hey i have a question.. say i eat 1400 calories per day, but 800 of those are from chewing gum...(yes, 2 8 packs per day usually i chew it like candy then pop another in, bad i know) but... will that keep me from losing weight? since i've started to do that i've still stayed the same weight and its not helping me lose anymore after the first 5 lbs i lost by just cutting cals. hm...help! Does chewing gum calories even keep you from losing?!?

I kwo i should maybe switch to sugar free gum firs tand then it would force me to cut down cuz my stomach would hurt and yes! bad but it will work i bet.. yes i drink a ton of diet pop which is bad.. but how does that stop you from losing weight?
Reply from Marina, Age 17 - 10/14/04 - IP#: 24.215.12.xxx hey! gum is alright, but it sounds like you have a bit too much of the wrong kind! If you're going to chew gum I'd chew something like Dentyne fire (for example) if you were to chew 2 packages of it a day (that 12 pieces per package) you'd only be consuming 72 calories, 24 carbs and 0 grams of fat. & it's sugarless too so it won't rot your teeth! If I were you I'd consider the switch. If not, really try to cut back on the gum! I think you said something about drinking pop. If that's the case, take it out of your diet right now! It's standing in your way of weight loss. Even diet pop!!

Reply from Catherine, Age 15 - 10/14/04 - IP#: 24.19.141.xxx Wow that is alot of gum. I chew gum alot, but not that much. If I chew gum too much, I get a headache, do you? Also make sure it is sugarfree because sugar gum can cause like really bad cavities, and isnt good for you.
