Baton Rouge, La.—Chromium picolinate may reduce food intake, hunger and fat cravings, according to a new study published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics.
Study researchers wrote, “[Study]participants receiving CrPic reported decreased cravings for carbohydrates, fast foods, high-fat foods, and sweets over time. A similar pattern of results was found for participants given placebo treatment. However, participants receiving CrPic decreased their cravings for high fat foods to a greater extent than participants receiving placebo.”
