Desperation

Do desperate times really call for desperate measures? I believe I am the poster child for this particular question of the universe. How desperate am I to lose weight? Not desperate to exercise, yet. BUT, I found this online:

WEIGHT LOSS:

Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

Cool!! So if I drink honey and cinnamon powder I can lose weight WITHOUT effort?! So I googled it. I found another site that said the same thing, only gave the recipe:

Cinnamon and Honey formula for weight loss:

This should be prepared at night before going to bed.

1. Use 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts raw honey. 1/2 tsp cinnamon to 1 tsp honey is recommended but can use more or less as long as in the ratio of 1 to 2. --- so 1 tsp cinnamon to 2 tsp raw honey is ok too as an example.

2. Boil 1 cup...that is 8 oz of water.

3. Pour water over cinnamon and cover and let it steep for 1/2 hour..(30 minutes)

4. Add honey now that it has cooled. Never add honey when it is hot as the heat will destroy the enzymes and other nutrients in the raw honey.

5. Drink 1/2 of this directly before going to bed. The other 1/2 should be covered and refrigerated.

6. In the morning drink the other half that you refirgerated...but do not re-heat it...drink it cold or at room temp only.

Do not add anything else to this recipe. No lemon, no lime, no vinegar. It is not necessary to drink it more time in a day...it is only effective on an empty stomach and primarily at night.

This works for most people. Inches are lost before any measurement on the scales. This program will cause significant inches lost...but you will reach a plateau and may not lose anymore. This is because the cinnamon and honey cause a cleansing effect in the digestive tract and cleans out parasites and other fungus and bacteria that slow down the digestion...causing a toxic build up. (Lowers pH) Once this is all cleaned out then you will most likely have the weight loss slow down.

Other side effects from a cleansing can occur because of toxins being released...if this occurs, cut back on how much you use or take a break.

Additionally people report increased energy, more sex drive, and feeling happier/mood enhancer.

COOL! How hard can this be?! So I tried it. Except I didn't read the directions BEFORE I went into the kitchen to prepare. All I could remember of the recipe was 2 to 1, and a t ... so therefore, it MUST have said 1 TBSP of Cinnamon to 2 TBSP of Honey ... Right?! WRONG!! OMG! I decided I'd doubled it, so I dumped half into another cup to water it down. Good enough? NO! It wasn't until I gagged down 8oz of cinnamon & honey that I came in and REchecked the recipe. I'd like quadrupled it. HAHAHAHA, that's not a mistake I'll make again. While I was gagging it down my 13yo daughter asked "Why are you drinking it if it's so disgusting?" My answer: "Desperation!"
