I have been a non-smoker since Jan 2006, HOWEVER, I am addicted to nicotine gum! (wow! this is the first time I've admitted this...even to myself)

I need to get off this stuff, I really don't get the nicotine rush from it because I can and do chew SF gum alot too. I think it is something to put in my mouth! And it's become my new 'habit', if that makes sense.

Anyway, the box states it has sorbitol (the second to last ingredient...so I don't know how much is in there). I'm wondering if anyone has been able to confirm a "stall" in weight loss due to the sorbitol in this gum?? Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol, correct?

I'm having a hard time losing weight this time around w/ Atkins. I did Atkins a few years ago and lost 10 pounds. Of course, I gained the 10 pds back from quitting smoking! Ironically, I tell myself I chew the gum to keep the weight off (so I don't eat) but I think this gum is what is keeping the wieght on!! Anyone else have this problem, or heard of such a thing??
