Honey and Cinnamon for Weight Loss
As I promised in my previous post, in this one I will share with you an interesting fact, I found a few days ago, about cinnamon weight loss effect.
As you can see from my post title the cinnamon weight loss effect is combined with honey in a delicious mixture, which recipe I am just about to tell you:
Ingredients
- half teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 cup of boiling water
Preparation
Mix the cinnamon and honey in the cup and make a paste. Add the boiling water and cover the cup for half an hour. Stir the mixture water and filter it. Wait until it cools enough for drinking and it’s ready.
“Serving” - I couldn’t think of a better word 
Take one half of the drink before breakfast and the other half after dinner, before going to bed.
Weight loss success stories
People who have tried this amazing weight loss drink say that they have lost about 3 kg (6-7 lbs) for 1 week.
I know it sounds too good and easy to be true, but I do believe it really works. I will try it myself in the next couple of weeks, actually as soon as I supply myself with the necessary ingredients - cinnamon and honey. For now I got only the water
I promise to share my weight loss success story as a comment to this post.
Important Update
Due to the great interest in this topic and the numerous comments I receive every day, I decided to close the thread for comments as soon as their number reach 300.
By then, if you have success stories and results to share with us, please do that at: Have You Tried Honey and Cinnamon for Weight Loss

Hi Leena! I haven’t started the honey and cinnamon drink yet, but my mother’s been using it for a whole week already. I will call her this weekend to find out if she has any results.
I will appreciate very much if you share your experience with the drink here.
Thank you.

Hi,
When you say “Stir the mixture water and filter it.” what exactly do you mean by filter it? Do I pour it through a coffe filter into a new cup or do I strain it or use a cheesecloth?
Thank You
June 13th, 2006 at 7:14 am
Hello Vikki, first of all thank you for your question and second I’m about to answer it
Actually you’ve said the answer yourself - when I said filter I meant to pour the mixture through a coffee filter into a new cup. That’s to avoid taking up the small undiluted particles from honey.
June 14th, 2006 at 5:34 am
Hello Galia, I’ve just started drinking the mixture and would like to know if it works for you? I’ve been doing ‘research on the mixture and its looking good!!!
thanks!!
June 15th, 2006 at 9:37 pm

June 16th, 2006 at 9:35 am
To Ally…
Hello Ally, I am glad you’ve started drinking the honey and cinnamon mixture, too.
It was very unpleasent the reason I started - it was about two weeks ago, when I was getting ready to go out with some friends, and when I tried to get into my old last summer jeans, I realized my tummy was no longer flat since I couldn’t button my jeans.
I started drinking the honey and cinnamon mixture the very same evening, and now two weeks later I feel much better. I have lost 2 kg already, and I will go on for at least three more weeks to lose another 3 kg.
I wish you all the best Ally and I hope it will work for you the way it worked for me. And don’t forget to share your experience here with us. Good luck dear!
P.S. Tomorrow I will try to get into my jeans again and to button them all the way up
Wish me luck.

