Most smokers are afraid to quit because they fear getting fat. Gaining weight after quitting nicotine is easy to avoid if you introduce a few rules into your life.
It is necessary
- - table of calorie content of products;
- - subscription to the gym.
Instructions
Step 1
In order not to get fat after quitting smoking, you should adhere to several rules. Their strict observance will help not only not to gain excess weight, but also to get rid of a couple of extra pounds.
Muscle memory
It is necessary to clearly understand that during smoking, not only the respiratory organs are involved, but also the hands. A smoker, at the slightest nervousness, takes up his hands with a cigarette, not even realizing it. This is how muscle memory works.
This means that the process of quitting smoking is not only about giving up inhalation of poisonous smoke, but also about replacing the habit of holding a cigarette in your hands, bringing it to your lips, and so on. The easiest way is to replace these habits with something - for example, to occupy your hands with rosary during an attack of the desire to smoke.
Step 2
Hunger
After quitting smoking, excess weight is gained insofar as a person begins to chew something all the time. This is easily avoided if you understand that the feeling of hunger is very similar to the feeling of nicotine hunger. If you stop smoking and you feel hungry all the time, do not increase the amount of food you eat, but rather change its composition in favor of low-calorie plant foods.
Step 3
Sport
Weight gain also occurs because during smoking a day you spent one and a half hundred kilocalories more than after giving up the fatal habit. Judge for yourself: even without the bouts of uncontrolled chewing characteristic of people who quit smoking, extra 150 kilocalories give an increase in weight of about 2 kilograms in three months. This is 6 kg per year.
The conclusion is simple: burn these one and a half hundred kilocalories in the gym or in some other way. At least move more! Moreover, after quitting smoking and cessation of oxygen starvation of the whole organism, there will be more than enough energy for this.
