Default L-Glutamine

I've recently read about a supplement called L-Glutamine that helps fight carbohydrate cravings. I've been doing Atkins for a few months, and completely lost my cravings for carbs, but I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, and have noticed that since the time change, I'm REALLY CRAVING CARBS-especially sugar. So far, I've been able to avoid eating them, and have also been avoiding sugar alcohols, because that seems to lead to wanting MORE sweets (the real thing). This is a classic symptom of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which essentially is having your body go into hybernation mode, and loading up on sweets adds to fat storage, which the "old brain" really strives for with this syndrome. Has anyone here tried L-Glutamine? I really want to stick to this WOE, especially now, since I tend to get sluggish, exercise less, and gain weight over the winter. It sounds great (L-Glutamine). Anyone have any experiences with it?
