Gum Question

[HoldItTogether]

So- I'm working on day 5--- doing very well--- I think, lol--- seeing some changes. But I have one last addiction, and that is to Orbit Citrusmint Gum. According to the packaging it has 1g of carb from sugar alcohol. Their website lists the ingredients as "sorbitol, gum base, glycerol, natural and artificial flavors, xylitol, mannitol, malic acid, aspartame, citric acid, acesulfame K, sucralose, fumaric acid, BHT (to maintain freshness), color added, Red- 40 Lake"

I see a lot of artificial sugar in it... and the dreaded aspartame- do I ditch the gum?

Oh- yay me- lol- I drank 132 oz of water yesterday!

If you're doing it by the book, then yes. It's not allowed on induction.

Re: Gum Question

yup, ditch the gum! just try and get 14 days in without it, after that try adding it in and see if it stalls you, aspartame stalls me rotten i still treat myself to a diet coke every now and again but i know it stalls me if i have it more than that.

Great stuff on the water!! I think i'm nearly catching up to you!! i'm on about 3.5 litres so far!
