How to Minimize Weight Gain When You Quit Smoking
Most people who quit smoking worry about gaining weight. It seems to go with the territory. While a small gain is normal, excessive weight gain when you quit smoking can create new health problems and erode your determination to stay off cigarettes. Learn what you can do to keep your weight under control as you go through the process of recovery from nicotine addiction.
Why do people gain weight when they quit smoking?
Smoking effects a person-s metabolism and also burns calories:
Smoking burns up to 200 calories a day in a heavy smoker
Because smoking burns calories, metabolism is boosted (increased) slightly
Nicotine is an appetite suppressant
When you quit smoking, a gain of between 5 and 10 pounds during the first few months of cessation is normal.
i know that happen...some demon had you diet on sigarre
dont go back...if you feel like smoking..place one pair of cigarett on the cabitnet..and say this is for you demont
YOU REPLACED AN ORAL FIXATION WITH FOOD....MAYBE GUM OR SOMETHING ELSE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
good for you!! DO NOT GO BACK TO SMOKING because of the weight, whatever you do, do not eat any sugar for 1 week, and see if that helps
The only things making you gain weight are your mind, hands, and mouth. If the mind were to tell the hands to put more vegetables into the mouth along with less fat, sugar, and carbohydrates, the problem would be solved. Count your calories... don-t take in more than you burn. Simple.
-Nuff said?
ok
Almost everyone gains weight when they first quit smoking it,s perfectly normal. Look at it this way losing weight is easier than quiting smoking. Congratulations on quitting and good luck with the diet.

What ever you do Don-t go back to smoking! You are now satisfying your oral craving with food. You must choose low calorie munchies perhaps celery. Drink lots of water and get lots of exercise.
