Chewing gum and weight loss?

The Univerisity of Rhode Island has found that when subjects chewed gum in the morning, their calorie intake was decreased by 68 cals per day (equivalent to 10 mins of stairmaster).

• Subjects reported feeling less hungry when compared to when they did not chew gum, particularly in males.


• Gum chewers burned 5% more energy than non gum chewers.


• Gum chewers also reported reduced weariness and less percieved effort to do things, as compared to when they did not chew gum.

So to chew or not to chew?
