    Sugar-free gum

    Gum has been a key asset to me losing weight by killing an appetite after having a clean, healthy meal. I usually chew two packs (17 pieces each pack) a day. My body fat % is down to around 10%. To get down into the single digits, would cutting all the gum (extra carbs and sugar alcohol) get me to where I need to be? And what does chewing a pack of gum in 30 minutes or so do to ones insulin levels, and does it have an adverse effect on burning fat?

    It is a very minimal factor compared to the rest of your caloric intake. Don't worry about it. The help it offers you would probably help you more than stopping it and feeling hungry at all the time.

    yeah, horrible habit from childhood, but to look on the bright side, i am chewing sugar free. Used to chew a whole pack of big red in 20 minutes...not a very good after-taste! I'll try and cut back.

    Chewing gum has nothing to do in assisting losing weight. And you can't spot reduce fat.

    There has been some posts before about sugar free products still causing an insulin response as the body expects sugar.

    I have never noticed any concern though.

    I chew a whole pack of Trident everyday. I have been trying to cut back on a little. Trident has XYLITOL in it though, which I've only heard good things about. I'm around 10 pecent body fat, as well, and I am comfortable with it. I have fairly visible abs, and look cut up.

    I am cutting back. I am cut, but my main concern is July 18th, 2008 when The Dark Knight hits theatres! Does Christian Bale take something to get as cut as he has been or do you believe it's his diet/vigorous exercise routine?

    Do you have a jaw like Dick Tracey yet?

    Probably burning more calories from the chewing than the 2 cals in each stick...
