can chewing gum slow down your appetite?

I don't think so. it don't for me anyway.

how can you slow down your appetite?

when i'm depressed i don't have one. I hardly eat at all on my bad days but on my good days i make up for it. lol i eat all day just about. my mom knows when i have a low day. i don't make trips down stares to the kichen.

is there any other ways besides being depressed

i don't know. i wasn't never really one to eat much untill this summer. i been told it's cuz i'm in a growth spurt or something like that.
why don't you want a appitite (?SP)

i want a appetite but i just want to slow it down?

oh. sorry i don't know what to tell you.

I've read somewhere that chewing gum right after you finish eating will keep your metabolism active for longer because your body thinks your stull eating, I might be wrong tho.

Chewing gum is not going to do anything to your metabolism.

if you chew gum it makes your body feel as thought its eating and it holds of hunger for a while

Sometimes, but it's not going to do anything to your metabolism. Hunger/appetite and metabolism are two different things.

yeah i know that..i was just saying it stops hunger for a while.....

so does drinking water

dunno...at the weight watchers i go to they said to chew gum when your hungry..but i aint got a clue about water thought it does make you feel kinda full like if you drink gallons of it lol and it makes u wee alot too ha

Yeah, someone once told me that something like 70% of the your hungry, your actually just thirsty

well i think it sort of fulfils an oral fixation-- keeping your mouth busy so it doesn't want food crammed in there.

yeah it does i agree wiv sexpert on this. rememeber thought you should replace meals with gum..replace snacks(junk food) with gum instead

i agree wiv myself too
