 Are you one of those smokers who plan to quit but you are worried about how to quit smoking without gaining weight? You are not alone. Many smokers have heard stories about how ex-smokers put on weight after they quit smoking and do fear about the weight gain when they stop smoking.
But do all smokers who quit gain weight? And if they do, why does that happen? It actually started when you choose to smoke. When you smoke, you tend to lose your taste for food. As a result, you do not find food that appetizing and as such, you lose weight.
Cigarettes become best substitute for foods. Your food appetite is altered. Once you quit smoking, your taste buds are revived and foods suddenly becomes more appetizing and as such you may tend to eat more. Without proper exercises, it is no wonder that you begin to gain weight.
While, to some people, there is no easy way to break the smoking habit without gaining weight, it is not true for all. With a bit of self control and adjustment |
