Is it a good idea to eat 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon before going to bed? I tried it at lunch on my apple slices and in my coffee but really my blood sugar crashes like crazy 😝! So thinking of taking it right before going to bed so i don’t feel the hunger.
I was taking cinnamon tablets twice a day. I'm having a girl.
Hi Veggiemom what mg were the cinnamon tablets you took?
NO. Cinnamon is not right for everyone, or even MOST. I want only about 3-5% of people using cinnamon for exactly the reason you mention. It's super strong and will make you have extreme blood sugar crashes. Only people with severe PCOS or more than 30-50 lbs to spare should be using cinnamon. Even for them, 1/2 teaspoon may be too much. for those who MUST use cinnamon, I want you to start off with 1/4 teaspoon during the FP and then drop back to 1/8 teaspoon during the LP and then gradually wean off.
this is TEASPOON not spoon full or table spoon. A teaspoon is a very small measurement. Cinnamon is strong stuff and it takes only a little to lower your blood sugar.
Use only ceylon cinnamon and not cassia cinnamon.
DO NOT TAKE CINNAMON TABLETS PLEASEQuote:

YOU GUYS CAN SERIOUSLY DIE FROM SOME OF THESE SUPPLEMENTS
Eek ok I’ll stop. I was taking them sporadically - it’s Ceylon cinnamon . Haven’t experienced any effects when I have used them but if you think it’s best not to I’ll cut them out :-)

See, here's the thing, Deer - you actually HAVE PCOS, right? So you ~may~ be in the group of people that can take them, but when I see one person say "oh yeah I was taking those" (and BTW taking too much) and then all of a sudden people are asking them what dose to take, I really must insist you guys wait for my response, if that makes any sense. These things are not candy, even when something sounds relatively harmless, like cinnamon, when you take it in medicinal quantities, it has medicinal effects, including making your blood sugar so low that you will faint, making your blood really thin, and drug interactions that can harm your liver and kidneys.Quote:

Can i ask you how many time in advance you did take it? I’m yet 2 months on the fiet and have still 20 (approximately)days till my attempt and from now on i want to try to take it every day. Before did take it maybe 4 times a week.Quote:

Do you have severe PCOS?? Do you have 30-50 pounds or more to spare? Have you told me all the supplements you are taking already so I can be absolutely sure you don't have any drug interactions?? Then do not take cinnamon and do not EVER take it in pill form!!!
