Buy Walking VideosAYDS Diet Chews
This old commercial shows the AYDS Diet Chews. I remember my mom tried them. They didn’t help her lose weight. I tried them, thinking that I might lose weight. They tasted like Tootsie Rolls.
It seems like every decade has their own strange diet remedies. They were just as bad in the 1980’s as they are now. In twenty years, the Trimspa commercials will seem just as strange, except for the unfortunate choice of names.

I heard about them looking for diet candy.
I meant low cal candy.

I remember seeing them advertised in magazine, etc. when I was a little kid. Wasn’t it originally spelled AIDS? if I’m not mistaken they originally came out before news of the disease/syndrome did.

I actually lost weight in ‘69 & ‘70 using this form of appetite control. Along with exercise and watching what I ate this Ayds chocolate or caramel chew worked great for me. And it was spelled AYDS. I loved them and would use them again today if they were around.

Hi Elaine,
Go to the pharmacy and buy chewable calcium supplements. Available in chocolate and caramel.
People who are low in calcium have reduced ability to burn fat.
I am not certain, but would bet money that AYDS were the same thing that is now marketed as chewable calcium.
I have lost 25 pounds using these before breakfast and supper. I chew one 20 minutes before the meal with a cup of tea, or sometimes I save the supper one for after I eat and make it my dessert!
Mostly I believe that this works because there is a trigger to fullness which is delayed by about 20 minutes, if you start the eating 20 minutes before a meal with one of these chews and a hot beverage you will not overeat as the trigger comes sooner.
Good luck,
Lucy