To Tamanna…
Hi Tamanna, thank you for your comment.
I am very happy you’ve lost weight, but it’s very bad that you’ve also gained it back.
I wonder why have you stopped taking the honey and cinnamon drink?
And why can’t you exercise? Even walking in the park is an exercise. You can give it a try.
July 4th, 2006 at 4:43 am
Hey,
thhis honey and cinammon recipe sounds too good to be true. I am going to start trying it tmrw, and will share my results soon…..
July 4th, 2006 at 4:46 am
Hi there…
I’m starting the drink this morning. Is there a difference if i boil the cinnamon and honey in 1 c of water or using the kettle? Can i drink more than 1/2 cup in the morning and before i go to bed? Is it ok to drink it during the day??
July 4th, 2006 at 8:05 am
Hi Kristin,
Thanks for the questions, I’ll answer them immediately.
First you can’t boil the honey and cinnamon in the water at the same time, but you should use that kettle to boil the water alone. Here’s how I’m preparing the drink in the evening:
1. I boil a tea cup of water in the microwave until it starts to babble
2. At the same time I mix the cinnamon and honey in another cup and stir for about 1 min until it turns into paste
3. Then I poor the boiling water into the cup with honey and cinnamon paste and stir until the honey dissolves
4. Cover it for half an hour and then drink the half before go to bed
As for the amount you should drink - you should take only half cup in the morning and the other half in the evening, don’t take more than that.
And don’t take it during the day - it’s enough to take one cup a day, half in the morning and half in the evening. Don’t try to lose weight faster.
Honey and cinnamon drink will help you lose weight naturally and that takes some time, so you must be patient.
July 4th, 2006 at 8:40 pm
What’s the easiest or best way to strain the drink? i find using the coffee filter takes a long time to strain as the cinnamon becomes somewhat of a jelly solution. i find that after straining it, it is less than 1 cup. do i leave it as is or can i add some water to compensate as both my boyfriend and i started taking the cinnamon and honey mixture today. Wish us luck!!
July 5th, 2006 at 6:55 am
Hi Kristin,
I am using a coffee filter too. Yes, it’s true it takes some time and the cinnamon “jelly” with some water is kept in the filter.
DO NOT add cold water to the mixture if it is less than 1 cup.
You just need to boil a little more than 1 tea cup of water, and after pouring it through the filter, you’ll get a full tea cup of honey and cinnamon drink.
I wish both of you luck!
And remember to come back here and share you experience.
July 9th, 2006 at 10:34 am
Out of curiosity… how does the cinnamon and honey mixture work??? I have read that it helps with weight loss and a whole lot of other conditions on quite a few websites but they do not say ‘HOW’ it works.
July 30th, 2006 at 5:49 am
Can ground cinnamon be used instead of powdered ? I can’t find powdered cinnamon in the grocery stores. How much can be made at one time ?
July 31st, 2006 at 3:05 am
Hi Suzanne,
Of course you can use ground cinnamon instead of powdered.
As for the question: “How much can be made at one time?”, I assume you wanna know the amount of the honey and cinnamon drink that can be made at one time.
Well, I recommend you to start in the evening and make one cup of tea of honey and cinnamon drink at a time. Drink the first half before you go to bed and the other half in the morning. Follow the same procedure and prepare your drink in the evening again and so on…
July 31st, 2006 at 4:37 pm
Thank you for your help!
August 1st, 2006 at 1:01 pm
should the half you leave for the next dat be refridgerated?
August 4th, 2006 at 3:48 am
Hi Galia,
I read about this a while back but just never took seriously but started this morning then i searched the net and saw your site.
I will give you my progress report next week.
August 6th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
Hi Galia
I have been drinking it for a week, but nothing has changed.
August 29th, 2006 at 4:19 pm
what about diabetics? would it be okay?
September 8th, 2006 at 5:40 am
Hi Galia Ivanova,
I have been regularly taking the Cinnamon + Honey drink since
6 weeks but sadly I have not lost a single pound, infact I have put on 5 pounds of weight.
Please suggest what is going wrong?
September 19th, 2006 at 4:09 am
look cinnonmon and honey works on lots of things, weight ,fluid, erections,
and it make you feel a lot better, try it it can’t hurt.
September 19th, 2006 at 4:17 am
sesha , maybe you are not over weight at all, so how can you lose weight.
honey/cinnonmon /with green tea / does work on weight.
mix all 3 together in a big bowl , take 1 cup 3 times a day.
morning / night /lunch time.
to add to this give up rice/ white breeds/ no softdrinks at all.
8 cups of fuild a day.
and plenty of fresh vegies every day.
with chicken/meat/ ok.
grill all meats and chicken eat all you want.
you will lose weight 100%
September 30th, 2006 at 11:36 am
hi..
have tried this.have been drinkng this for abut 4 months now..have lost 6 kgs ,,,that too withut going on a diet or doing exercise.,…but the prob, is that i am not loosing any further though i am continuing the drink religiously:(
October 3rd, 2006 at 9:56 pm
Hey! I have the same question as “la-la”. Should the half you leave for the next day be refridgerated or do we just leave it out on the kitchen bench or in the microwave?
October 5th, 2006 at 6:11 am
To la-la and Rani…
Hello to you both,
You can refrigerate the honey and cinnamon drink only if you like - it’s not a must do, and don’t worry its taste won’t be spoiled if you leave it out of the fridge.
I assure you that it will be OK if you just leave it out covered on the kitchen bench or in the microwave for the night.
October 7th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
Hi, I’am over weight, big time. And Today I plan on starting this cinnamon honey, thing. I hope it works. I will repost next week.
October 10th, 2006 at 7:21 am
Hi

May i know whether i can drink one cup with cinnamon and honey by morning and also one cup by night. is it ok? Please reply as i need to know it.
October 10th, 2006 at 8:37 pm
Hi
i am interesting abt cinnamon and honey. It can make me weight loss, true? I have problem fat. Please advise me. thanks
October 12th, 2006 at 7:20 am
To Abigail…
Hello Abigail,
I see your point: you want to drink a full cup of honey and cinnamon at a time, instead the recommended half cup. And you hope for faster and better results…
However, I do not recommend you do that since the first day you start. Start with a half cup at a time. After one week try a full cup of drink for a couple of days. But if you feel anything strange such as stomach aches or tension- stop immediately and go back to only half cup at a time.
If you feel OK with a full cup of drink for a whole week then you can go on with a full cup of honey and cinnamon, but I recommend you to do a little breaks – for example one week full cup, one week half cup, then again one week full cup and one week half cup –keep that way until you reach your goal weight.
I haven’t mentioned it in my post above, but drinking honey and cinnamon is not an excuse for overeating or eating more than you used to eat before starting this drink.
October 12th, 2006 at 7:30 am
To Belinda…
Hi Belinda,
Honey and cinnamon drink can help you lose weight - it’s true. Cinnamon is an antioxidant that aids fat burning (just like the green tea), so it really can help you. Give it a try and come back here to share your experience.
October 12th, 2006 at 8:35 pm
Hi Galia
Thank for ur share. I am plan to starting on cinnamon and honey today. May i know if i taking cinnamon and honey with psyllium husk mixture then drink it before breakfast and go to bed. is it ok? Taking cinnamon and honey with normal meal 3times a day, not overeating more. it will be lose weight? I hope it works on me. Please reply. thanks
October 14th, 2006 at 1:12 am
Hi im interested also in using this honey and cinnamon for weight loss. i will come back again after a week..
October 14th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
Hi Belinda,
It is OK if you taking honey and cinnamon with psyllium husk.
“Taking cinnamon and honey with normal meal 3times a day, not overeating more. it will be lose weight?” - I am quoting that to see if I got you correct:
You are taking honey and cinnamon, eating 3 normal meals a day, without overeating and you are asking me if you gonna lose weight, right?
Yes, you can lose weight. Try some extra activity if you can, too. Such as jogging or at least walking more. And remember to drink enough liquids with the psyllium husk mixture
October 18th, 2006 at 5:37 am

