This is the secret to surviving the urge to put something in your mouth. GUM! It seems like I may have a problem here but, whenever I crave something sweet or I am just bored, I chew gym. In fact as I sit here right now I am chewing.
I was a runner prior to all this bodybuilding training. I always had to have a piece of gum in my mouth whenever I ran. It helped me for some reason, I didn't need to drink water so I could run without carrying a bottle. I still chew gum at the gym now -in fact- if I forget my gum, I will go back out to the car to get it - lol - #obsessed!
I have really found that it helps with cravings. If I need that sweet fix, bang - sweet gum it is and there are ALOT of gums out there. I only buy sugar-free gum and I have found that I like the Extra Fruit Sensations ones the best - sweet watermelon - taking first place. It seems to hold the flavour longer and doesn't get all hard to chew like some of them - I need a gum that can handle at least my lift session before I throw it out. Hope this helps anyone who is looking for something to take a bit of the edge off. I have a few more tricks but I'll save those for another day :)
