I just started TOM this morning, and I know now that's why I've been fighting such massive sugar cravings this weekend. (fighting them, and a few times losing the fight)

I've been seeing more references lately to L-Glutamine, and that it supposedly helps with sugar cravings. Does anyone have any experience with that? I'm thinking of buying a HUGE bottle of it! I used to take Chromium occasionally and it seemed to help too.

I'm also cutting out all artificial sweeteners from my diet. I've been relying on those way too much and I think they are making me crave more. But what about Stevia? I have a bottle of liquid Stevia that I use in tea now and then, and it can't really be classified as an "artificial" sweetener, since it's natural. Do you think that using Stevia would cause cravings??

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
