it doesnt necesarily stop cravings but if you put a piece of gum in your mouth then you will be thinking about its flavor and then what you can do then is go do some homework or work out something that will keep you busy so when/if the craving comes back you arent as tempted to go eat that..

i love gum i chew like a pack a day. I know from my veiws that when i chew gum when im hungry it helps me get over my cravings or helps me get my mind off of food. good luck. but you have to take into account that gum has anywhere from 5-30 cals in it good luck

No, because when you chew something, your digestive system starts to work. So if you have nothing in your stomach to digest your cravings go way up and you get more hungry then what you should have been.
Eating a small snack, a slice of bread or a Granola bar really helps
