Default Any herbs to help with cravings?

Hi...
I'm trying to low carb but I get the worst cravings. I really don't want to just go out and buy diet pills but I would like to find something herbal that might help with cravings.
So.. is there such a thing? A herb / supplement that reduces carb cravings?
thanks
Jenn

Yes, Chromium will help with the cravings.
There is some debate on whether it should be Chromium GTF or Chromium Picolinate. Personally I went with the Chromium GTF because the Chromium Picolinate was WAY more expensive.
I started at 1 per day, but it wasn't doing anything, so I moved up to 2 a day. 1 with breakfast, and 1 with dinner.
HTH.