October 26th, 2006 at 8:38 am
Hi Jhana Kristine and Kleng,
I understand that you both have started the honey and cinnamon drink with great expectations, and now you feel like it’s not working.
Actually it’s not a miracle drink and you need to know a few more tips on loosing weight. I recommend you to read these 10 tips to lose weight by the end of 2006, and I hope you will find what else you need to lose weight, besides the honey and cinnamon.
October 28th, 2006 at 1:36 am
Hi
Gaila
Thanks for the info.
October 30th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Hi Galia,
Is it absolutely necessary to take the cinnamon with the honey? Can I just omit the honey and drink it with water, or add it to my food throughout the day? Will it make any difference?
November 1st, 2006 at 5:03 am
Hi Yuri,
It is a very good idea what you suggest and you can try it and share the results with us.
However, the whole idea behind the cinnamon and honey drink is - when you drink it before bed it keeps you from storing fat during the night. The cinnamon is an antioxidant that is actually burning the fat.
November 2nd, 2006 at 4:34 am
Hai this sounds intresting.I have delivery a baby girl september still iam brest feeding. Can i take this cinnoman drink. Will it affect my baby’s wegith gain. Can i use it for reducing my weight. please suggest. Olive
November 2nd, 2006 at 12:41 pm
When you pour hot water into the honey & cinnamon paste and mix it until honey is dissolved ….
Do you filter it after the mix?
Or are you suppose to just drink with cinnamon in it because cinnamon does get dissolved?
November 7th, 2006 at 12:05 pm
Hi, I just wanted to post this link about cinammon. It says the reason why it works is because it lowers blood sugar levels, and yes - you can sprinkle it on your food throughout the day to help you lose weight, in addition to your drink in the am and pm. You can’t overdose on cinammon. And for those who feel it’s not working, try Agave Nectar in the drink instead of honey. It has a much lower GI and will not make your blood sugar rise the way honey will.

November 8th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
What does covering the mixture do? Does it have to sit for half an hour?
November 10th, 2006 at 5:01 am
To Manda,
Actually, it is up to you if you want to filter the mixture. I tried once without filtering, but I didn’t like the cinnamon lees, because the cinnamon definitely does not get dissolved.
To gail,
I have already answered to that question above, but I will say it again - the drink needs to brew like a tea, but instead of a couple of minutes like tea, the cinnamon and honey need half an hour.
November 15th, 2006 at 2:08 am
Tried. Faithfully 3 times a day, coupled with a sensible diet. 6 weeks already and I haven’t even move half a kg. It’s CRAP! Wasted all my time and money (even bought the most expensive honey on the shelf). It’s nothing but just a hype!
November 15th, 2006 at 8:04 am
I’d like to find out if honey and cinnamon taken on its own without adding boiling water would work for weightloss.
November 16th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
I want to know can it be taken while little warm?
November 18th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
Hi Olive,
Congratulations for your baby!
As for the cinnamon drink - why not. You can try it and i doubt it can affect your baby’s weight in any way. However, you should consult a doctor before start taking it. See what he will say about the breastfeeding and the cinnamon.
You can use it for weight loss, but please don’t hope for fast and miraculous results, like most people do. The effect is subtle and takes some time.
November 18th, 2006 at 10:12 pm
To tina …
Why would you try something like this, when it is much easier to drink it with boiling water?
To Anju…
I can’t understand what exactly you mean - warm as in boiling water left to cool or warm as in warmed just a little without boiling. If it’s the first - OK, as for the second - you need to boil the water first and then to cool it.
November 19th, 2006 at 1:19 am
HI I’m using honey and cinnmon for almost 3 weeks and nothings change in fact i gained another pounds…what should i do…i do walking as an exercise.. please help me..
November 19th, 2006 at 11:17 pm
I am bit overwieght so thought of implementing plan but one doubt,the mixture what we prepare of one cup in night can we drink half cup in same night and half
cup in the next morning. Means, the drink what we prepare in night the same can we drink in next morning by keeping it over night. You told one cup of water, after boiling one cup or before boiling one cup. Because after boiling the water will be bit reduced, it may not be exact half and it may be more also. So, kindly advise.
Thank you,
November 28th, 2006 at 3:55 am
Hi nisha,
I think I have already answered that question, but I will do it again for you.
“You told one cup of water, after boiling one cup or before boiling one cup” - I told one cup of boiling water, after boiling a little more than one cup, so when you pour the water into the cup with honey and cinnamon you get exactly one full cup.
December 4th, 2006 at 4:08 pm
I have read from a variety of places that it is good for weight loss. But I hate the taste of cinnamon and especially cinnamon powder. I tried boiling cinnamon sticks and honey and water and the taste is much better. Any idea of the difference between cinnamon powder and stick?
Any reply will be appreciated.
December 6th, 2006 at 6:41 am
Hi Raj,
“Any idea of the difference between cinnamon powder and stick?” - There is NO difference. The cinnamon powder is just grinded cinnamon sticks.
If you like the taste more that way - it is OK, there is no difference if you take the honey and cinnamon drink with cinnamon powder or sticks.
December 6th, 2006 at 8:26 pm
Thank you Galia. I kinda like the taste with cinnamon stick boiled in water and then i add honey. not sure of the weight loss things. But I do feel full of energy.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:14 pm
Im a bit confused with the quantity of honey and cinnamon to be used coz this is what i read in another site…
Weight Loss
Daily in the morning, 1/2 hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink 2 tablespoons of honey with 1teaspoon of cinnamon powder boiled in one cup water. If taken regularly it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. The honey and cinnamon aids in digestion and rids body of stomach related disorders. Take care that you also eat sensibly a balance nutritional diet. % small meals are better than 3 large ones and soups are a great substitute.
Could you please advise what the right quantity is ? Thanks.
January 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 am
yes its proven, but i stopped taking it because of no time due to busy work
but after the holiday season, i will try again to drink
February 1st, 2007 at 12:47 am
Let me start by saying that I too have been drinking this mixture for the past several days. I have noticed that bowel movements are more regular, and IBS isn’t hampered, but indeed relieved to a point. I have also noticed a sweaty forehead often since I’ve been drinking this. I’ve not weighed myself, but have noticed about 1/2 inch less from my waist.
I want real stories here. This seems to be almost a forgotten thread. Tell us all of your experiences with this tea. I can’t see it being bad - I can only imagine positives. Let me know - let us ALL know how it’s helped YOU.
February 1st, 2007 at 9:14 am
It’s extremely important that the honey is raw. If it is cooked, more than what is desired of the helpful indredients are destroyed. Pure Honey is not the same thing as Raw Honey, so beware of that term. Find honey that states it’s uncooked or that states it is Raw : )
It would be a shame for a bunch of people to decide this method did not work because they were using cooked or imitation honey…

