Chewing to Lose Weight

Chewing gum to lose weight? Does that really work ... and how? It's simple. A study found chewing gum can actually help you stay away from sweets! It can also curb those hunger pains you tend to get a couple hours after a meal. Researchers followed a group of men and women. They found when the participants chewed gum they ate 36 fewer calories from their snack choices. Doesn't sound like much? That adds up to 252 calories a week! The study also found the afternoon hunger level among study participants was significantly lower when they chewed gum. Remember, sugarless gum is best. Not only does it have fewer calories, it's better for your teeth!
