nicotine and dieting

[FlexManning]

Before I used last month's Musclemag to wipe my ass I noticed a mention
of many bodybuilders chewing nicotine gum or smoking during the last
weeks of a diet, the theory being that it kills your appetite and
is a mild stimulant through different avenues than clen, eph and caff. , etc.
I'm dieting right now without drugs except for ephedrine and caffeine (too
broke, moving) and I started using Skoal Bandits and it has kept my appetite
down. I can start and stop on this pretty easy. Does anybody else do this?
Use some sort of nicotine I mean.

The ephedrine should be enough to suppress your appetite.

I take 4 tablets of Xenadrine every day and the ephedrine in that stops me getting very hungry.

btw SKOL Bandits are well known to give mouth cancer.

I wouldn't touch them personally.

I would put nicotine in the same category as Nubain. It's a DRUG! no matter the exuse for it's use, it's still a drug. I am not saying it's right or wrong, but to me bodybuilding is building a healthy body. I've had too many friends die from recreational drugs, and bodybuilding mix. That I really don't reccomend it.

Yes, it will kill cravings. But, you can get hooked.

stick with the gum, safer for you than the chew

I agree - if you HAVE to use nicotine, use the gum.

Although, personally I wouldn't bother with a substance that is as addictive as nicotine.

Just my 2 cents.

It seems kind of funny when we're worried about using Skoal Bandits
for a few weeks when the pro bodybuilders are using meth, ecstacy, nubain,
DNP, cocaine, pot, diuretics, etc. in addition to anabolics.

I have to agree that our worries are futile compared the the pro-bodybuilders use. But, those guys are just "enjoying" their life....whatever makes you happy..

Very true, but personally speaking the only supplements that I am using a whey protein, flax oil and Xenadrine. I have no intention of using some of the more hard-core stuff, and plan to stop using the Xenadrine once I get to my target weight - and then just stick to cardio/weights and a healthy diet.

I have no problem with others using all the hard-core stuff - to each his/her own, but I personally think that Skoal Bandits are a cause of mouth cancer (I remember reading quite a lot about them many years ago).

I wouldn't use Bandits or add something else to my routine which could become addictive - i.e. nicotine), but then that's me.

Live and let live - that's my motto.

I'd say if it isn't affecting your workouts, i.e. ENDURANCE...and you like the feeling/effects, go for it...