February 22nd, 2007 at 12:44 am
hey guys,
just started on the drink yesterday. Im confused as to if this works or not since some of u are claiming its a hype. no harm trying it after all its herbal! only time will tell. some poeple have lost 3 kgs a week, so it says but others claim to have little or no effect at all. Worst case scenario, gainm more weight– how is that possible through cinnamon powder? sounds ridiculous. it cant stimulate you to eat more cause its supposed to cause a hot burning sensation to get rid of fat. logically thinking, i feel people who have tried n failed either believed they will lose the weight, therefore ate more subconsciously thinking they r going to lose the weight anyway. hello guys!!!!! it doesnt work that way. however, i would like to know who has lost more than a kilo in a week…..
kind regards

Hey
i have been trying this honey and cinnamon for a week and i have not seen results…the problem is i exercise with it and i have not seen results…i am getting married in december and i need to lose 50LBs and i don’t like diets and don’t know what to do…
March 21st, 2007 at 4:33 am
Hello.
Have been using this honey and cinnamon mixture for over a month now but i do not notice any changes.My friend told me that I was to boil the mixture and have it while still hot/warm enough.Am really confused as to what is the right way to prepare thi mixture.Please help.
March 22nd, 2007 at 9:14 pm
diya, try a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar after each meal. its gotta sharp taste to it so dilute in water not too much. it will cut out fat from the meal eaten and speed up a slow metabolism. max weightloss is 1 kg a wk which is a safe n healthy way. and all safe n natural. dont try with normal vinegar cause its too acidic. saw this on extra.com.au
April 1st, 2007 at 10:42 am
Sorry, but so far this seems like nothing but hype. There always seems to be some buts. If I have a speicific diet & exercise pattern and stay the same weight, it seems this mixture should cause a weight loss. The moment something else is added such as changing eating habits and additional excercise then the mixture is a hype since all that was needed was to eat less and exercise more to lose the weight. The mixture would not be necessary.
GeorgeD
April 12th, 2007 at 4:03 am
GeorgeD, first of all it is free. Second it easy to prepare. So what is the problem to use it?
April 16th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
The quantities and doseages given are incorrect.
I once lost about 30 pounds by taking 2 capsules of cinnamon before each meal. It took a while for it to start working but when it did, it really dropped off pretty quickly.
If you are going to do the tea method, use a tsp of cinnamon in the morning and again in the evening, preferably before meals. Cinnamon works by 2 mechanisms: it stops the huge insulin surge after a carb meal, and cinnamon is a very potent fungicide. It kills candida and any other other fungus in the digestive tract, along with many types of paracites as well. janet
April 21st, 2007 at 8:46 am
Hot water must not be poured over honey. One can pour hot water over cinnamon, let it cool a bit, then add honey to the mixture.

I have been drinking this cinnamon concoction and must admit that it works wonders. i was 72 kgs before and after the taking this went down to 50. Again after my pregnancy my post pregnancy weight was 79 and it dropped down later to 59. Must say that u got to try it out to belive it!!!
May 4th, 2007 at 11:10 am
Wow saniyah, I am very happy for you! It’s just wonderful that you’ve managed to lose those 20 kgs with the honey and cinnamon drink
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! You just didn’t mention how long you have been taking it to lose those kilograms.
Finally, I needed someone to confirm what I’ve been saying for already a year now - that honey and cinnamon drink works, you just need to try it to believe it!
May 7th, 2007 at 12:42 am
Hi,
Could we just add hot water in the cinnamon, and later after cooling happens shall we add honey, so that honey is unaffected with the hot water.
Thanks,
Syd
May 8th, 2007 at 4:02 am
hi galia,
i have just started drinking the magical honey and cinnamon drink and have been drinking it religiously over the last ten days or so, this was on the sayso of my mum who had read about it somewhere. i was just looking online to find out the benefits of cinnamon and i’ve come across this thread. i was fully intending to stick to this for the time being and ill update you with my progress.
in the meantime there was something i wanted to ask you…i noticed from reading all the comments that you started drinking this combo just under a year ago…in your opinion has drinking it made a difference in a year?(that assumes you have been drinking it for that long!)
thanks,
dee
May 9th, 2007 at 2:18 am
Hi Galia,
I have just started having this last night after reading about the success stories. I am generally not able to watch my diet so well; but yes I do try and get some exercise. I also am not very overweight. Just a few extra pounds. Want to lose a few inches, so was wondering if it helps only very obese people?
I will definitely post in some update as soon as I see some difference. I just wanted to know if we can drink the mixture while it’s warm, cause otherwise it tastes quite bad when its cold. Yesterday night when I had it, it was nice, but when I had it this morning, it was all cold and I couldn’t bear the taste. So can I just make it a little warm again in the morning before having it?
Also you have mentioned 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder and 1 teaspoon of honey, however I read on http://www.indoindians.com/health/honey.htm to take 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder in 1 cup boiling water. So which is the right measurement?
Thanks a lot! Look forward to your reply!

