cinnamon really works. my mom doesn't have pcos but she is a diabetic. her sugar level would stay up in the 200's. should took actos and lantus and still sugars were sky high since take the cinnamon her sugars have drop almost down to normal without any change in diet! Wish u girls luck!

I've been on cinnamon for almost 2 weeks. I don't crave sugar or carbs anymore. That's remarkable since before cinnamon, I HAD to have it and I always longed for something crunchy or something sweet or some bread... Still, when I arrived home from work, I felt as if I had not eaten all day.
Right now I am up to 2000 MG/day and I feel so such better. I'm more in control of what I eat.
In November, I start the IR Diet. So, I really needed the help if I am to be successful. Before the cinnamon, I didn't feel like I had a chance w/ that diet.
DH also started cinnamon. He takes 2/1000MG tabs 2/day. He says it's the best thing that ever happened to him because he doesn't long for carbs anymore. Trust me, he had it BAD. He had to have lots and lots of bread and frequented the buffets (especially the chinese buffets) all the time. Now, In just one week, I can see that he has lost inches. He says that he feels alot better and he doesn't crave carbs anymore. He is really excited.
I haven't stepped on the scale yet. This is because I want to focus on how my new diet make me feel for now, weight loss comes up next in November.

I've been taking Vitex for a week or two, and am totally going to buy some cinnamon supplements now that I've read the articles here.
Does anyone know if cinnamon tea would have the same effect, or do you have to actually ingest the powder itself? I have some yummy teabags that are just decaf black tea and ground cinnamon.
Thanks to everyone who has shared this information!

Woohoo! I totally belong to this thread
Ive been taking Cinnamon + Vitex for almost a month (since Oct 3rd) and Im doing great I think! Not sure if Ive lost any weight but Im not weighing myself either. Id rather just not know lmao My sleepiness after meals has completely gone away though. I don't take naps in the evenings anymore since I started Cinnamon!
Im really excited about this cycle because Ive had the time for my supplements to kick in a little (I think?) So I feel like this is a new beginning!
CD 13 already yay!
