Chewing gum

Does chewing gum help lose weight and skipping

Answer #1

I was going to say gum has nothing to do with losing weight but then I searched it and found this article which completely changed my mind:

“There are so many companies out there wanting to sell you their product, promising that it will help you lose weight. The truth of the matter is, that for some people gum DOES help them lose weight. It reminds them that they are not supposed to be eating right now or it satisfies their craving for sweetness. For others, it has no effect.

The connection between weight loss and gum has more to do with the commitment level of the person chewing the gum. The same is true for people who have had success with diet pills, exercise videos or gadgets. Deciding to live a healthy life and to take care of yourself before anyone else is all you need to do. And that’s free.”
