Taking one pill a day immeditely upon getting up in the morning, was recommended to me by a friend who had lost 35 pounds. He said that it cut his hunger all day, and elimated his sugar cravings. Okay.... I was COMPLETELY skeptical but thought, it's cheap.... I'll try it. Well, it works. Not sure how it does and at this point I don't care. (He said that someone did a study that determined that overwieght people have a Chromium deficiency.)Whatever.... Immediately upon getting out of bed, take one of these with a glass of water and a small snack. It works like magic. Combine this with a sensible diet and some exercise and you will be amazed. Hard to believe that something so simple can really work.
