Any kind of peppermint-flavored gum or candy stops appetite in its tracks, IMO.

Absolutely bro. I'm addicted to gum right now. Curious about the nicotine thing though seeing as I don't drink when dieting (or smoke).

its a secret weapon...
one of the best fat burners out there (close to ECA)

I chew it in between dips sometime.
(Who am I kidding, there's no in between.)

I have recommended it for the past 20 years. Say last 3 weeks before comp, just add it to the clen and eph stack :D Start with maybe 1mg 3 times daily. It's thermogenic and lipolytic too.

Stay safe

i seem to recall galeniko didn't recommend gum
i went through packs of the stuff when i was real lean. one time i was in a really awful mood (which was pretty much par for the course in those days) as i walked to the gym. as soon as i spit out the gum i had been chewing, my anxiety went away and my mood vastly improved. could have been a coincidence, but i pretty much gave up gum at that moment.

Effect of chewing gum containing nicotine and caffeine on energy expenditure and substrate utilization in men.

BACKGROUND: Nicotine replacement therapy limits weight gain after smoking cessation. This finding is partly attributable to the thermogenic effect of nicotine, which may be enhanced by caffeine. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the acute thermogenic effects of chewing gum containing different doses of nicotine and caffeine. DESIGN: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study included 12 healthy, normal-weight men (aged 18-45 y). Energy expenditure was measured with indirect calorimetry before and 2.5 h after subjects chewed each of 7 different types of gum containing the following doses of nicotine/caffeine: 0/0, 1/0, 2/0, 1/50, 2/50, 1/100, and 2/100 mg/mg. RESULTS: The thermogenic responses (increases over the response to placebo) were 3.7%, 4.9%, 7.9%, 6.3%, 8.5%, and 9.8%, respectively, for the gums containing 1/0, 2/0, 1/50, 2/50, 1/100, and 2/100 mg nicotine/mg caffeine (P < 0.05 for all). Adding caffeine to 1 and 2 mg nicotine significantly enhanced the thermogenic response, but changing the caffeine dose (from 50 to 100 mg) did not change the thermogenic effect. None of the combinations changed the respiratory quotient compared with placebo, which indicates that glucose and fat oxidation rates were increased to a similar extent. Side effects occurred only with 2 mg nicotine. CONCLUSIONS: One milligram of nicotine has a pronounced thermogenic effect, which can be increased by approximately 100% by adding 100 mg caffeine. Increasing the nicotine dose to 2 mg does not increase the thermogenic effect but produces side effects in most subjects. Caffeine may be useful in preventing weight gain after smoking cessation if its thermogenic effect can be used to enhance nicotine's effect on long-term energy balance.

good stuff bros.
Ive been experimenting with it a bit over the weekend (yeah I'm a real party animal.) One piece of 2mg has my feeling good, 2 pieces gives me a solid 3-beer buzz type feeling. Its awesome. Ive enjoyed popping them in on the drive home from the gym when I'm famished but know i can't eat for another hour. Didn't even know about the thermogenic effect, thats just an added bonus now. Ill prob keep it to 2-3X a week until I'm done with this prepping bullshit.

oh and dont chew the shit. its a waste. your supposed to chew it for a few seconds and then put it in your cheek or under your tongue for a couple mins, then repeat.
dont chew and swallow, very low bioavailability this way

well, nicotine partially gets destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract
it is only absorbed through mucous membrane
