Unsweet Advice: Amino acid l-glutamine?

July 25, 2008 Comments (0)

Have you ever used the amino acid l-glutamine to try and curb your sweet tooth? If so, was it effective?

I have never used I-glutamine to curb my sweet tooth. In fact, although we reviewed Sugarest, I never tried it myself. I’m a bit scared of things like that because it is my belief that we stop being sweet by creating a change in our behavior—not as the result of taking a pill or eating another product. I have found that using products or supplements to control sugar intake doesn’t work in the long run, but it might be helpful for some people in the short-term.

My feeling is that it doesn’t work when we give the “power” to something outside of ourselves. People don’t need a health club to be healthy. We don’t need a (no)sugar pill to be sugar free. The sustainable answer to quitting sugar is using our willpower and making the choice to eat right.
That said, has anyone out there used I-glutamine to try and curb their sweet tooth? If so, please tell us about your experience.

About Me

I realized I had a sugar problem back in 2003 after a weekend-long binge on raw chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate covered pretzels. As a result, I began trying to quit sugar but kept failing. Finally, I figured out a way to stay off sweet junk food for good.
