Diet Hack: Chewing Gum


Last night the fiance and I were talking about his body building period. His uncle was an award winning body builder that helped fiance lose quite a bit of weight. Aside from being on a really strict diet that has turned him off to tuna forever, fiance swears by chewing gum.

It makes sense though because he was chewing winterfresh gum which imparts quite a minty taste. The taste of mint will curb the appetite because it signals the end of a meal. Mint itself will aid in digestion.

But that's not all this wonder treat does, here's a short list of additional benefits:
-Prevents tooth decay.
-Removes the bacteria that causes bad breath.
-Diverts oral fixators from talking and eating.

So if you're looking for a mindless way of reducing your calories, look to a sugar free mint gum and chew it
