Sugarless gum....
| Tue, 12-02-2003 - 10:41am |
Hi, my name is Melissa and my husband and I are trying this diet together, it will be good for my high blood pressure and great for him to loose some weight.
We just started yesterday and I have been reading anything and everything I can get my hands on. Can you chew sugarless gum in Phase 1, gum like Extra? I have looked every where and have not seen anything on gum.
TIA

Hi,
Just check the sugars and carbs.

Yes, sugarfree gum is OK in Phase 1...totally saved me those first few days! The limit on that is 75 calories per day (which is total for all sweet treats), and I believe one stick of Extra is 15 calories. That's what I always chew too, I have a piece whenever I have a craving for something I really can't have!
