Every January I start a diet determined to succeed, but sugar cravings always derail me after a week or two. Is there a supplement that can keep me on track?
Yes! I suggest supplementing with glutamine. The body converts this amino acid into glutamic acid, a healthy source of glucose that instantly reduces the brain’s dependence on sugar for fuel, and thus blunts cravings for sweets. Another boon: Glutamine balances insulin levels, so blood sugar remains stable. As a result, many women who take this supplement experience increased energy and fewer mood swings. For best results, take 500 mg of L-glutamine twice daily between meals.
