I get the WORST cravings for sweets in the afternoon and evening.  I mean, they are intense.  I eat pretty clean . .  don't load up on a bunch of carbs . .  stay away from processed foods, etc.  I try to get a good balance of protein, fats, and complex carbs at lunch but no matter what I do, the sugar cravings hit me.  I've been looking into supplements that might help with this and came across Chromium and L-Glutamine.  Anyone use these and, if so, do you notice a marked decrease in your sugar cravings?

I haven't tried L-Glutamine, but I have found chromium helps.

An experienced pharmacist told me chromium does work against sweet cravings.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
