I've struggled with sugar cravings all my life, too. I have no problem controlling how much I eat of anything else, but sugar was always more of a drug to my body.
I take Parnate, now, and my cravings have definitely gotten better on this drug. I find that alcohol makes the cravings much worse, so that's something to watch out for definitely.
I've heard fish oil can help, too. I was taking that reguarly and am unsure if it helped or not. I hadn't heard of the chronium connection- that's interesting.
In my opinion, there's a definite physical component to the sugar addiction thing that goes beyond just liking how it tastes. I have atyical depression and before Parnate, sugar would comfort me like nothing else would. It's tough! Good luck to you!
