The sweet ingredient that could help burn visceral belly fat in 'weeks' – study

While this is only small research conducted on animals, a study, published in the journal Clinical Nutrition, suggested humans might be able to reap the benefits as well.

Looking at 12 trials that included 786 subjects, cinnamon was proven to “significantly” decrease waist circumference in 12 weeks.

In case you aren’t aware, waist circumference is one of the markers of visceral fat adiposity, according to Science Direct.

The study concluded that cinnamon supplementation “significantly” affects obesity measures and could be recommended as a weight-reducing supplement.
