IKP Essentials: Cinnamon

I use cinnamon every day to flavor my IKP Coffee (the recipe is in my new eBook), smoothies, and various other dishes. Not only does it taste great, but a slew of scientific research on cinnamon is showing that it can and should be a great addition to your low-carb or ketogenic diet.

Studies are verifying that cinnamon has an effect of 3-5% on resting blood sugar, which is equal to the amount of reduction of older forms of diabetes drugs. High resting blood sugar is what is referred to as "pre-diabetes," and is something anyone who has it should be aiming to alleviate, as the next step in the process if full blown type 2 diabetes. Another benefit of cinnamon is a statistically significant decrease in LDL (the so called "bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides, although studies have shown that how much improvement is dependent on each individual person. 

Clearly you don't want to replace your diabetes drugs with cinnamon, but as part of your diet, cinnamon is a cheap, flavorful, and potentially beneficial addition to your overall regimen. Experts recommend using Ceylon cinnamon or even daily cinnamon capsules to help reduce resting blood sugar and improve your blood profile.  You can purchase Ceylon cinnamon in most quality grocery stores and online. Go for the organic kind if money isn't an issue.

Tomorrow, I'll be sharing my power-food smoothie recipe that just happens to use cinnamon as a flavorful and beneficial ingredient, so be sure to check back them.  Until then, keep your fat high, your protein moderate, and your carbs low. And start using some cinnamon!

Introducing The Intermittent Keto Protocol!

I apologize I've been missing in action for so long on the blog, but it's been for a good reason!  For the past 3-plus months, I've been putting all my fat-loss knowledge into a single 75-page manual called The Intermittent Keto Protocol! In it, you're going to learn about some amazing things!

EFFORTLESS FAT LOSS WITH THE CYCLICAL KETOGENIC DIET
The heart of the Intermittent Keto Protocol is centered around harnessing the power of the low-carb cyclical ketogenic diet.  You will learn how eating things like bacon and butter on a daily basis turn your body into a fat burning machine whileLOWERING your risk of things such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Forget everything you think you know about low-carb dieting. If you do it correctly, it is almost safe to call it a "cure-all"  for nearly everything plaguing society today. Not only will I teach you how to become fat-adpated, I have also included numerous tools to help you on your journey:
  • Extensive low-carb food lists
  • Grocery shopping guide
  • 30 meal and side-dish ideas + links to a whole world of amazing low-carb recipes

DISEASE PREVENTION AND FAT LOSS THROUGH INTERMITTENT FASTING

What if I told you that by skipping a few meals a week, you could dramatically improve your chances of preventing things such as cancer, Alzheimer's, and several autoimmune diseases? Well, it's not science-fiction, it's intermittent fasting. The Intermittent Keto Protocol will teach you how to easily perform a few short fasts per week to not only lose fat, but to ward off disease and enact anti-aging processes through the natural process of autophagy. There is no such thing as a detox diet, but the power of intermittent fasting delivers on what those diet systems promise to do... IT ACTUALLY DETOXES YOU!

OCCASIONALLY EATING JUNK FOOD OFFERS SUPERCHARGED FAT LOSS!
Every week or two, depending on your goals, you will be allowed a strategic window where you can indulge in all the delicious foods you've been missing such as pizza, pasta, and donuts, while ENHANCING your fat burning potential, making for better workouts during the week, and just generally making you a happier person.  That's right.  You don't need to feel guilty about eating the foods you were missing.  In fact, eating them occasionally is fully encouraged on The Intermittent Keto Protocol!

BUT WAIT.. THERE'S MORE!
I know losing fat, preventing disease, and still getting to eat your favorite foods on occasion may sound too good to be true, but it isn't. Everything provided to you in The Intermittent Keto Protocol is backed by scientific research, and on top of the already amazing benefits provided, IKP will teach you:
  • How low-carb dieting is superior in preserving muscle compared to low-fat diets
  • The proper way to (optionally) exercise on a low-carb diet. No rehashed workouts like other books give you
  • The mental side of weight loss, complete with a pre-made goal sheet to help get you started
  • An extensive scientific explanation of almost every weight loss myth you've ever been told

A nutritional program like this would easily cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars, assuming you were able to find a dietitian willing to prescribe you something that works this well. But I'm not going to charge you thousands of dollars. For the first few months of release, The Intermittent Keto Protocol will be available for the ridiculously low price of $25.00! This deal won't last forever, so be sure to jump at the opportunity to learn how to blast fat, prevent disease, and still eat donuts. I look forward to helping you on your journey to better health!
