Fat Burning Food #02 – Cinnamon

Adding 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to something you eat every day can help blood sugar get into your cells to be used for energy.  That means less is stored as fat. 

There is a whole scientific explanation behind it, I am sure.  But do we really need to know that? 

The main problem with cinnamon is that we typically enjoy it on foods that are LOADED with fat and calories (Cinnamon Sweet Rolls, anyone?) 

So the problem becomes getting the fat burning power of cinnamon without adding massive amounts of fat in the process.

Consider adding a dash to your morning coffee.  Or your oatmeal or yogurt.  

Or give these two recipes a try:
