Lose Weight & Stop Cravings!!!

LisaPetrarca by LisaPetrarca Talking(July 2007) (rank 105th)
We've all been there, the moment you look in the mirror and wonder, WHAT HAPPENED? Whether you've just had a baby or you are just putting on the pounds as you age, I found an incredible way to stop the cravings. I have a terrible sweet tooth. The more I would
try to diet, the worse my cravings would get. I wanted to take diet pills but whenever I tried, I had terrible side effects. Between the outbursts of anger, the shortness of breath or feeling jittery, I decided that I needed to figure out something different. So, since I love to read and research, I hit the books. The one thing that all the diet pills had in common was Chromium Picolinate. I decided to just try the Chromium Picolinate by itself, a safe dose is 800 to 1000 mcg's a day. It is found in your local health food store. I take it faithfully every morning and after about a month, I noticed I no longer craved my ice cream, candy bars or cookies. When I found myself turning down the chocolate cake that my husband offered me at a birthday party, I knew it was working. Don't get me wrong, I still eat sweets, I just don't want it as often, in such large amounts, or before I go to bed, as I did before taking Chromium Picolinate. Moderation is what I have been able to achieve with the supplements. So, two years later, I have lost weight and kept it off, without the dreaded DIET! Try it, it's natural, with no side effects, and hopefully you will see the same positive results that I have.

Re: Lose Weight & Stop Cravings!!!

Just a note to let everyone know that in this months Oprah magazine (August 2007) there is an article written by Dr. David L. Katz in which he states, "If you have abdomnal weight gain, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol or constant hunger, it may signify insulin resistance, and I recommend Chromium Picolinate, 400 micrograms twice daily."  

I was excited to see the article.  It backs up what I noticed since I started taking them two years ago!!!  Yay!!

I was put onto these from the Blackmores range (sugar balance) and they are great. I just started a new healthy eating menu (I hate the word diet) and it is fantastic. No afternoon cravings!!!!

Me Too!!!!  Try it, it will stop your constant cravings.  Don't get me wrong, I still eat  sweets,  I just don't want it as often or such large amounts, due to the Chromium Picolinate.

Hope it helps you.  Give it a month to get in your system though!!  

P.S. If it helped me (3 candy bars a day, everyday), it can help anyone!

Re: Lose Weight & Stop Cravings!!!
I lost 7 lbs in a month and a half.  That is without excercising or changing my diet, because I am not disciplined enough to do either.  The only difference was I no longer ate the junk food ALL the time and especially before bed, due to the fact that I no longer craved it!
