Did you know that you could drop a dress size or two just by having a large spoonful of honey before bed time every night? Sounds too good to be real! Then read on.

A revolutionary finding in the world of weight loss, it has been found that eating honey every night could trigger metabolic changes in your body and even burn fat while you are fast asleep.

According to the so-called “Honey Diet” founded by nutritionist Mike Mclnnes, you can enjoy your favorite sweets and snacks like bread, puddings, muffins and biscuits — usually banned on other diets, given they are prepared with honey and not sugar.

By substituting sugar with honey, as well as taking a tablespoon of it with a hot drink before bed time will shun down your sugar cravings altogether.

 

McInnes argue that most of us struggle to lose weight because of our addiction to processed and sugary food.

'Even supposedly healthy low-fat foods are very often packed with hidden sugars or white flour [which the body swiftly converts to sugar],' he says. 'This means our blood-sugar levels bubble away on maximum all day long. The body deals with this sugar overload by releasing the hormone insulin, which filters it out of the blood and sends it off to be stored as fat.'

It is the 'hungry brain' that triggers impossible-to-resist sugar cravings that derails your diet.

'A hungry brain is a stressed brain,' says Mr McInnes. 'In desperation, it will send out a cocktail of chemical messages to try to drum up sugar from any other possible source.'

“It's honey that holds the key to breaking this vicious cycle, reversing the process and reducing nocturnal stress, allowing you to sleep better, so the body can get on with the essential process of recovery and repair - burning fat as it does so,” claims the nutritionist.
