Quit Smoking and getting Fat - Help

[LronTheServerLegend]

I quit smoking and now I have put on like 20 lbs of fat. I am not the man you all once knew who could seduce a woman with a glance and make her butter melt like a lipid based niagra falls.

I do not know what to do. Please help.

Thanks mae and va for the advice. If i keep putting on weight im going back to smoking.

[Big_Japan]

had 2 sit quietly last week while my auntie talked about how dumb her doctor was for telling her her fatness was just mathematical "calories in, calories out" as she sipped on her 3rd bottle of hard cider

[maerilith]

Yes, but if your diet and metabolism sucks it's really hard to control yourself and keep those calories down.

[cs616]

Swim laps for 30 mins 2-3 times a week. Can fuck up your hair, but way better than running or eating healthy.

[Estolcles]

I quit smoking weed for 3 months a couple years back. I gained 30 pounds, and all of my health went straight to hell. (All my doctors told me to stop doing whatever it was I was doing. I told them the only change was I stopped smoking weed. A couple said to start back up again.)

Sometimes, the unhealthy shit keeps us healthy.

All great advice, the problem is im not willing to do any of this, im just looking for sympathy.

[Rayzor84]

Dude stop overeating.

U don't need keto, or anything else. Nicotine reduces your appetite and slightly speeds your metabolism. There's a STRONG chance you are snacking more because you feel more hungry, and may or may not realize it. I'd cut back maybe 150 calories from what u ate while smoking, to account for possible metabolism changes. Otherwise, u are eating more now. Stop.

Being fat. At least you're better at everquest when you're loaded up with black tar.

[Cazlo]

Eat nothing but iceberg lettuce. Eat as much as you want so you're never hungry and watch as you shed the pounds.

[Susvain2]

Get a lot of bird's eye chilli peppers. Whenever you usually smoke and your rituals are most ingrained, after meals, when you wake up ect, eat a few peppers. When you feel that compulsion to obtain and consume something and it is not time for a regular meal, eat a few peppers. When the corner of your mind flashes upon the bleakness of your remaining days consisting of you killing time trying to distract yourself from mourning the indulgences that obscure the taint of existing in an an inanimate universe that has neither god nor justice beyond abject oblivion for you and everything you love, eat a pepper. That's how I managed to quit a 40+ year habit this, and I absolutely love smoking, I was never not smoking when awake.

[Archalen]

I eat healthy, don't smoke, and stay skinny no matter what I eat. My advice is to quit being bad at genes and self control.

[myriverse]

Eat less. Do more.

It is as simple as that.

Smoked for 25 years.
Quit cold turkey.
Lost 80 lbs. within a year.
Because I ate less and did more.

[Jfertal]

[LronTheServerLegend]

Thanks for all the helpful responses.

Did you guys find that your craving for excessive calories went away after a while? Or is this something im just going to have to get used to controlling?

[Sidelle]

Something as simple as cutting out sugary drinks, lattes, etc can shave off around 20lbs within a 4 to 6 weeks period without going on a complete diet and exercise program. People don't realize how quickly those empty calories can add up.

Assuming you aren't one of those people ordering fast food or pizza every day. Just eat normal food (be reasonable), stick to water (add crystal light if water is too boring), lose 20 lbs without really trying. It works.

[LronTheServerLegend]

Shut up sidelle

[GnashingOfTeeth]

If you drink a glass of water every time you feel a bit of hunger when it is not meal time, and eat a few slices of cucumber, pickle, or celery and do something else for 10 mins you will not be hungry this is how I lost 15 lbs after giving up the vice.

[LronTheServerLegend]

Thats a fair point, if you distract yourself when hungry...after 15-30 minutes it goes away, but oh my dear god are those long minutes.

[GnashingOfTeeth]

just remember, pickles, cucumbers and celery, veggies in general are somewhat free to eat foods, not much in calories and they take calories to burn.

Ribs on the other-hand, not so much.

[Sidelle]

Shut up sidelle
Shut up yourself, fatty.

[LronTheServerLegend]

WTF

[GnashingOfTeeth]

Fatty lol teh means are here.

[HalflingWarrior]

I went thru the same thing man. Nicotine really kills your appetite.

I suggest eating LOTS of salad (with light oil/balsamic vinegar dressings), LOTS of fruits and veggies, LOTS of nuts....

