Loose weight by chewing gum? Options

[marielamuneka]

what? gum a low calorie snack? since when did gum become a snack..?

this is what they said:

A 5-calorie stick of gum is less fattening than a bag of chips. And it might even help suppress the appetite.

A television ad that runs during "The Biggest Loser" sums up the new promise with a memorable tag line "Go from 'nice gut' 'to 'nice butt.' " The ad also calls Extra gum the "long-lasting 5-calorie snack to help reveal the new you."

isnt gum bad for your teeth or something? i cant think of gum as a snack..

have you guys seen the commercial to this? or heard about this?



edit; if someone can fix the topic title i spelled lose wrong.
i messed up.

Yeah, it just sounds like a shitty marketing campaign to me.

One of my friends in school bought some kind of "weight loss gum" that she's supposed to chew after every meal and it speeds up your matabolism. There's really no logic to that at all. And, even on the completely off chance that it works, as soon as she stops chewing the gum (like, when she runs out), she'll gain all the weight back because her metabolism would slow down again.

In short, any kind of weight-loss gum is pointless, in my oppinion. It won't work.
