Hi, can anyone help me. I sometimes chew gum to fight hunger. Is sugar free gum allowed ? I did notice that it has between 1 - 2 carbs. Does this count againt you? Thank you!

Re: Sugar Free Gum

if you're hungry, why are you fighting it? Eat!
Hunger is not something you should be fighting through on atkins, you should feed your body until it is satisfied, even if that means putting something in your mouth every 4 hours.

Also, there is a definite downside to gum. It activates the gastric juices and, in turn, you may feel hungry. You are far better off to carry a water bottle with you. You can drink a lot of water before you float away!!!