And drinking even more water. Keep yourself full on these things instead of trying to battle the newfound food cravings.

You could lose 20 lbs in 4 weeks by cutting out soda if you drink the equivalent of 18 cans of coca cola a day (2500 calories of sugery drinks). Also, aspartame and other sweeteners have various side effects associated with them (including increased hunger in some people). Studies have shown people that switch to diet sodas don't tend to lose weight.

Not saying this isn't good advice, or that it isn't a viable strategy, because it is. But for many it's just as hard or harder than making other dietary changes or increasing exercise level. For me it is. Meals without Coca-Cola are just so empty.

Having said that, it's a great approach if you can swing it. I would suggest switching to water rather than a diet drink. In the end, it all comes down to willpower.

-Laithus
It worked for me, though I've never consumed 2500 calories of coke a day -- ever in my life. Lol, that's an insane amount of sugar. I was drinking maybe two or three 20-ounce bottles of coke a day while chained to a desk for ten hours at work. I switched to mostly water (love that office water cooler) and only when I couldn't stand the lack of sweetness anymore I would mix in a bit of the crystal light. I didn't bother with diet sodas at all because (1) they taste like utter shit and (2) I knew that water was key in losing any amount of weight, even if I did add drink mix sometimes.

Cutting out the coke cold turkey was truly awful the first week but it got easier, but after two or three weeks I was surprised because I really didn't miss it that much anymore. To this day, I've managed to stick to it and it's been several years. Not sure what happened but coke doesn't even taste good anymore. Now my preferred beverage when I want something more than water is iced tea with a bit of honey in it.

[LaithusFTW]

I go through periods where I decide I'm going to cut out the soda to drop the extra 10-20 pounds of unwanted weight. The only 2 reasonable substitutes for me are Coke Zero and Crystal Light. Coke Zero is miles better than Diet Coke imo. Diet Dr. Pepper is ok, but has a blechy aftertaste. I always go back to regular Coke at some point.

I feel calorie counting is pretty foolproof. If you're serious about losing weight, it's the most logical route to take. It lets you decide if that 1-2 cokes a day is worth the tradeoff of extra food on your plate. Or the extra mile you have to run.

[maerilith]

I think I drink way too much coffee too which upsets my stomach and metabolism, making me desire coke. It's a very easy slippery slope from me to get to donuts, coffee and 40oz dr peppers from veggies.

Check out the "My Fitness Pal" app for android or iphone. It helps you track your calories / exercise and sets recommendations based on your goals. Its a great visual aid if you have a hard time keeping track of what you're eating while trying to lose weight. If you stick with it, it works.

I'm working on a similar app that shows you a hot naked chick every time you enter a healthy meal...and a fatty every time you eat shit. Main roadblock at this point is keeping people honest instead of lying about meals and just fapping all day.

Fapping has gotta burn some calories so you're on the right track, encouraging people to exercise and shit

[Pookieson]

have you tried killing yourself?

[Rangerboy]

@Pookieson WTF man lol. No but the key to not getting fat when quitting smoking...is...having the right mind set. First off don't believe that quitting smoking will get you fat and have some confidence in yourself. Take personal responsibility and get your shit together (sometimes a good slap to the face helps). Second, control what goes in that pie hole, Eat more fruits and veggies instead of processed foods. Lastly, Exercise...and when I say this I don't mean intense Arnold arm workouts. What I mean is simple 3 days a week taking 20-30 minute jogs outside. Maybe lifting some weights replacing some of those days, nothing too complex. Don't be afraid to work out, just fucking slap yourself in the face and stop being a pussy, and do it because its good for you and you know it.

- I use to smoke 5 years and i quit 4 years ago. I never got fat.

i would advise snorting aderol on an hourly basis, which will supplement the lack of stimulants in your worthless body and give you that extra umph of motivation you need because you have none and are literally a waste of air and other precious human resources without. maybe then you will contribute to this planet; fuck.

Couch to 5k to start, or bike instead. DL my fitness pal. Purchase a small refrigerator and get the family on board. Buy fast food like apples and bananas. Eat fast food out once a week and enjoy the new life style. ATM I am training for Lake Stevens 70.3 in Aug. Good luck Bro...don't give up and when you fall dust yourself off and get back to it.
