Will I gain weight if I quit smoking? -
I am 22, female, normal weight (right now), I eat heathy and...
I have smoked cigarettes for about 3 months!
You will be fine!! Go for it girl!! I know if you chew gum in you get a craving or lolli-pop or hard candy it will help! When it gets bad just change what you are doing to get your mind off of it! Quit now before you have been smoking for years it will be that much better and easier for yourself!!! Yeah for you and the best of luck!!
It is possiable that you will gain some weight...but if you only smoked for 3 months i dont think that you will gain any weight
no, just keep eating the same amount of food. Cigarettes suppress your appetite so when you quit you might be a little more Hungery!
You may gain weight, or you may lose weight. It varies for people.
You can gain anywhere from 5 to 15 lbs. Smoking speeds your metabolism, when you quit it slows a little, but after your body gets used to being smoke free, your metabolism will go back to normal and the wieght will be easy to lose. It is better than losing your breath, isn-t it
may be yes may be not.but i think u should be gain.
Not necessarily. I quit smoking, quit drinking cokes (sodas), and cut out all sugar at the same time. If you-re gonna be miserable when quitting smoking and miserable when cutting out sugar, I figured I might as well only be miserable once! It wasn-t too bad, and I lost 60 lbs over the next year, ending up actually underweight!
Possible but you-ll be healthier and have more money to spend.
well, maybe but if you control it then you should be fine but if you must you could go and talk to a docter to see what they say about that.
Very likely, but knowing why is half the battle.
Assuming you are addicted to cigarettes, smoking them helps you feel calm and withdrawing from them will make you feel anxious. Anxiety can make people want to eat, particularly carbohydrates like pasta and bread that on their own lead to a relaxed state.
Despite the relaxation effect, nicotine is a stimulant and has been artificially raising your metabolism. You will see a slowdown as it leaves your system.
You will miss the physical sensation of having something in your hand. Don-t underestimate that.
Your senses of smell and taste will return, making food much more appealing than it used to be.
Ways to deal with this: be particularly mindful of how much you eat and of what now, before you quit. Try to maintain that same amount, or even slightly less.
Find something to occupy your hands, even if it-s just fancy toothpicks. Crochet. Jewelry-making. Whatever fits into your routine.
Be more athletic--running and other aerobic activities will bring home to you how nice it is to have fully functional lungs, plus it will relax your body and mind.
And finally, warn your friends. You will likely be a grouch for the first couple of weeks.
Try an extra 45 minutes a day on the treadmill after you quit smoking.
You, like most, probably use a cigarette to stop anxiety and nervousness. Stop smoking and you gain a lot of weight. A Lot. They say chew gum, eat carrot and celery sticks. etc and on and on. This -replacement- therapy works for maybe one in one thousand. Once you realize this, you can set your plan and stop without gaining weight. Make a plan that you can live with not one made of -their- excuses. It is easy for -them- to give you ideas for -replacement- therapy as they are not the ones stopping smoking. Do not listen to their lies. Make a plan for you as to what you will do and then stop. If you can live with your plan you can stop without weight gain.
You-ll gain life.
Only if you replace the smoking with eating...
If you substitute eating for your cravings to smoke, yes, you can possibly gain weight. But if you watch what you eat - continue eating healthy, then I wouldn-t think you-d have anything to worry about.
Not if you replace them with carrots or celery sticks. Cigarettes can suppress your appetite, so you have to make sure that you don-t eat snacks with a lot of fat or calories when you give up smoking.
