Herbal supments Chromum Picolinate &
Hi I just recently started eating low carbs & high protein. I have a few questions. I have a supplement call sugar block it has Gymnema Sylvestre listed as as the main ingredient. I was wondering if it was worth taking it seems to take away my sugar craving.
And what about Chromium Picolinate I heard that it is suppose to take away sugar cravings also plus it's suppose to turn fat into muscle. And should I be taking an amino acid supplement also to build muscle. I want to lose weight not gain. I want to get down to a size 5 , right now I wear a size 7 . Thanks Josie |
Josie, Gymnema Sylvestre is a supplement I'm not overly familary with - however Supplementwatch.com has a review of it :

Chrominum is one of the supplements Dr. Atkins recommends to help deal with sugar cravings. It is supposed to help lower blood sugar levels, increase insulin sensitivity and help control appetite. It will not turn fat into muscle however - nothing short of magic can do that :) The only way to increase lean body mass and lose body fat is to lift weights - weights heavy enough to stimulate muscle growth. You'll find copious quantities of information on this subject in the Exercise Forums. HTH Nat |

Thanks, I guess I should keep taking them. I can't find much info on Gymnema Slyvestre. It seems to be new here but it is helping, because I could live off chocolate, I know it is what put the pounds on me. Well that & pasta.
