Heard somewhere that it does, but does it actually help at all?!!?

if you eat slower and chew slower it helps you not to gain the weight.

yes, and chewing slower to give your body time to adjust to being full, and having the full feeling.
Also to slow down to taste your food with each bite.

Yes. The extra chewing and eating slower, allows your body to register as being full. So you don't overeat, and eat less. Which leads to weight loss.

yes because if you chew more, you eat slower and if you eat slower you get full faster

You have to chew small amounts of food and chew food slowly so that you digest food properly.

yeah i used to be bloated eating chickens before i learned to chew -)

No, but eating more slowly does. You feel full after eating for 20 minutes, no matter how much you eat.

Has minimal effect but yes it does help.
The enzymes in your saliva break down the food more in your mouth if you chew for longer so it passes through you digestive system remotely faster, thus it can aind weight loss... minimally though.

It makes no difference at all to the calorific value of the food you consume and therefore has no effect on weight loss. To succeed in losing weight you need to eat less and increase regular vigorous exercise levels.

I don't know, but it definitely cuts down on choking!!

no it doesnot help in weight loss but chewing food better really help our health by doing this v can improve our health and ifv eat fast with chewing it the may not b digested and v may get food poision also some time

No it doesn't help drink a glass of water before you eat then you won't eat so much....which means weight loss baby..

not sure but i kno it helps digest better

Yes my understanding is that it does - not that the chewing actually helps weight loss (unless you are munching your way through celery).
Most people rush their meals in this busy life we lead, and the body doesn't have time to register that you have actually eaten - (and you, too) so you want to eat again very quickly. Which means you are picking at food when you shouldn't be.
The reference to celery may be an old wives tale - but the theory is that you consume more calories in eating the celery than the celery actually contains!

If you chew your food well and eat slowly then you tend to eat less so it would aid weight loss

No but it does improve your metabolism and digest your food better. Plus, you benefit better as the goodness in the food is digested easier!

No, but it does help prevent you from choking to death.

your still consuming the same amount. but you should take at least 15 to 20 minutes to eat a meal. eating slow helps your body to burn food a lot better also, it keeps you from being hungry longer. trust me.
