any supplements to decrease sugar cravings?

[jg42058p]

Hi.

I need a supplement to help me decrease my sugar cravings.

For some reason, every night, I always wake up about half way through my sleep cycle, craving sugar like crazy.

I dont know what is causing this.


I've tried taking chromium picholionate but it only helps a little. Hoodia only helps a little.

Is there anything else I can take that help me get these cravings under control?

Yes I know self discilpline is a major factor but this is driving me nuts.

Its making it very hard for me to lose body fat.

I haven't slept a night without sugar cravings in atleast 5 years.
Is this a sign/symptom of something bad?

Please help.

Its so funny.

When I'm dieting I crave carbs and have sugar cravings of things I don't normal want during the offseason, candy, cake, donuts etc.

Then offseason roles around I'm happy as can be and don't want any of that

Why can't it be the opposite.

I think you got some good suggestions however. Make sugar free snacks for your cravings, look at different recipes online, sometimes a flavored BCAA drink helped me, or a diet drink.

But I think you covered the primary factor, self discipline. Dieting and staying on a diet is 100% mental

yeah.... the cravings are comparable to narcotic cravings, which I regretfully and unfortunately experienced years ago..

Maybe I should see an endrocrinologist about this

A few years ago a friend told me that Cyto-lean did the job. Look it up. Don't even know if its still around.

Have you tried Sweet&Low or Splenda? Maybe just pour a packet or 2 in your mouth. I know it sounds lame but it's worth a shot right? Or some sugar-free gum. Or just grab a piece of normal hard candy like a jawbreaker or peppermint and suck on it. I know it would have sugar but it would last for a while thereby keeping your sugar intake low. Other than that, just don't eat sugar! If you kicked narcotics (I unfortunately feel your pain on that one...), you can do anything!

shit is garbage. Use stevia instead.
