Top 10 Weight Loss Tips - Tip 9 Honey and Cinnamon!

This is a super yummy and easy tip! It is easy for us to incorporate honey and cinnamon into our diets. You can add it to your oatmeal, tea, toast, fruit, butter and cheese. You can also take cinnamon in a capsule form if you like.
Now, you may not think of honey and weight loss together, but honey is a very useful and healthy food to help you lose weight. Honey is a simple sugar, which means that it isn't refined or processed, and it also contains vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are very good for you. Now isn't honey even sweeter than you thought? Honey helps boost and speed up your metabolism which then helps your body burn fat. The glycemic index (GI) of honey shows that you won't get a sugar rush from it and it is gradually absorbed into the body.
Cinnamon helps regulate our blood sugar levels and helps increase insulin levels in the body. Cinnamon helps prevent the increase of storage of fat by the body. It also helps to prevent the transformation of the sugar into fat! Gotta love that!
Cinnamon creates a Chemical Reaction: When cinnamon is consumed, the body actually reacts chemically to digest the cinnamon. This reaction actually speeds up the metabolism in order to offset the extra heat that is occurring as a result of the cinnamon. When the metabolism speeds up, you are burning more calories and you will lose weight more quickly. Cinnamon also improves insulin function, which equates to losing weight.
Local honey and cinnamon help clean parasites, fungus and bacteria in your digestive track. The honey also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, which, like cinnamon, helps with bad food cravings, and will help to keep you feeling fuller and more satisfied.
Here is a good honey and cinnamon weight loss recipe (or you could just as easily (and yummy too) incorporate it into your every day healthy foods!
Super simple recipe:
One part cinnamon and two parts honey is what is required for this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp of organic local honey
1 tsp of organic cinnamon
Instructions:
Put the cinnamon in a bowl
Boil 1 cup of water
Pour the hot water over the cinnamon
Steep for 15 minutes

Top 10 Weight Loss Tips - Tip 7 Good During The Week - Hog Wild On The Weekend

Does this sound familiar? This was me! I'd eat really well during the week, and then my Friday "cheat" day would turn into Saturday and Sunday cheat days too!
You strive all week to eat well, maybe even hit the gym a couple of times, but once you leave work on Friday evening, are all bets are off? While I am a big believer that weekends should be a time of relaxing, rejuvenating, and spending time socializing, you have to be careful not to go overboard and negate all your hard work during the week. One weekend of overeating on un-healthy foods and can easily undo the healthy diet you keep during the week. And this will stall your progress and keep you from reaching your goals.
Instead, view your weekends as a chance to do the things that you enjoy, and spend fun, quality time with your family and friends. "Weekends" should not be synonymous with food binging and excessive un-healthy eating. A cheat meal once or twice a week should be no problem, but going hog-wild for 2 or 3 days, will complete destroy your previous 4 or 5 days of good effort and eating. In fact, a cheat meal 1 to 2 times a week is actually good for you, if you do it right. If you don't allow yourself this after days and days of eating clean you will go kind of mental, and then you are much more likely to go way overboard. And the great thing about these "cheat" meals is that they free you from GUILT! When you eat 4-6 healthy meals a day, 7 days a week, that adds up to a lot of healthy meals. So 1 or 2 "cheat" meals out of 28 or 42 healthy meals isn't something you need to feel bad about or worry that it will sabotage your efforts!
Take advantage of your slower paced weekends, don't think about work, and get outside and be active. And being active doesn't have to mean spending an hour and half in the gym! Work in your yard, go for a walk, play with your kids outside, play tennis with a friend or loved one, go swimming with your kids. If you enjoy cooking, make some of your meals for the upcoming week to save time during the busy week! Keep your weekends for you. Read good books, watch good movies, perhaps with a few pieces of dark chocolate.
