Cinnamon

[nick00]

Hey, i was doing some reading and cinnamon is being touted as a great fat loss agent due to it acting like insulin. Is it good for keto diet? and when during the day should it be taken?

[Nik Antunovich]

It's a pretty good antioxidant to. I use it at least once every couple of days for flavouring foods along with cocoa. Think it's the healthy option to flavour bland whey and other bland foods like my morning oats.

It's a spice. Just add it to your food.

Yes it is definately good to use Cinnamon whilst on a keto diet. Cinnamon is a glucose disposal agent so is particularly good while trying to get into ketosis as it will help you achieve ketosis faster. While not as potent as ALA it still works quite well. Take it first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon.

Well, I just learnt something. How potent is it - I'm assuming not very? How much would you need to eat for it to have a practical effect?

Cinnulin PF is a patented water soluble extract claimed to be quite potent by the patent holder, it is used in various fat loss agents and also as part of claimed "next generation" delivery system due to effects on insulin. The resellers of cinnulin PF also suggest that normal cinnamon that could be toxic and that there are no toxins in cinnamon.

I remember BSN Cellmass as one of the first versions of creatine utilizing the patented extract as part of delivery their system.

Toxic or not I love cinnamon with any vanilla flavored whey...

It will normally get you into ketosis about 12 hours sooner. I normally get people to take about 1/2 a teaspoon twice a day to help manage sugar cravings.

Personally I like 1/2 teaspoon in with my choc protein shake.

Also makes a nice addition to my chocolate ommelette

My goodness, what a well-reasoned and thought-provoking argument. With one sentence you have completely altered my understanding of nutrition and shown me the error of my ways. Please, continue to enlighten me, wise one.

Big Kiwi reccommends Keto on his web site, he uses it. Quite a few people on this site have used it at one time or another quite successfully, Jo Stewart uses it too.

Still doesnt sit right with me, sound unhealthy. Sure some people use it with success but do they tell you everyting else they actually put into their body. Ronin I just read some of your work out journal and now realise that you are just a wealth of knowledge hahahaha

Mate, I never claimed to be a wealth of knowledge. I just do what seems to work for me. I also keep my mind open to new opportunities to learn and grow, and maintain a willingness to try new techniques. I recognise that other people can and do employ different training and nutrition methods to me. I don't come on here and make a comment rubbishing others' practises without providing any form of reference to back up my statements.

Perhaps if your post had been a little more constructive, possibly giving reasons for your belief that keto is "shit", I might have given it a bit more credence. Have you tried it? Have you researched it? Or are you just picking a bandwagon to jump on? By your own admission "Sure some people use it with success"...does this not give lie to your belief that it is "shit"?
