.

Specifically, adults (97 people, mostly women) who were eating fewer than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily…

Women were encouraged to increase their intake of fresh:

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Whole grains
  • Beans, legumes
  • Fiber

Plasma carotenoids (antioxidants) were measured in 41 randomly selected people as a way of assessing their actual intake of vegetables and fruits.

Results of this study revealed those receiving the telephone intervention consumed significantly more vegetables (67 percent), fruits (71 percent increase)…

Whole grains and beans (40 percent) as indicated by significant increases in their total plasma carotenoids…than did those not receiving the telephone counseling.

Why does telephone weight loss counseling work?

In my opinion, the telephone allowed the coach to give expert advice consistently.

And it created a sense of accountability on the part of the participants, both of which paid off in more healthy eating choices.

Also, the subjects’ intake of fat significantly decreased as more fruits and vegetables were consumed.

Since fat contains more than twice the calories of carbohydrates or protein, the caloric intake of their meals naturally decreased.

This means not only did it increase their chances for weight loss, but also decreased their risk for heart disease.

While the ideal will always be to see a dietitian or health care provider face-to-face…

This research suggests other options are out there that might result in significant dietary changes.

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has a directory of dietitians in all 50 states.

You can find one within a short distance of your home or office.

You can even specify the particular area of nutrition counseling you’d like to receive, including weight management.

Just go to the ADA Web site, click on “Find a Nutrition Professional Near You,” and enter your zip code.

Some of the dietitians may do phone consultations or even make house calls!
