Tic tacs

[Bigtim27]

Just wondering if tic tacs are ok to have? It says they hae zero carbs and I need something for the stinky ketosis breath.

I'd check the ingrediants for sugar. I haven't had any tic-tacs since I started but I do chew sf gum like it's goig out style.
The first few weeks I actually chewed on mint but that didn't last long. Kept getting green bits stuck in my teeth and that just wasn't cute. lol.

YOUR SO FUNNY!!! its made by WRIGLEYS (EXTRA) i just pulled my pack out of my purse... its called POLAR ICE... Oooooooooooo M G! this gum is really GOOD! but i just read the Nutritional Info and it says........ (drum roll)........ Total Carbohydrate 2g = 1%..... Sugar Alcohol 2g..... 0 Sodium and 0 Protein... IS THIS BAD??? i love this gum damn it! would be so mad if i had to stop chewing it! i mean i only chew 'maybe' 1 stick a day, because i work as a Customer Service Rep (i cant just chew gum like i want to)so i just bite 1/3 of the stick off and chew that till i get tired of it (but its still full of flavor) then i throw it out and take a fresh 1/3 of a stick... IS THIS BAD FOR ME???

somewhat unrelated did you all see the news story where they said sugar free gum was good for you? Its supposed to be really good for your teeth because it takes all the bad bacteria away and protects your teeth. They recommended chewing it after meals and for at least 20-30 min. I am going by memory so might be a little off on times but this was on the news a couple nights ago.

You're right about the sf gum - if it has xylitol (sp?) in it.

i just went to the website WRIGLEY dot com... and they said it is made with : Sorbitol, gum base, glycerol, mannitol, natural and artificial flavors, softeners, maltitol, aspartame, acesulfame K, Red 40 Lake, BHT (to maintain freshness) sucralose.................... now thats 6 different Sweeteners! and they are in EVERY flavor of this Gum... am i crazy? or is this EXTRA Sugar Free Gum something that i should stay away from? i mean i love it an all, but could it be hurting my weightloss???

One reason that gum isn't recommended is that it causes our brains to tell our gastro track that food is on its way and to get ready churning the acids. Okay ... so not horribly scientific as far as explanations ... but suffice to say, this actually causes additional hunger. I brushed lots ... 4 or 5 times a day. Additionally, I drink a lot of water ... water helps ... and I bought little lemon candies sweetened with Splenda if my mouth is feeling particularly in need.
