Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is directed to methods for managing body weight by substituting a chewing gum composition on a regular basis for a snack product having a greater caloric content than the chewing gum composition or by employing a chewing gum composition in conjunction with behavior modification. Additionally, the present invention includes a method of controlling behavior modification relating to weight loss including identifying the behavior to be modified, setting behavioral goals relating to weight management, modifying determinants of the behavior to be changed using, in part, a chewing gum composition, and reinforcing the desired behavior using, in part, a chewing gum composition. L'invention concerne des procédés pour gérer le poids corporel en substituant régulièrement une composition de chewing-gum à un produit alimentaire de collation ayant une plus grande teneur en calories que la composition de chewing-gum, ou en utilisant une composition de chewing-gum en même temps qu'une modification du comportement. De plus, la présente invention comprend un procédé pour contrôler une modification du comportement concernant une perte de poids, comprenant l'identification du comportement à modifier, l'établissement d'objectifs comportementaux concernant la gestion du poids, la modification des déterminants du comportement à changer en utilisant, en partie, une composition de chewing-gum, et l'affirmation du comportement souhaité en utilisant, en partie, une composition de chewing-gum.