To Syd…
Hello Syd,
Thanks for your question. It’s a good one.
However, don’t think hot water affects honey in any way. The whole point here is to make the honey and cinnamon paste first and then poor the hot water.
Regards,
Galia
May 10th, 2007 at 5:56 am
To dee…
Hello dee,
Thank you for your question. It’s true that I started drinking the honey and cinnamon combo almost a year ago.
Did that make any difference for me? Oh yeah, the first couple of weeks like a dream for me. I felt great, full of energy and happy, cause I managed to get into my favorite pair of jeans again just in 3 weeks
The weeks after that were no different from the first two, but I got used to the drink and for a while I thought it wasn’t working any more. Luckily I was wrong. The honey an cinnamon drink works all the time while being used, even if you don’t see obvious results, believe me it’s working.
I used it for over 8 months without any exercises or diets. I lost over 6 kgs ~ 14 pounds, which was perfect for me - I weighed 126 lbs.
Now I haven’t been using it for a couple of months, but I am still around 128-130 lbs, which is OK for me. I am sure that if I practiced some exercising I would keep it more around 127 lbs.
That’s from me for now. I hope I was helpful.
Good luck dee!

To Zoya and Bianca…
Hello,
First to Zoya:
Of course you can warm the honey and cinnamon drink in the morning if you don’t like it cold. Despite the fact I didn’t like its either, I have never warmed it while I was drinking it.
Second to both of you:
Yes, you can double the amounts of honey and cinnamon (2 tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder) if you like the taste of so much cinnamon, but I don’t see why you should do it as it works great the way I’ve recommended it.
I know that Bianca have also read about these doubled amounts quite some time ago and asked me the same question which are the right quantities. I am sorry for the late response Bianca, but here it is now – there are not right or wrong quantities of honey and cinnamon, it all depends on how you will like 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in only one tea cup.
If you like it then use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, otherwise keep to the regular 1/2 teaspoon.

Hi Galia,
I want to try this honey and cinnamon drink, I have been on various sites reading up on this and a few of them say to drink it a “half hour before breakfast” - is that true?
Thanks,
Kiran

What is cinnamon powder- Pls Tell mee Tamil name.
May 18th, 2007 at 7:24 am
Hello Kiran,
I’ve said only before breakfast, but you can take it half an hour before breakfast, if that’s OK with you.
As most herbal weight loss products are recommended to be taken half to one hour before meal, I think this could work for the honey and cinnamon drink too.
Good Luck!

I’ve heard that at multiple sites honey can help you loose weight. Can I drink a cup of this cinnamon-honey recipe in the morning and then eat teaspoons of honey (liquid form) before bed? Or will that won’t work? Also am I suppose to use liquid or raw honey for this recipe?
May 25th, 2007 at 11:16 am
Hi Smitha,
If you don’t have cinnamon powder at hand, you can grind the sticks and follow the instructions from my post to prepare the honey and cinnamon drink.
I am not sure if it’s OK for the cinnamon sticks to boil in the water for 10 minutes.
If you can’t grind the cinnamon sticks then crack them in small pieces, mix them with the honey and poor the boiling water.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:20 am
Hi tinkleberries,
“Can I drink a cup of this cinnamon-honey recipe in the morning and then eat teaspoons of honey (liquid form) before bed?” - Yes, you can.
“Or will that won’t work?” - It will work. That way it’s even better.
“Also am I suppose to use liquid or raw honey for this recipe?” - As long as it’s honey, use whichever you prefer more.
May 29th, 2007 at 2:50 am
Hello Galia
As told i have started taking as u advised by cracking the cinnamon sticks them in small pieces, mix them with the honey and pour boiling water wait for 1/2 an hour and then strain the drink. I do this morning and night hope to see +ve results.

