As strange as it may sound, chewing gum is a product that should be treated with extreme caution.
This is especially true for those people who, in an effort to acquire a beautiful and fit figure, adhere to a certain diet.
Why You Shouldn't Chew Gum When on a Diet
Let's note right away: since chewing gum does not contain carbohydrates, it has practically no calories.
Thanks to sugar substitutes, the caloric content of one pillow is on average 2-7 kcal.
So why shouldn't you get carried away with chewing gum while on a diet?
Firstly, such actions of yours can provoke hunger – and there is no guarantee that you will not break down.
Secondly, chewing gum makes us want foods that contain sugar.
And thirdly: sometimes chewing gum leads to an exacerbation of gastritis, and in people suffering from high acidity, it can become a trigger for the development of an ulcer.
