Health Tricks : How To Stop Smoking Without Gaining Weight

Good nutrition

When smoking is stopped, it is essential to adopt a specific diet, based on good nutrition, varied and balanced. Three to four meals a day maximum, with compliance with the recommendations of the PNNS: 5 fruits and vegetables per day, starchy foods at each meal, limitation of fat, sugars and salt, a good dose of water to hydrate, 3 to 4 dairy products per day, and you're done!

A diet rich in magnesium and vitamin C

Magnesium-rich foods and drinks should be consumed to facilitate transit if you feel the need for it. Then, prefer dry fruits (apricots, grapes), and especially vegetables and fruits, because smokers have more vitamin C deficiency compared to non-smokers.

A filling food

"Tobacco burns an average of 200 calories" is what motivates most women to smoke! When we stop, we should subtract these 200 calories from our diet? Difficult, when you feel the need to compensate for the lack of nicotine! The idea is to bring a balanced and complete diet that is satisfying, without cravings between meals. Exit candies, chocolates and other small sugary sweet, certainly comforting but that will leave you a bitter taste on the scale! In case of cravings to be satisfied, opt for dairy-type yogurts with a fresh fruit. To avoid any temptation, the best is to limit the fat intake and buy only what you need! (So ​​empty your cupboards of chips, peanuts, chocolate bars, anything that is superfluous and is likely to make you succumb!). When you stop smoking, what you lack is also to have something in your hand: so if you wish, take a lollipop stick and keep it. You will be less tempted to eat and you will not smoke.

And above all, in addition to all this, it is advisable to practice a sporting activity! The sport allows to let off steam and not to be obsessed by the lack of nicotine, providing a well-being effect thanks to the release of endomorphins. In other words, we run, we swim, we jog, we walk ... but above all, we empty our heads!
