quitting cold turkey...my mother who is an RN told me that nicotine changes the way the body stores fat cell and that i should expect to put on some body fat in the next few months(right now i'm 5'7 170lbs and 6%bf). Ive been working out religously for 3 yrs and I'm damn happy w/my results thus far. I eat pretty clean even though I'm a bit of a hard gainer and could probably eat anything and not gain to much. Do I really have something to worry about or is my mom just full of shit.....TIA for any advice :worried:

Gaining fat is the least of your worries, smoking is really bad for you, if you gain a percent or two it is worth it you might be saving your life. Besides now that you will beable to breath you can do a little more cardio to help.


Congrats on quitting, dont give in it will all be worth it.
 
When I quit smoking, I gained 10 pounds!!! (I'm only 5"2...so it showed!) but after 2 years, my body kinda just went back to where it was. My training didn't really change (although as mentioned, my cardio capacity sky rocketed!). I wouldn't worry too much, the benifits greatly outweigh how bad smoking is for you.

Best wishes!!!!
 
i jus quit a few weeks ago, i feel completely different, i feel healthy now and putting on a few pounds is no reason to not quit.
 
How long has everyone been smoking for?, and what method(s), are the best to quit?

Ive been smoking approx. 12-15yrs now, not so much a heavy smoker, but a smoker non the less, My wife and I tried quiting over the summer with just nicortte gum. Diddent quite work....

I dont know about everyone else but, I would have no problems quitting, until i have a cocktail! then its a pack in one night!!! I think it will take heavy drugs to get me off the damn things. Anyone try Ziban? HELP!!
 
I went the zyban route....other than a few sketchy days while the drug loaded up in my system, I highly reccomend it. I smoked for about the same as you, I had never seriously tried to quit before and it was amazing. I have been smoke free for about 2 years now.

Glad to hear it sash., was there ANY side effects to speak of??
 
yeah...while the drug was loading up in my system, I had acouple of days where I thought I was gonna die...racing heart, blurred vision and a general feeling of anxiety...but....because it's an anti-depressant (welbutrin) I started feeling better. once you star approaching you last few days of smoking (you are supposed to smkoe as usual for 2 weeks and then set a quit day) it makes a weird tingling dry mouth feeling whenever you smoke...they start to taste disgusting.

The weird few days are not average though (i am 5"2 and at the time about 110lbs) so my doc just told me to down the dose for a few days untill my body got used to it. There are potential hazards with it (seizures..... but rare). Check with your doc to see if it might work for you
 
Nicotine doesn't alter fat storage but it does increase metabolism and decrease appetite. Withdrawal from nicotine will temporarily decrease your metabolism and your appetite will run wild. You'll need to control the urge to eat extra food. It will pass with time. Good luck! Stay strong.
 
I need to quit smoking. I have asthma really bad plus I'm allergic to smoke on top of that. I bet it isn't helping with my acid reflux at all or my heart condition. My friend Steve says if I quit smoking he will buy me a steak dinner and my roommate Rob says he will pay for dessert.
 
Blondebombshell -
To give you extra incentive to stop smoking, I though I'd let you know that just from the info in your post you have at least two risk factors for esophageal cancer. Gastroesophageal reflux causes metaplasia of the esophageal epithelium and smoking compounds it effects. Esophageal cancer is a really bad animal. You should really stop smoking girlfriend.
 
other than the obvious ones, ive read your joints can be sore and creeky if you are allergic to the nightshade family of plants.

i also heard some guru (so not sure if it is true), say the quicker you increase your lung capacity again, the quicker the pounds can be worked off. either way, doing aerobic exercize is one of the best ways to quit. the first few work outs suck, but the aerobic high is better than any cig and it gives you incentive to not pick back up. good luck all.
 
congrats on kicking that dirty, filthy, expensive, life shortening, socially undesireable habit!!

K to you!!
 
I gained about 20 lbs after quitting, i just added more cardio, and cut the junk food. 9 months later i lost the weight , got addicted to cardio, and look better than i did in my 20s lol oh yeah i looked good in my 20s. dont give up the fight
 
I've quit years ago and immediately upon quitting I can still recalled how much I felt better physically and psychologically.

Though I admit that I still do find the scent of a lit up cigarrete to be somewhat arousing from time to time reminding me of my old habits.

Do you drink? the worst for me is when having a beer or cocktail, then the urge is unbearable...

Good luck :)
 
I just quit two months ago, after many other attempts at quitting it seems like this maybe it. I tried to change everything overnight. Bumped up the water intake, started training agagin (was coming off a 6 month layoff), taking my supplements and vitamins again and eating right. Although, this may be too much for some people, the change seemed to shock my system and it seemed much easier to quit, no major urges.

But every once in awhile the urge still sneaks up on ya...

The realization that you need to stop is certainly not stupid, on contrary, a remarkably smart thinking, hence calling yourself a "fucking loser" is contradictory. However, you could called yourself "a fucking loser" on the grounds of having a profile name like "Lobsterman" LoL.

Ok bro, just think of how much healthy your body & mind would be upon quitting. It is like an opportunity for a new life, new lifestyle, new health..a new future.
 
Myself, I started smoking at about 13 or 14. I'm 37 now. But around my mid twenties, I found myself working at a place where I couldn't smoke, & had a baby daughter in the house. So I HAD to cut down my smoking due to these circumstances. Eventually, I found myself smoking only when going out on weekends, along with the alcoholic beverages. By the time I hit 30, I was only going out maybe once every month or so.
Now, I hardly have a drink. Its been about 5 months now. And for me, it means no drinking = no smoking.
For me, being seen with a cigarette is embarrassing. At work, all the smokers have to bundle up in freezing weather during break and stand outside shivering with their cigarettes in their hand. I pass them everyday as I come in, or leave for lunch. Sheez, give them their own break room or something; I'd feel so humiliated to have to do that all the time.
I don't consider myself a non-smoker. If I needed a cigarette right now, I would go buy a pack and light up. I just never have the urge. The clean living, with exercise and diet have a lot to do with it, I think. I'm more like a smoker who doesn't smoke!

fuck it dude a little pudge is better than a cigarrette habit. use it to your advantage and get to 200 lbs. get strong as fuck then diet down a bit
 
Good to see this post - I just quit (again...) this past Sunday. Surprisingly, it hasn't been tough at all yet. I'll be turning 38 in a few weeks, and I just feel like I've smoked enough in my life already... The tough part for me will be when I get the weed order I'm expecting. Here in Europe, weed is typically smoked together with tobacco. That was what killed my last attempt to quit cigarettes. I'll have to force myself to smoke it pure :p
Keep up the good work, Rat. K to you...
 
Everyone is different,I went from 92kg to 104kg.I have never felt better in my life.I have got colour back in my skin and I feel great.I do have a couple of kg I'd like to shed but as someone else mentioned a tiny bit of extra weight is still far better than smoking.Congrats anyway mate its not an easy thing to do.
 
I quit on the 15th of march. Started working out again on that same day. Have been working out religiously ever since. Hope to gain some weight. I think it has a lot to do with my body type but i am 6 foot flat was only 150 pounds. Last week i weighed myself and was already up to 159. Cant wait to see what it says next week. Been taking lots of Cytogainer, glutamine and amino 1500. Hoping to get to about 180 190 SOON! Any recommendations????
