Chewing gum

[Dobs]

Anyone know if chewing gum is allowed please?

 

[kenshin112]

no, as it will kick you out of ketosis due to the citric acid

 

[Blue Butterfly]

Nope its not, shame though coz ketosis breath is vile!

Listerine strips are allowed however if your on the go and need a freshen up! I couldn't really find them anywhere so bought a few packs from eBay. These Are the ones you want

Failing that, carrying round a travel size bottle of alcohol free mouthwash is a possibility x

I'm glad you asked, I was wondering the same. I use Gold Spot breath freshener on the move as it doesn't have citric acid.

I chew gum all the time and did all the times I was on CD. I was told it was ok but would hate for you to have it and be kicked out of Ketosis. I have the green wrigleys sugar free stuff and its never done me any harm.

it might make u hungry tho as im sure as ur chewing ur stomach expects some food??

 

[Mia]

Yes, I think that's the reason it isn't recommended to be honest. It doesn't make me feel hungry though so I am ok with it.

Thank you all

Yeah when i was on CD i was told the reason you shouldnt have it is cos it makes you hungry....and more likely to cheat if your constantly starving. I sometimes have it tho and im still in ketosis, and its notmakin me more hungry. But...everyone reacts different to different things, so dont take my word as gospel haha xx
