It makes my stomach think food will be coming and inevitably I get hungry. I have the same reaction of grooveybabe. It makes my stomach think food will be coming and inevitably I get hungry.

It's interesting that something as simple as chewing gum would have different reactions in people. Got to figure out what works for YOU! Thanks for the comments all.

Lately I like the Dentyne Splash... the citrus/blackberry one... yum! The other day one of my students gave me trick gum that tasted like soap. Well it's not ACTUALLY trick gum, it's called Thrills and it's supposed to be rosewater flavoured, but it tasted like Mr. Clean to me. Talk about washing out a foul mouth!

Apparently the chewing action produces acid in the stomach to tell it to prepare for food, which is why my body was hungrier when chewing gum... If you managed to take a step from eating a big donought to a piece of gum, I imagine the next step (of having nothing) will be a much easier step to make. I know having these little things is very helpful to sustained weightloss so well done on knowing your body and what works. I found chewing gum made me more hungry so stopped eating it.
