Have you ever had an experience where you suddenly gained some perspective and reached a better understanding of yourself, your life and your priorities?  Well, that’s just what happened to me this weekend. My friend, Susan threw a dessert potluck party at her home, and asked ten of her friends to each bring our favorite after-dinner dish to share.   When I received the invitation, I was excited but also panic stricken.   I truly didn’t know what to do.  I was so focused on my weight loss goals that I thought maybe I should skip the party and stay home.

There have been many anecdotal stories about cinnamon consumption and weight loss.  But, is there any scientific evidence that cinnamon could help you lose weight?  Now, there just may be.  A recent study conducted in England supports the idea that cinnamon could help you lose weight, lower body mass and reduce waist circumference.
