    Chromium?

    has any one used it to assist with cravings and weight loss?
    today is day 3 for me and i have had a thumping head ache, not sure if its because im going through sugar withdrawals or for some other reason?

    Chromium is supposed to help with sugar cravings, its a common supplement taken on low carb diets. I never noticed a difference but I am not much of a sweet tooth anyway... also to consider that supplements only help if your dietary intake is inadequate.

    It's got to be in a specific form or it can't be utilised, although I imagine they wouldn't bother selling it unless it was....

    If in doubt stop taking it (I know someone who got the same thing from it), and get onto the brewers yeast instead. That stuff rocks on heaps of levels!

    I think I get over sugar cravings in about a week - so you might not have long to go on that side of it?
