You burn calories which convert to energy for three main bodily functions:

1) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) This is the amount of calories you burn each just by living – even when you are asleep or doing nothing. BMR takes 60% of the calories burned for most of us.

2) Calories burned during for Activity This is the energy used during movement – from doing the shopping to going to the loo. This ais approximately 30% of the calories burned.

3) Dietary Thermogenesis. Big words but the thermogenic effect is best described as meal-induced heat production – the calories burned in the process of eating, digesting, absorbing and using food.

11 More Calories Burned Per Hour

A study conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota shows a direct correlation to chewing gum and weight loss. Does chewing a piece of gum actually make a difference as far as losing weight?

Yes it does!

It depends on how often you chew gum.

If you chew gum often, then yes, it will make a difference for weight loss. The researchers found that chewing gum increases your metabolism by 20%. The study showed that the average gum chewer burns off 11 more calories for each hour of chewing gum as opposed to people who don't chew gum.

Over a year, that adds up to thousands of calories burned during chewing as well as 10 pounds or more weight loss.
