Hoping L-glut works

[GratefulEm]

I read the posts on here about L-glut and thought that maybe this would be something I could hang on to. I took 2 1000mg. capsules today. WOW, my brain felt better. Lifted me out of the wine hangover and clarified my thinking. But damned if 5:00 came round and I was again into the bottle of red. Drank a liter. I so want this to work. Does it take time to build up in the body? I just want to get past the craving stage. Or is it more a case of willpowering past it and sitting on your hands?

It's more willpower than anything but I LOVE L-Glutamine!

You might want to take it several times a day to keep it in your system. Try it with a little fruit and no protein. If I remember correctly it helps your body absorb it. When 5 PM rolls around take a little more. You can even open the capsule and dump it under your tongue.

Make a mocktail and put powered l-glut in it at 5pm! I love virgin bloody marys.. But it does take willpower too

Just weighing in on l-glut dosages - you guys seem to be taking way less than i am.

I started last Friday, taking 6000mg in the morning, and another 6000mg early evening, for a total of 12000mg per day...

I take 5000 mg morning and night Tip (1tsp of the powder). Thats what works for me.

I don't notice anything regarding cravings with L-Glut, although I take it at a fairly high dose: 6 grams in powdered form, dissolved in water, every morning on an empty stomach -- which I heard is the best way to take it. I had never thought to take it at night, though.

Also, I heard you can take quite high doses safely and without any side effects. I believe you can take up to about 15g per day, but this might depend on your weight. I am a real lightweight, so I have been careful, but I am considering upping my dose to 12g per day (6 in morn, 6 in eve).

Another thing about L-Glut: it is supposed to be very good for you in other ways than cravings-- something to do with your digestive tracts. So I feel confident in taking it even though I don't feel any effect on cravings.

Grateful, maybe you do need a bit more. In addition to the regular daily dosages (experiment and find what works for you) I keep some in my wallet so it's always available when I'm out somewhere and a craving strikes. I think it's saved me a few times. Let us know how it goes, OK?

I don't know what happened....well I do..I lied to my guy, flat out ..nope not me un hu..lied.
Then read morality is doing what you think is right even if you won't get caught.
That + tired of being tired, ashamed, sneaky, etc....
I am not trying af..but to truly go moderate....we close the bottle after a glass, have the other half next day.
felt so much better..."I can do this"...but find every little thing is a trigger. Writing this is a trigger.
took a sip of what was left...had to hide the bottle from myself and go out with the dog...cannot walk into convenience store.

Not being easy...want to go overboard everyday. I just can't live with myself like that any longer.
I have a bag full of supplements, but I really think it is the pavlov dog bit with me and wine.

I need a boost sometimes. I would like to come in and talk to someone instead...with my coffee beside me instead of a glass of wine.

Bye folks, thanks for being around

I know she can heal me if I only pay attention.
