Just as the saying goes, 'If you don't gain weight in March, you'll regret it in April; if you don't lose weight in May, you'll be regretting it all year!' Many people have gained a lot of weight at home these days, haven't they? Their waists have become round and bulging.

Various weight loss methods have been hotly searched again. Besides dieting and exercise, a new weight loss method has emerged: chew 33 mouthfuls method.

This method originated from Jingtilian's half-night eating bread video. She chewed a piece of bread for 33 times before swallowing it. According to this calculation, it would take her about half an hour to finish the whole bread.

If it were an ordinary person, the time it takes to eat a piece of bread would not even be swallowed, and you would have finished three pieces by then. It's no wonder people gain weight easily and lose weight hard.

Similarly, Kai Xu Kun chewed 97 times before swallowing a shrimp dumpling during a press conference!

also had to spend more than ten minutes chewing a piece of biscuit, which was hotly discussed by netizens.

So, can the 33-mouths chewing method really be used for weight loss?

Will chewing consume more energy?

Some people might say, 'Every mouthful of food is chewed 33 times before swallowing, compared to chewing 2 or 3 times, a meal will be chewed at least several thousand times. This chewing muscle consumes energy, which makes the meal seem like it's being eaten for free?'

In fact, the energy consumption of chewing is related to the texture of the food. Harder foods require more chewing force; porridge, water, and paste-like foods don't require much force even if they're chewed. Have you ever seen someone get thinner just by complaining?

Eating, vegetables, and fruits are chewed to less than 30 mouthfuls, and they have become mushy, so even if you force yourself to chew 33 mouthfuls, you won't consume much energy; moreover, because a lot of saliva is secreted during chewing, you will inevitably swallow it. Only meat, and especially hard meat, can maintain 30 mouthfuls or more.

Therefore, chewing 30 times is not because of increased energy consumption.

The truth: It's more likely to create a feeling of fullness

As early as 2003, researchers at the University of Iowa conducted an experiment with 21 volunteers. The researchers divided them into two groups. The researchers required one group to chew 15 times and the other group to chew 40 times before swallowing.

After they finished eating, they filled out a questionnaire about their sense of fullness. The result showed that the group who chewed 40 times had a stronger feeling of fullness.

This is because chewing stimulates the gastrointestinal tract to produce a lot of digestive juices, and the amylase in saliva can react with starch in the food more thoroughly, so the food is digested more finely, and glucose rises faster, so people feel more full and tend to eat less.

At the same time, slow chewing and prolonged eating time, exceeding half an hour, will make the brain think that it's enough to eat, so people will not want to eat more. Conversely, if you swallow your food quickly, it's easy to trigger the brain to eat more before it's full, which is a big no-no for weight loss.

Furthermore, if you chew a lot of times, the chewing muscles will certainly get tired, and even the temporomandibular joint may feel sore. It's no wonder people don't want to eat delicious food if they're tired.

It seems that the 33-mouths method is indeed scientifically based!

Weight loss is all about persistence!

If you really can chew 33 mouthfuls like stars, you'll definitely become slim in a flash.

However, many people tried this method and found that chewing was quite painful, and not everyone could stick to it.

There are many ways to lose weight, such as dieting, exercise, and so on. However, most people fail because all these methods involve some pain or require a lot of effort. Our ancestors survived in harsh environments by accumulating fat. As descendants, we still have this physique. It's easy to gain weight and difficult to lose weight. Eating is a natural instinct, and delicious food is generally high in fat and energy.

If you want to succeed in weight loss, you must overcome all temptations, and you must have a strong and firm determination to persevere.

So, for ordinary people, the best approach is to find a method that suits you and can be sustained for a long time. For example, if you like to play basketball or run, stick to it; if you like to do fitness, don't interrupt; if you can endure hunger, try to eat less every meal; if you like to chew, remember to chew every mouthful several times and slow down your eating speed, but don't obsess over the exact number of mouthfuls... If you have enough money, you can also use weight loss products or hire a coach to create a comprehensive plan for you…
