And yet.....virtually all Are wrong. If I asked you the request now, what would you say?
Basic Waffle
But before you answer, please read this article.......And find out the real truth about smoking and weight gain........and Then answer.
The Old Willpower Method
This is important. Get this clear in your mind.
When you stop smoking, it does not mean that you Have To gain weight.
There are two parts to this question and it is important that you understand Both of them.
First, I need to be honest with you......
Yes, in the past, population Did tend to gain weight when they gave up smoking.
But this was Because most population tried to give up smoking using the old Will-Power formula alone.
These population believed that when they gave up, they would feel terrible.
They were then told that the Only way to deal with these cravings was to feel them.........and hope that, with time and persistence, they would go away.
They were advised above all...... To use their Willpower and Force themselves not to smoke.
And......finally, they were told.... To eat snacks or nibble this or that - Anything, in fact to keep them busy and their minds Off smoking.
Why eat?
Because the feeling or the 'hunger' for a cigarette is very similar to the feeling you get when you are hungry.
And so, in the past, population ate in the terrible mistaken trust that by eating, they could satisfy their craving for a cigarette and that it would help them keep their minds off smoking.
But of course it didn't work.....
....And the More the feeling came back..... The More they ate in the trust it could help them.
'Your present is Not dependent on your past'
So we all have to accept that there was some validity for population gaining weight in the past when they tried to quit.
But that need not be the cause today.
Remember the Cause was not giving up smoking but How these population went about the process of giving up smoking.
If you look intimately at how they went about it, you'll see that....People ate To Numb their cravings.
Remember, when you give up smoking, you too will get these same feeling/craving - 'I want a cigarette.'
And you will caress similar feelings when you realize that you cannot have one.
But unlike the old Willpower Method, you will not eat extra in order to escape or Numb these feelings.
Why?
Because, as we elucidate in Our course you will want to Welcome and Accept these feelings. You will Want to transmute them.
These Feelings/Cravings are Now the Key to your success.
Please underline this: The Old Way (Willpower method) was to hate and fear these cravings to smoke.
You were told you had a big fight on your hands, that these feelings would be unpleasant and overpowering.
And because the feeling you get when you want a cigarette is similar to how you feel when you are hungry, of course, you believed that by eating, you could satisfy these feelings or at least alleviate them.
But all you did was to temporarily block off these feelings.
By eating, you give yourself an excuse not to have to deal with and beyond doubt feel these feelings.
You put off the evil day........and started to put on the pounds!
Never forget that when you give up smoking, you will Continue to have these empty, restless, insecure cravings for the first two or three weeks.....
But now, for the first time in your life, Let yourself have these feelings, these empty sensations in your body. beyond doubt feel them, moment-by-moment in your body.
Call Their Bluff!.
Sure, you will get the temptation to eat extra - to compensate - to 'fill' in the feelings you believe you are now lacking.
These desires are natural, normal.
They are not bad in themselves. And they are Only Temporary.
Just feel them! Yes, it takes courage not to run away and try to escape by eating extra.
If you will just have patience and stay with these feelings, you will search for your occasion of truth - that these cravings are no big deal and that you can beyond doubt cope them.

Please underline:
The trust that you will automatically gain weight if you stop smoking is a myth.
However, there is one other issue we must deal with in regard to weight gain before we proceed.
This is the second part of the question we mentioned earlier........
Increased metabolism?
Again and again, get this clear in your mind: Giving up smoking does not automatically have to lead to weight gain. And even the latest studies seem to confirm this.
In a large study in the Uk bright over a thousand women quitting up smoking - no clear photograph emerged.
Some women gained weight, others experienced no turn whatsoever while other women beyond doubt Lost weight!
However, in regard to the women who gained weight - the midpoint gain of between 5 to 10 pounds over a estimate of months was ordinarily attributed to metabolic alterations i.e. The turn in their metabolic rate.
Let's look at this considered as a lot of people, especially women Still use this as an excuse not to give up smoking.
The effects of smoking
To help us, let's try to understand the effects of smoking on your weight........
First of all, smoking Does burn calories. Up to 200 a day if you are a heavy smoker. Thus smoking can increase your vigor expenditure or metabolism.
What does this mean?
It means that when you quit smoking it can cause little weight gain for determined individuals (unless we take standard action!) because their body begins to work more efficiently and their body's metabolism slows and food is digested more efficiently.
Is this bad news if it applies to you? No. It's not.
Please reconsider this.....
An midpoint candy bar contains 300 calories. If you were to stick to your regular eating habits but eat just six fewer candy bars (or equivalent fat found in some other food item) per month, you could beyond doubt forestall yourself from gaining even a particular pound.
It's that easy!
All it means is that you'll have to learn how to , as Kristy Farley points out ........outsmart the pounds!
But first, get this clear in your mind again and again.
When you give up smoking and do not Run Away From or try to Numb your cravings by Eating, You Will Not Gain Weight when you stop smoking.

Or eliminate 200 fat of food intake, and you've used up the extra fat from not smoking. What does that translate to?
2 lite beers (220 calories)
20 regular potato chips (220 calories)
4 chocolate sandwich cookies (213 calories)