May 29th, 2007 at 5:59 am
Would it work to take 1 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tsp of honey and just drink it without having let it stand or be strained?
Oh, and if you’re at the lower end of the healthy weight range and don’t need to loose weight, does this cinnammon drink still have the same affect?
June 2nd, 2007 at 12:54 am
As many i’m trying to loose weight.I am at the moment drinking wuLong (woolong) tea in the morning and at dinner time(1wk).Wulong is said to be helpful for weight loss.However i would also like to use the Honey and cinamon mixture as i’ve read it has other benefits other than weight loss.Do you recommend that i keep on drinking the wulong tea and at the same time having the honey & cinnamon mix?Or is this dangerous?
Thanx and regards.
June 2nd, 2007 at 1:24 pm
what the heck! I’ll join you guys too with the drink as of tonight. Oh I weigh 77 kg and will post results to clear any doubts. Just give me 2 weeks.
(be back on 16 June 07)
June 4th, 2007 at 10:06 pm
Hi Galia
I started this Honey & cinnamon mixture a month ago & have been exercising 20mins, 5 days a week but have not seen any result. I am overweight and trying hard but with no luck?????
I will try this for another 2 months and then will decide to continue or accept my weight.
June 6th, 2007 at 5:21 am
Hi there,
Is it necessary to boil the water?
Can I just simply add honey and cinnamon powder to water (not boiled) and drink this? Does it have to be necessarily boiled to have an effect?
Thanks,
GH
June 11th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
I am going to start it. I got this “buzz” and was doing some research and all i found on the net is an old article which has been posted by bloggers and published by editors from time endless. No concrete information.
you post was good it actually has the right amount to be used.
My aunt used it in the same way you have mentioned but she had it only once a day (10 minutes before sleeping). She did not measure her weight but she measure her waist and she lost two inches.
So I feel that all the people who don’t feel they are loosing anything could be even excercising. Muscle weight much more than fat and if you even put on an inch of muscle when you are excercising to lose weight, measure your weight is not the right thing to to measure your progress.
Another important thing. Cinammons flavour has been invented years ago. In cinamon flavoured instant coffee powders etc. And the cinnamon powder that you get in the super markets(or packed ones) could very well be sawdust that has been coloured and artificially flavoured. I think it is better to get the bark and powder it yourself.
Readymade cinnamond powder can be very old lose all its aroma and has to be adultrated in some form or the other.
Trust me because when i got the ingredients i got the costliest honey of the shelf(I think someone in the comments too did that but i don’t think he got the costliest cinamon off the shelf) and got the best cinaamon. It was in foot long piecies. And the aroma just fills the whole room.
ready powder cannot smell like that.
One more thing Cinamon can be confused for cassia and infact many powdered forms use cassia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassia) It is also known as “bastard cinnamon”. I dont think anyone is going to lose weight with this.
True cinamon is also known as cylon cinamon.
therea re other varaints that is indonesian and vietnamese. So avoid anything that is from these countries. Specifically ask for Cylon cinammon.
Cinnamomum zeylanicum is the botanical name of the stuff that really works.
I request you Galia Ivanova to include the above in your article. Caution them to use only freshly ground cinamon and only Cylon cinnamon. Even pure honey is a key factor.
Thanks for the infor Galia Ivanova. I will report my results.
Have you heard of Garcinia cambogia(malabar tamarind/Kodumpulli) I lost 10 kgs in 20 days. I stopped it because i was irregular and I eat a lot. So this has happened many times I eat “Kodumpulli” for a week or so and then stop and then eat nicely and put that weight back on. I have eaten it many times. Once i was on a diet of 2-3 oily fried stuff for breakfast, tibetean food for lunch(with butter tea) and lost of snacks and dominos pizzza for dinner. For a week i was busy and went wild with home delivery. But i relegiously eat “Kodumpulli” before each meal at the end of the week when i checked my weight i had lost 3 kgs.
Well i mentioned this so that you might want to try it and put it up for everyone and also i wanted to know that can i also have “Kodumpulli” while I am having this honey and cimmanon. I hope there are no side-effects. Please let me know.
thank you
June 16th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
Hello,
My concern with the cinnomon is that it lowers blood sugar…So please warn people who have hypoglycemia…
June 22nd, 2007 at 6:19 am
Hi,

June 25th, 2007 at 2:12 am
Hey Sapta, I read your comment and i think this could better help you check this link: http://www.diethour.com/protein-diet.htm
These diets can help you lose up to 20 lbs a month. In you case you need two months and you’ll be fit again and what’s more you don’t need to workout at all
July 10th, 2007 at 6:55 am

Hi everyone,
Im not sure of the honey-cinnamon drink but try this positrim drink which is a meal replacement drink.It flushes away water from your body and helps in weight management. You have to anyhow exercise while taking this drink.
I lost 3 kgs in one month.
Hope it helps everyone.
July 16th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Hi Galia,
I just wanted to let you know what I found today. It’s a new weight loss product Proactol that offers 5 day trial period with free shipping. I believe it won’t cost you anything to order it and test it.
Please, have a look and let me know what you think. Click here:Proactol Review

