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.
