Chewing gum makes me hungry, so it might be to get in more calories.

Makes me less hungry for a cut. Reduces how much water I drink though..

[Jrdath]

Maybe its just a habit its kind of like people in baseball who dip (or people who dip in general). I chew gum all the time, once the flavors gone I pop another one in.

[Mavj96]

It calms down hunger as far as I can tell so it'd be great for cutting, plus it's another way to relieve stress.

I always chew gum, can't go a day without it. But it works your jaw muscles

[MILFHunter947]

maybe because they like chewing gum? i highly doubt they do it for the sake of their diet or program, its too insignificant of a thing to really care about

[illriginalized]

lol I do for jaw muscles... but I chew 3 pieces of Trident gum at a time. But also because I used gum to kick off the cigarette habit I had about 4 years ago.

[MikeSeven]

It helps me concentrate more when working out, kinda weird.

I'm studying Biology and Psychology, and have recently studied the effects of chewing gum. Firstly when you chew gum it makes your body think your about to eat, so your brain tells your pancreas to release insulin. The insulin soaks up stray glucose and sugars in the blood and makes them ready to be used for energy by the muscles! One area of the brain that is chock full of insulin receptors is the hippocampus, which is crucial to memory function. Ultimately creating a metabolic reaction that benefits the body when training in the gym etc. Secondly, the chewing action promotes raised concentration level as the heart pumps faster to supplement the constant chewing motion, and more oxygen is pumped to the brain.
Hope this helps you guys!

So they don't break their teeth while putting on few hundreds.

[shanny66]

Tastes good?

[tricepwarrior]

also Ronnie chews gum all the time even when not training?

Why does there have to be a logical answer to everything? maybe they just chew it because they like to fukcing chew it.

I read somewhere that chewing gum fools your body into thinking you're eating so this makes sense.

[BandApart]

a lot of people chew gum...you just named two bodybuilders who happen to as well..

maybe you could speculate as to why some individual chews gum..but that's retarded, so you rarely do so. you just accept that this person, for some reason, finds chewing gum to be an enjoyable activity.

[AlvaroAJ]

Guns provide us almost no carbs, noob!

Be sure to switch sides you chew with to avoid muscle imbalances.
