Health Tips - Avoid the Smoking Cessation Weight Gain Cycle
Some people gain weight when they quit smoking because they substitute food for cigarettes.
Here are some easy ways to satisfy your cigarette cravings without packing on the calories:
-
Drink more water - suck on a straw or a sports bottle to make the experience more satisfying
-
Keep lots of healthy snacks handy - crunchy apples and carrots are good substitutes for cigarettes
-
Go for a walk - exercise distracts you from the cravings and burns calories, too
-
Brush your teeth - the fresh, clean taste will make your mouth feel wonderful without adding calories