September 13th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
Hi……
I have just started to drink the mixture from yesterday. I have lots of hope from this mixture. i just want to ask any certain terms that we have to follow while we take this mixture. Means the mixture has to be taken before half an hour of breakfast and is there any restriction for eating. As per my requirement i eat no over eating.
Thanking you………..
September 20th, 2007 at 5:27 am
I don’t know what I am doing wrong; I drank the honey/cinnamon for a week and have not lost one single pound.
September 29th, 2007 at 9:51 am
HI my MOM HAS BEEN EATING THE CINNAMON/HONEY AND SHE PUTS IT ON HER OATMEAL EVERY MORING AND SHE SOMETIMES PUTS IT ON HER TOAST IN THE MORNING AND SHE HAS BEEN LOSING WEIGHT SLOWLY BUT IT DOES WORK AND YOU DONT HAVE TO MIX IT WITH WATER. SHE PUT 1 TBSP OF EACH AND SHE IS DOING GREAT. GIVE THAT A TRY LADIES AND SEE IF IT WORKS MAYBE EVERY OTHER DAY TRY THE DRINK. JUST SWITCH IT AROUND.
GOOD LUCK
KATHY
September 30th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Today is my first day trying the honey and cinnamon. I will post again in 2 weeks.
October 4th, 2007 at 9:39 am
Hi MONA and Lulu…
To Mona,
You are not doing anything wrong, just give yourself more time - one week is way too short.
To Lulu,
I am happy for you. However, 2 weeks are also not enough time for obvious weight loss, but I will keep my fingers crossed for you
What I know for sure is that you will start feeling full of energy really soon.
Good luck to all!
October 4th, 2007 at 10:52 am
I just started the Honey and Cinnamon tea last night. I’ve tried it in the past and can say that it really does work. I am 165 right now. I will post as my weight drops
October 8th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
Hi, my question is about the preperation. by filtering it do you mean to drink the transparent liquitd or the liquid that is sticky after stirring it.
October 10th, 2007 at 1:36 am
Hi huma,
By filtering I mean to drink the transparent liquid, not the sticky cinnamon honey sediment.
October 10th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Hi Falia
Thanks for your reply.
October 10th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
oops sorry for mispelling your name Galia, will keep you updated. thanks once again
October 15th, 2007 at 9:46 am
Hi there,
Does also eating cinnamon by itself help to lose weight…or is it the combination of the 2? My b/f and i have just started this drink last night, and hopefully it works, even if we are not too much overweight will we still see a difference? thanks
October 21st, 2007 at 9:42 am
can we prepare the mixure of Honey and Cinnamon powder for month at a time i.e 30 spoons of Honey and 30 spoons of Cinnamon Powder and use one spoon a day.
October 22nd, 2007 at 9:42 am
I recently tried mixing cinnamon in with my coffee grinds in the morning before bruing my coffee. It is delicious and has a wonderfull aroma. I looked into the benefits of cinnamon and was excited to see it is a good source fo fiber that prmotes weightloss. I am going to add this to my diet every day and will tell of my results. I will also only eat 1400 calories a day and am trying to get to 30g. of dietary fiber a day.
October 25th, 2007 at 11:01 pm
I started on this honey and cinnamon last night and had another one this morning on an empty stomach, but i didnt filter it. Is it ok.
I also dont know if it is related, but i developed severe headache today.
your comments please
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:37 pm
HI GUYS
I’VE BEEN DOING THE “TEA†FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND ITS SO AMAZING WHAT A DIFFRENCE IT MADE. AT FIRST I WAS SPECTICAL BUT STILL TRIED IT AND OF COURSE I DO A BALANCE DIET, I CHEAT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK BUT STILL THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN AMAZING. I’VE LOST APPROXAMETLY 7 POUNDS IT MIGHT SOUND TOO LITTLE BUT I’VE LOST MORE INCHES THAN POUNDS, PEOPLE ARE NOTICING THE DIFFRENCE AND SO DO I. IF SOMEONE IS HAVING DIFFICULTY LOOSING WEIGHT YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY AND YOU’LL SEE YOU WONT REGRET IT.
November 4th, 2007 at 7:42 am
Hi Ghalia,
Have read all the comments twice already and further to that need to understand a few things:-
1) Can we re-heat the mixture in the morning before we have it?
2) Don’t the sugar level increrase with this mixture ?
3) Can we give it a gap & then strat again whenever one wants to lose weight or does one have to take it regularly, then for maximum how long?
Thanks to please advise, ASAP.
Thank you in advance for all your advice.
November 4th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Here is the thing. People have problems with weight loss for a variety of reasons. For some people it is because of eating in excess, thyroid problems, or a number of other health reasons. You need to go to your doctor to find out if your weight problem is due to a medical condition so you can treat your specific problem. As for myself, I have done that and have had a variety of test done and have found out that I have insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome. In this case cinnamon might help. I just take straight cinnamon in a teaspoon and drink it with water twice a day. It has worked so far for me. Because cinnamon lowers sugar in the blood stream, my body doesn’t have the high amount of sugar to store as fat. I also exercise three time a week for a hour at a time and I don’t eat white bread and refined sugar. That means no candy, chips, cookies, white bread, or other junk food. My diet consist of organic fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grain often not in the form of bread, lean meats, dairy, and limited amounts of fats mostly good fats such as olive oil. I still have 50 pounds to go but at least I have now started to loose some weight when before, even working with doctors and exercising, I wasn’t able to lose any. Good luck to those of you who were like me and did what the dietitions told you and exercised and could not lose weight!! I had to do a lot of research on my own and decided for myself I would try eating organic foods, herbs, spices, and keep practicing good eating habits in combination with exercise. It has been a long journey for me and I hope this is a bright new beginning.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:58 am
Hello All,
I’m 6′4″ tall and before I tried the mixture I weighed 245lbs. I got the recipie from another site where like a previous poster mentioned, the mixture was 2 teaspoons honey and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a cup of boiling water. As per the intructions I had a cup in the morning a 1/2 an hour before breakfast and then one right after dinner. I did this every day for two weeks without doing a ton of excersise and lost 15 lbs. I stopped for after 3 weeks and gained 6 pounds. I started working out a few times a week and lost maybe a pound per week. I felt energetic but I was not losing much weight. I went back to taking the drink and noticed that I was losing 2lbs per week. It’s been about three months in total and I’m a little under 230lbs ( I was naughty for a week and gained a couple of pounds again. ). I’ll keep this up but I have a feeling that I’m reaching a point of diminishing returns which isn’t a bad thing as I’m not obese but just need to lose a bit of ab fat which I don’t think is going to happen by just drinking cinnamon and honey.
I made changes to my diet prior to discovering this mixture which was cutting the amount that I ate. I eat smaller portions and don’t snack at night. This helped me to slow down the weight gain but didn’t help me lose any. Eating less plus using the mixture gave great results. I have to try cutting out the refined sugar and stick to eating whole grain bread and pasta.
I wonder if there are any scientific studies about this that would shed some light on the matter of who would actually benefit from this and to what extent. As with any of these weight loss regimens they aren’t for everyone. It did help me though and I think it’s continuing to do so. I’m not losing weight as fast I did when I first started out but I’m still losing so I’ll stick with it.
November 9th, 2007 at 5:10 am
[…] Honestly since honey and cinnamon for weight loss has become my most popular post, I think cinnamon and honey have become my little obsession (in the good meaning of the word). […]
November 10th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

