According to LiveStrong: Chromium is used either in prescription or over-the-counter form as directed by a physician. It's common to take it in one dose or in three divided doses before meals daily. Researchers found clinical evidence that chromium picolinate reduces food intake, hunger and cravings, reports an article published in the October 2008 issue of the journal Diabetes, Technology and Therapeutics. However, the decrease in hunger pangs did not result in significant weight loss.

appetite suppressants are the holy grail for those with strong appetites.

i would tell you try some caffeine in the AM, but don't abuse it. in the end it will come down to your ability to resist cravings.. don't keep junk food in your house

You will notice much more if you go with something like the EC stack. Both caffeine and ephedrine are both strong stimulants so be careful if you go that route. No more than 200mg caffeine and 24mg ephedrine 2-3x per day. Also, no more than 6 weeks on before stopping.

Chromium will do nothing for suppressing appetite. Come on man. Use your head. It's just a mineral.

Do you feel your appetite decrease when you take a multivitamin?

[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]6. Supplement with 10g psyllium husk before bed. Psyllium husk is a soluble fibre and gels up in your stomach, leading to an increased feeling of satiety. [/FONT]
