    1/4 teaspoon from AF-O, 1/8 teaspoon O-Af. I know that seems like an impossibly small amount but the ceylon cinnamon is really good at lowering blood sugar and higher doses have caused both super low blood sugar and bleeding issues. Do NOT take the amount in a supplement, it's too much.

    It will say on the label. Avoid "cassia" cinnamon. You may want to get capsules from a health food store because they're more regulated than the cinnamon in the store. If you get capsules you can open them and use just the amount you intend to.

    Okay, thank you.
    I checked just the regular grocery store and it all just said cinnamon, nothing else, or Saigon. I'll look in a health food store. Should I also stop it if I sway long enough (without conceiving) and become a healthy weight?

    Yes it's fine to drop it whenever you want. I would have you wean off it though, don't just stop it all at once.

    I have another question, so I wanted to just add on to this post if that's okay.

    Are fruit smoothies okay? I know within limits, but do I even count it?
    One I really like has coconut puree, pineapple juice, raspberry, and banana.
    I just dont know if it counts or not, being fruit. But I also know coconut is calorie dense and I'm unsure about juices.

    I also would do them with a meal, of course.

    You need to count calories in all fruit and fruit juice. Just not protein or fat (exception is avocado and olives since they are high in fat, I'd def. count that)

    Coconut is not fruit but a nut (because it has protein and fat) and you would need to count everything in that - protein, fat, and calories.

    High carb veg (things that taste sweet and starchy) and fruit, you count calories, just not protein or fat. (again, the exception to this is beans and legumes, since they have a high amount of usable protein you count that.) Only low carb veg (things that do not taste sweet or starchy) are free and unlimited.

    Oh okay, that makes sense.
    Thank you for the quick reply.

    So I won't count fat or protein (except in my coconut puree), but I will keep it in calorie limits. Which it shouldn't be many calories since it's just fruit and almond milk for most of the smoothies. Maybe some juices.

    I assume I count everything for the almond milk, correct?