November 22nd, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Hi i just read a few sites about site diet and i was wondering if making one big batch at once then just re heating a cup at a time would work too? i want to try it becuase it seems to have a lot of benifits but don’t have a lot of time to make a new cup 2 times a day?
November 25th, 2007 at 11:50 am
Hello

Hi cindrella,
In fact using a coffee filter is not a must, I also have tried an ordinary strainer and it works OK for me. As for the thin cloth it is fine too.
What’s left in the coffee filter, the strainer or the thin cloth should be taken out - it IS NOT for drinking. Not that is so bad. After all we talk about the honey and cinnamon “drink” here not the “gelly”

hello some time ago i ran across the honey and cinnamon for weightloss and was going to try it and completely forgot about it. while surfing the net i ran acrossed it again and tonight i am going to start it along with an exercise program i have been following for 3 days now. i am 200 lbs. if not more by now and i have to lay down to zip my pants and i am fed up with it. i am not going out to buy larger pants, especially when i have box after box of smaller ones stored away.
i will keep in touch to let anyone know of any kind of weight loss.

Hi Galia,
Just read the blog and I too want to try it out. Will keep you posted on my situation. Would like to add that weight today is 90Kgs and my target is to lose between 30 to 35kgs. So here goes. Wish me luck and God bless.

To Naaz and tahlum and all my readers interested in Kodumpulli…
I see that you both showed interest in what raj said about a fruit called Kodumpulli. Its official name is Garcinia cambogia (aka Gambooge, Malabar Tamarind or Kodumpulli). Here’s what I found about it:
Native Southeast Asian fruit. Contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) as active compound. It’s the HCA that gives Garsinia cambogia its great properties and HCA is the reason why so many weight loss products and dietary supplements.
HCA acts as a modulator of lipid metabolism meaning that high doses of Garcinia Cambogia extract containing HCA can significantly suppress fat accumulation and accelerates fat break down (proved by a study). Garcinia combogia doesn’t allow rebounce of the lost weight.
I managed to find a herbal product that actually contains Garcinia combogia (Kodumpulli) as its main ingredient along with other herbal ingredients that aid weight loss. Check it out

Gonna try this hope it works tonight is the first my question is does any kind of alcoholic drink combine with honey and cinnamon? I need to lose about i5 or 20 lbs just cross fingers it does what people say don’t taste too bad

I don’t have a lot of time to make the tea and am looking to shave a few minutes off of the prep time… Can I mix the tea and leave it for a few days? Example, if I make enough tea to last a week on a Sunday, can I use that tea all week with the same results if I just warm up a cup at a time?

hi,
Think this is helping to take the nibble desire away from me I have 100 calories after dinner at fivish and don’t even have a yen to nibble on anything usual I drink water and have not done much of that I think what you eat after six goes to fat and I have always wanted to eat in the late afternoon plan to walk my mile also had been doing so but it is too cold right now

I am having a hard time drinking this tea - the cinnamon is just too much for me. Is it possible to put the honey in hot water, drink it and take 2 cinnamon capsuels? Do you think this would work?

To tomah and mskirby…
I know what you mean. The taste is good the first couple of days and you love it. But then when you get used to it, you start to drink it thinking only about the long lasting funny taste of sweet honey and rich cinnamon flavor in your mouth. I kept telling myself: It’s for greater good and 3-4 sips twice a day aren’t that bad if I reach my goal.

thanks for your responce. I ve been reading a lot about the garcinia and found it is effective in weight loss and I ve been using the cinnamon drink daily but not religiously because i have rheumatism and some days it is so bad that I have to take painkillers and several herbal concotions that I ve been advised so i miss out on the drink but it also helps in the desease. I will now order the product and see because the fruit is not available in my country.

In the morning, when i drink half a cup cinnamon honey water and i go to sleep again and then i drink my tea when i wake up again. So i was wondering, When is the best time to drink the water?
January 31st, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Hie…
I received an email concerning this honey and cinnamon aiding weight loss…and i have started to take it for a week now…just wanna ask…is it ok if i don’t filter the mixture and just drink it as it is?
p.s i dont see any changes yet…
February 4th, 2008 at 3:22 am
Hi Galia,
My question is similar to that of Naz, will there be no problem drinking the mixture together without filtering?
I’ve been taking the mixture ,well I call it “cinnamon juice”, religiously for 1 1/2 weeks now, no change yet, but I’m not losing hope.
I’ll keep you updated as well.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

hi all,
may i please infrom you people who ve started using the honey cinnamon mixture it really works and i started it and ve lost about 3 kgs for using it for about three or four weeks you really loose a lot of fat int eh body and you start to even put on clothes which were already small for you. use it with patience and you shall notice the difference. Dont expect very quick response and each body ahs its own mechanism of responding to such things so to some will be faster but to some twill take time give youself a montha nd you will see a very big difference. Galia thanks again.
