My dad quit smoking but gained weight? -
my dad recently quit smoking (woo hoo no more second hand!) but hes been eating more normaly this wouldnt be to much of a problem except for the fact that he also has borderline diabetes so how can he get rid of his cravings?
P.S. hes a bit of a health nut exersizes like 3 hours a day uses the chuck noris home gym thing bearly eats any sweets. Hes just been eating more overal
He has to see a doctor because he is border-line diabetic. Only a professional can suggest dietary modifications and exercise regimes that won-t tip the scales in favor of diabetes.
A low GI diet is recommended for people with diabetes. If he-s getting plenty of fiber in his diet, he-s less likely to get cravings or feel hungry.
If he is borderline diabetic, it is ESSENTIAL that he gave up smoking, as the combination is absolutely lethal, so give your dad a big thumbs up.
If he-s having trouble sticking to a diet, he needs to see a nutritionist who can devise an eating plan for him.
Good news is, people who go on a diet when they give up smoking are more likely to stay smoke-free.
it is normal because in sted of smoking u eat after he is over smoking and is totally off he will be a bit fatter so just tell him to go to the gym or running
Ask if he would try chewing gum to help curb some of his food cravings.. and urges for a cigarette....it worked for me...
