Advice on Cinnamon Supplement

[Guest guest]

Have any of you used a cinnamon supplement in addition to BFL?

I'm getting ready to start BFL again and I have been taking 1 cinnamon

capsule twice a day (total 1,000 mg). I read that cinnamon could be

taken to help with balancing your blood sugar and it seems to have

helped. I have been weaning myself off the sugary foods over the last

week or so and I hoped it would help with the sugar withdrawls.

The really surprising benefit was that although I have been eating

basically the same foods daily, I have lost over 2 inches off my

waist. The only change has been the addition of cinnamon.

I'd love to hear any comments, pro or con, on the cinnamon.

Thanks,

I've never even heard of cinnamon supplements! I heard somewhere that if you

crave chocolate all the time you might have a magnesium deficiency, so I started

supplementing with a cal/mag combo.

I'm new to BFL and the big problem I am having is getting of sweets. I can't

seem to stay off chocolate more then 4 or 5 days. It's a bad cycle. Has anyone

overcome this problem?

Thanks,

Try adding sugar free, fat free chocolate Jell-o pudding mix (one

tablespoon) to a 1/2 cup cottage cheese and ice. Blend.....takes my

chocolate craving away fast!! Add a good carb source and it's a

great little meal!

If you are not already, you might try supplementing with

L-Glutamine. It helps with sugar cravings as well as

decreasing muscle soreness and a long list of other

benefits. I get it at walmart for about 10.00 or so.

Just add a teaspoon to a shake or even just a glass

of water. It has no taste really.
