A survey conducted by the Mayo Clinic revealed that chewing gum can actually raise your metabolic rate by as much as 20%. The study suggested that chewing gum may also make it possible to lose as much as an additional 11 pounds per year. Above and beyond the benefits of increasing your metabolism and burning calories; chewing gum may also have significant advantages when it comes to staving off the temptation to indulge in foods.

it takes your mind off food.. and when your chewing the gum and your tasting the flav then your belly will start to fill up with water from you spit... and it will make you feel a little full... and the acide from your spit might give you a belly ake cause so much spit is coming down and it will make you think your really full...when they acide is just hurting the insides..... but it stops you from eating i know that ... cause i chew gum when i think im hungry or at times i think i need to losse some weight...lol

Well, not really. Some say that chewing gum will help you not to eat when your bored. It takes away from eating!

I'm not sure if it helps in losing weight, but I know it always makes me hungry. My poor stomach starts wondering when the food is coming so I eat. So maybe just the opposite.
