I am on 1500mg of met, I too had terrible sugar cravings when I strated but
I now have non though that is due to the Low Carb diet I am on, I have had
no cravings since about the 3 day of been on the induction, I have now done
3 weeks of the induction and have lost +-18lb's.
Try the diet it might help with the cravings
