Working as a culinarian involves sometimes tasting more foods than it would be healthy to consume in one day (or even in a week), I've used the chew/spit method countless times (but never while IN the kitchen). Just don't replace meals with it Jamie is absolutely correct about counting calories -just adds stress and leads to weight gain.

IT'S NOT. don't start counting. just make good choices and don't worry about numbers.. once you start getting to familiar with what's "in" everything.. you may never be able to eat in a relaxed way again. you'll always "have to know." it's really sad. the tragedy is, we're all beautiful. please know it and try to love yourselves.. chewing and spitting is awful. don’t ever start doing it. i have no idea when it went from being something i did basically “just to do it” to something i HAD to do. i think it’s how i punish myself for “loving food too much.” the best defense against this, if you are struggling too, in my experience is to just eat reasonable meals and space them far enough apart that you are never ravenous. eat reasonably every 3 hours. and you know what? i’ve always been interested in nutrition, and i’ve counted calories for as long as i can remember, even before i had any problems with eating- just because i thought it was a healthy thing to do.

I can understand if you consume 1000s of calories, you will ingest, or your mouth will absorb some, but very minimal, am I wrong? Does anyone know? this is ALOT better than binging and purging, as with that I'm positive I've still got tons of food left in me, and I'm sick of doing it. But this C&S thing seems to be ok...but I am super bloated. you know what helped a little - Xenadrine Detox - 14 days, a natural laxative, and you really do loose alot, quickly. Anyway, any advice on this would be great. thanks! OK, how true is it – really – to gain weight chewing and spitting?
