Appetite Suppressant Chewing Gum
Appetite Suppressant
Gum
Originally developed in
the late 90's, appetite suppressant diet chewing gum is usually sugar
free and contains a chromium compound, which according to certain research
is an effective aid for weight loss and regulates fat deposition. This
claim remains unproven.
On the contrary:
- Appetite suppressant diet gum includes
artificial sweeteners which may slow down the digestive process and
increase appetite. Such sweeteners may also increase our sweet
tooth.
- Chewing stimulates the pancreas to make
digestive enzymes and can increase feelings of hunger which might
lead us to eat more than we need.
Verdict
Whether or not chromium is linked to weight loss, appetite suppressant
gum is not the answer to your weight problem. Successful weight loss requires
long term diet modification, not chewing gum. Besides, appetite is a natural
bodily function. It should be properly satisfied not suppressed by chewing
gum.
A Note about Healthy Weight Control
Fad diets, unbalanced diets, diet pills, diet supplements, weight loss
surgery and other short term weight loss methods are not recommended for
permanent weight control. The best way to lose excess fat and maintain
a healthy weight in the long term is to follow a balanced calorie-controlled
diet (that improves your eating habits) and take regular aerobic exercise.
