Chromium picolinate

[Kelliebelly 13]

Hi Guys

I posted the other day about my chocolate addiction, It has been roughly 2 weeks since I have had chocolate. It hasnt been hard at all since I started the chromium as suggested by my pharmacist.

Now the whole point to my post is I have discovered something else with this supplement. I have no appetite. I havent lost weight in a long time and I know alot of it has to do with my very bad eating plans, but I have that under control now. I cleaned the house out and replaced all my junk with fruit and healthy Snacks. I have never had the "oh its 3 pm and I have forgotton to eat" type feeling that some people have with the band...I can eat 1 - 2 cups full of food with a snack in between 3 times a day. About day 3 of starting the chromium I was literally forgetting to eat, which I know in itself is bad but I was thinking post op for people who dont have good restriction maybe this would be beneficial until they do??

I am taking it because it takes away sugar cravings which it has but with the added bonus of helping me stick to smaller amounts of food it seems really good.

I just thought I would share, maybe someone else out there is struggling too and this may be of some help.

Hugs

Hi Kelliebelly,

you are lucky that the chromium works for you. It didnt work for me or my mother and sister.

I asked about it my doc and he told me that we all have enough of chromium that this excess chormium just gets out of the body without any use.Basically he said it doesnt work.

Its awesome thatit works for you!!!

Great job Kelliebelly:thumbup:

I also had the junk food habit a long time ago but discovered that fruits and vegetables helped me break that bad habit.

Keep up the great ways of losing the weight.:wink:

My doc just put me on Chromium because I have diabetes. My blood sugar isn’t crazy high but still over 100 after 8-10hr fasting. I have looked up Chromium and it is sold as a weight loss supplement. However it is not clinically proven because the data has been produced by questionable sources or the sample data was really small. My doc said that Chromium helps your body use insulin better and will help regulate my blood sugar. If you have diabetes like me ask your doctor about Chromium and let me know what he thinks. I am interested to hear what other doc’s say.
