How can I lose Weight after stopping smoking?!
Question: How can I lose Weight after stopping smoking.?
I stopped smoking in April of this year after twenty five years on the weed,I feel fine and did not have problems stopping however,I have put on two stone in weight and need to know how I can safely lose it and get to my happy Ten Stone which I maintained whilst smoking..
I do not actually eat any more than I did which is why it makes it more confusing and I desperately need to get rid of this weight before it gets out of hand..
Any help will be gratefully accepted thanks..Health Question & Answer

It is possible that youn are eating more junk food.?
I suggest joining a gym.. Working out is actually quite fun..
When you get to the gym warm up and then use some weights.. This will build body muscles which is better at burning calories and works of the stored energy (cabohydrates) that is in your body.. When you feel that you have done enough move onto cardio.. Running, cycling, ROWING, strairmasters.. Make sure you do these for a least 30 minutes to really getting rid of that fat and get your weight down..
Then do some situps, crunches, pressups etc to build chest and stomach muscles (and its a good rest while lying down)..
If you then have the energy do some more cardio..
It is painfull but will get easier.. Stick at it.. Dont go home and have snack - eat fruit..
It will take some time to lose the fat and build up muscle but the results are worth it.. Just dont forget to do the weights first......if you dont the cardio burns off your stored energy and doesnt rally maske a difference to your fat..
One final point - dont end up back smoking as this wont help the weight problem.. It is possible you body is finding it hard to balence after so many years of the same thing.. It wil take a while to settle down and get back into its normal cycle.. Just work out untill then to keep yourself healthy..Health Question & Answer

I agree with what everyone else says about exercise..
But as for the confusion bit, I have read that smoking (nicotine) *can* increase your body's metabolism, so that might explain at least part of your weight gain without having increased the amount you eat..
I also gained weight (for a number of reasons) when I quit smoking 5 years ago, but I sure wouldn't go back smoking for anything! Congratulations on having quit!Health Question & Answer
