Why do people gain weight when they quit smoking, I dont want too!? -
I really want to quit, I know that I need to! Someone please tell me the secrets of quitting and not gaining weight from quitting
The reason most people gain weight is cigs are curd with or dried with sugar, and that is what most poeple crave when quiting is the sugar. If you can curve your habit on the sugar and exercise and keep your hands moving and instead of being still you should be fine.
Also most poeple get depressed from lack of nicatine, maybe see your doctor about an anti depresentant..
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
I think the key is to not forget that while quitting you-re at risk to gain weight. Post notes that say as much around your home, and especially on your fridge. When you feel the urge to eat (which is replacing the urge to smoke) satisfy it, but in a healthy way. Drink an entire glass of water or have carrots and celery cut and ready, so you can fill up guiltlessly. Keep lots of sugarfree gum around. Remember that YOU are in control of your body, YOU control what you consume, the cravings are just mindless responses to mindless chemicals, but YOU have the power to determine your response. Good luck!
People sometimes eat more when they quit smoking, in fact sometimes smokers will smoke because they are hungry the habit is reversed and people eat because they want to smoke. If you increase all your healthy habits, excersize, eaing fruits - veggies. You may even lose weight and the extra sweating will help you detox faster. Drink lots of water!
Smoking keeps you satisfied from hunger. my answer is you should-t have started
Replace your smoking habit with eating fresh fruits and vegetables and exercise. You won-t gain.

That-s a great suggestion. However, the reason why some people gain wait when they quit smoking is because they eat a lot. Whenever they think of a cigarette, they just eat something thinking that will get it off their head but it doesn-t and the drama continues...
Nicotine is an appetite suppressant and smoking satisfies your oral urges. When you stop smoking, you need to keep your mouth busy - my mom chewed Trident - so you-re not just popping food in your mouth all the time. Also, I believe that using the patch will wean your body off the nicotine and help with the appetite issue - ask your doctor.
People often gain weight when they stop smoking because they are trying to find replacement habits for the one they are trying to stop. Since smoking involves a regular hand to mouth action, the most common replacement is eating ... and the more you eat, the more weight you tend to gain.
the reason people gain weight when they quit smoking is because they tend to eat unhealthy foods instead of smoking....when you quit smoking maintain a healthy eating habit and you won-t gain weight
