    Can't find anything on the S&S website but I think you can have sugar free gum but maybe only chew it until the flavour has gone! Failing that sugar free breath freshening sprays are handy to keep around!

    There used to be these strips they sold at the chemist which were allowed but they don't have them anymore!! They dissolved on your tongue. Just have one and that should be fine x

    Just found this on the S&S site

    A mild ketosis may develop when on any very low calorie diet and this may affect your breath slightly. Simply brush your teeth more often, and use mouth wash, sugar-free chewing gum or breath fresheners.

    Hope that helps x

    Technically speaking you shouldn't (at least on other VLCD's) as chewing may stimulate acid developing in your stomach in anticipation of food which will never come. This may result in hunger pangs.

    Other than that - a few pieces won't hurt. Personally, while I don't have a hunger issue arising from chewing of gum - too many gave me constipation and water retention! So be wary and don't exceed I'd say 4-6 (max!) per day.

    I have gum often! You're just chewing it, not eating it so it's fine lol

    Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
    Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off of the goal.
    We would accomplish more things if we did not think of them as impossible.

    Lost just under 3 stone on various diets in 2011-2012.

    Have to warn you all... Chewing gum, encourages thw stomach to produce acid in anticipation of food... On an 'empty' stomach it can lead to stomach ulcers as the acid erodes the stomach lining x












    Bridesmaid diet... and Florida holiday the next day (here we go again)

    I have a chewing gum phobia! Can you have those sugar free mints like Wrigleys extra mints?
