    I have been taking Chromium supplements, started with 500mCg twice a day for a month and increased to 100mCg twice a day. It's been 2 months and there is a noticeable difference in appetite. I am not craving or thinking about food constantly like I was before. I can actually get full with an appropriate sized meal. It doesn't seem to matter if I take it with a meal or not, hasn't caused any stomach upset. I am starting Metformin today and will see how it goes. The Chromium might be something to ask your Doctor about and research on to see if it's right for you.

    I have also been on an ~1800 calorie/day, lower carbs than I had been eating, and doing at least 20 minutes of exercise 5x a week. I've only lost 10 lbs but am down 23 inches!

    That's awesome! Yeah I may begin chromium

    Are you taking the extended release pills? They're much easier on the stomach!

    It was the 500mg of the regular pill. It wasn't the stomach issues. It made me a mental case. I had a lot of the uncommon side effects that are listed. :(
