Chewing sugarless gum burns about 11 calories an hour, adds very few calories to your day (almost a negligible amount), and keeps you from snacking (you can't eat if you're chewing gum). So keep some sugarless gum at your desk, in your car, wherever you are tempted most, and chew your way to weight loss.
