Does chewing food and spitting it out cause weight gain?

I heard some girls talking about chewing food and then spitting it out to avoid calories. Can chewing food and spitting it out cause weight gain, or does it actually help control weight?

This habit actually messes up your body's digestion and metabolism quite a bit, which can indirectly lead to weight fluctuations. When you chew, your stomach releases acids expecting food, and when nothing comes, it can cause severe acidity and issues. Please be gentle with yourself and consult a professional about this.

I used to do extreme things with my diet years ago and ignored the signs of eating disorders, which really ruined my health and metabolism in the long run. Please do not continue this habit. It is very important to consult a doctor or a therapist early before it causes serious digestive harm.

Honestly, this is a really unhealthy cycle to get into. While you might not absorb all the calories, chewing and spitting still lets some sugars get absorbed in your mouth, and it completely ruins your relationship with food. It is better to just eat smaller, balanced meals.

I completely understand the pressure to lose weight, but chewing and spitting is actually a sign of disordered eating and can mess with your hunger hormones, making you overeat later. It is much better to eat real, nourishing food in moderation so your body feels safe.

Bro, doing this is really bad for your stomach and teeth because the acid in your mouth gets active for no reason. It might not directly cause weight gain immediately, but it completely messes up your metabolism. Just eat normal food and work out instead.
