Chromium: anyone taken this to suppress appetite or lose weight?

[MrJohnsonAteMyCustard]

I read that chromium could possibly help with food cravings, and also with the metabolism of fat. So I gave it a go and have been taking it for a couple of weeks. It appears that I've dropped a couple of pounds.Plus, my appetite has decreased somewhat. A coupe of pounds doesn't sound a great deal, I realise, but as someone who practically has to remove a body part to lose weight - this is big

I'd be interested to know if anyone else has tried chromium and whether it had any effect on your weigh/appetite? Positive or negative.

Yes it's well know to control blood sugars! I take it regularly and have recently given a bottle to a friend of mine and she has reported it has helped massively with sweet cravings!

Sorry for the late reply - I have taken it before and I think it helped but I can't remember how much I took. I have seen suggested 200mg morning and 200mg at lunch. How much are you taking?

Oops - slightly delayed response here. I'm taking 200mg twice a day. After the initial reduction in cravings, my appetite now seems to be out of control Mind you, that may be because I've upped the gym work a tad. I'll keep taking it and hope things settle down.

Good luck with it, I'm going to try too, and try to make sure I take it! Remembering the second dose is the problem...

Sounds interesting. I'm going to give it a go I think.

cinnamon is also supposed to be good for stabilising blood sugar. I often have a pukka cinnamon tea in the afternoon when i have an energy slump- it might be placebo effect but it usually perks me up and stops me snacking.

Hi all,
I've been reading your posts and wanted to know how safe it is to take Glucannon Chromium tablets for weights loss? They don't cause diabetes do they? I read that they do?
