3. Filter the liquid into a cup and divide into two half-cup quantities.
4. Consume one half an hour before breakfast and the second half an hour before going to sleep at night.

Helpful Tips

Keep these helpful tips in mind:

• Some proponents recommend adding raw honey after the water has boiled to retain nutrients and thus the benefits.
• By following this regimen, it is suggested that a dieter may easily lose three to five pounds within one week without changing anything else within his or her diet. Differences in results may be due to the cinnamon used. There are three types of cinnamon available in stores: Ceylon cinnamon, Indonesian cinnamon, and Cassia cinnamon.
• Keep in mind that while Cassia is sold as a cinnamon, it is not actually the same spice and may, therefore, produce different results.
