They don't have the Nutrition Facts info on the box (I guess cuz it's considered a medicine and not a food?), but I found a pkg of Trident and compared the ingredients. Trident has Sorbitol, Xylitol, and Mannitol all listed within the top 5 ingredients. Nicorette has Xylitol listed as the LAST ingredient. So I'm guessing (hoping :-) there's a lot less of the sugar alcohol in the nicotine gum, which also hopefully means less carbs. I guess I'll keep chewing it and see what happens. If I don't lose weight, then I'll switch to the patch. THANK YOU!!! FOR YOUR HELP!!!
Wish me luck on the diet - I actually weighed in at 182 lbs instead of 175 so I've been gaining!! I'm really nervous about starting but this forum has really helped with all my anxiety!! Thanks again!
