Sugarfree Gum

[Enchantedraisin]

How are your experiences with chewing a couple sticks of sugarfree gum? On Induction? On higher rungs?

I take only half a piece at a time... and chew no more than 2-3 a day for a couple days. The gum (like Orbit) has only 1 carb per entire piece. That carb is a single sugar alcohol. I figured since there is only one single sugar alcohol it wouldn't hurt.

Just wondering what you all think.

You can do it. But I've never come across a sugar-free gum or mint that doesn't not contain aspartame in addition to a sugar alcohol.

The only other thing I can say about chewing gum is that it's prohibited on the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet. According to the authors of that low carb diet, the mere act of chewing will stimulate your body to release insulin.

Hmm... maybe I should stop chewing it for a while...
