How-to-avoid-weight-gain-when-stopping-smoking
By Mike Durand
Fear of gaining weight is a barrier for many when it comes to
quitting smoking. However, with proper planning and the use of
some of the different products available, weight gain is not an
inevitable side effect. Understanding the quitting process and
coming up with a detailed plan to deal with the challenges that
arise will help prevent undesirable side effects.
One reason weight gain occurs during an attempt to stop smoking
is due to the desire for something to replace cigarettes. This
may occur at a psychological level, as the need for rewards or
treats, or as a behavioral issue, feeling at a loss without the
action or activity of smoking. The need to snack may also occur
in response to the unpleasant feelings associated with nicotine
withdrawal. Being prepared for all of these possibilities means
anticipating their occurrence and having coping strategies ready
so you are not taken by surprise.
Plan ahead to have healthy snacks on hand, as well as plenty of
drinking water, and turn to these when you experience cravings
or the restless need for something to do with your hands. Try
to avoid trading one bad habit for another, by not including foods
that are high in sugar, salt or fat in these replacement choices.
If you feel the need for treats, try to find alternatives that
will not be costly to your health. A massage, a nice bath, fresh
flowers, or a new outfit are some ideas for rewarding yourself
in positive ways without harmful consequences.
Similarly, you can work on learning to replace your smoking habit
with other, healthier behaviors. To help fill the gaps in your
day, take up walking or jogging, a new sport, or some other form
of physical activity. This will help keep you occupied, help you
get in shape and lose weight, keep your appetite under control,
and assuming you choose an activity you enjoy, give you something
to look forward to. Try involving a friend or pet in order to
get even more out of your time.
Smoking cessation products can also be useful in helping you avoid
weight
gain during withdrawal, by reducing
the unpleasant side effects including cravings that may prompt
you to overeat. Nicotine replacement therapies, hypnosis, acupressure
and other diverse methods of stopping smoking all can play a role
in helping you overcome destructive habits, and find healthier
ways of living. Meditation is another drug-free way to replace
your addiction with a greater source of inner peace and reflection.
Strategies that help reduce stress are useful in a number of ways,
and should be a part of any stop smoking plan.
Explore the many options available in order to make your plans
to quit smoking a reality, without suffering any unwanted weight
gain. With a little planning and preparation, you will be well
on your way to looking and feeling great.
