This study also shows that until the middle of the day you may be able to save more than 60 calories just by chewing sugar free gum for 1 hour in the morning. According to Jackie Newgent, RD, nutritionist and author of Big Green Cookbook and The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook, when we chew gum before and after eating, calorie-burning occurs 5 percent higher than if we do not chew gum.
In addition, there are a variety of other evidence about the benefits of chewing gum. For example, the chewing gum before snacking can control our own lust snacking, reduce hunger, and reduce your calorie intake from snacks was. The Biggest Loser contestants in America was encouraged to chew gum to reduce cravings.
Although all of these studies discuss the small difference in the number of calories produced, but diet experts assert that even small changes can affect the long term. Moreover, if we can reduce 60 calories a day, your weight in a year could be down about 3 kg. Not bad, right?
Another thing that is proved by the research is that the sugar-free gum to help alleviate the source of daily stress, such as waiting for long queues at the checkout. Chewing gum also helps you concentrate and stay alert. If the meal is still a long time but you feel hungry, chewing gum also help to overcome the desire to eat.
