Some of my stop smoking clients tell me that they are afraid that they will gain weight when they stop smoking. Here are my thoughts on that subject.

It is not guaranteed that you will gain weight when you quit smoking BUT if you do gain a couple of pounds, then maybe what is happening is that your body is re-hydrating.

We know that smoking dehydrates the body, we can see those results on smokers skin. So when you stop smoking and re-dehydrate the body – that is a good thing.

If you find yourself gaining too much weight after quitting smoking, there might be a couple of other reasons that this is happening. One is behaviour modification needs to be addressed and you need a new healthier habit like drinking water or you perhaps you are addicted to the sugar that was in your cigarettes.

Did you know that the tobacco companies are the #2 consumer of sugar? They use sugar to coat the tobacco leaves.

When sugar enters your system, the body “FEELS GOOD” for a short moment. When you are smoking 15, 20 of 30 cigarettes through out the day, you are constantly giving your body sugar. Sugar is the addiction here, not tobacco...

So to help yourself when you decide to stop smoking, add plenty of water and whole foods that contain natural sugars and fibre. Fruits and vegetable have the water your body is craving, and just enough sugar to make you feel good.

Replace the bad habit of smoking with a good habit of drinking lots of clean, clear pure water and enjoying healthy foods in the right amounts and portion size. By doing that you will be either maintain and even achieve your ideal body size and shape.
