How to reduce weight: From a foodie after quit smoking

Weight loss is kind of epidemic in around world. A friend of mine hardly 100 lbs, worried much and trying to reduce non-existence fat [Pun Intended]. A regular exercise with controlled diet is really important for healthy life style but too much diet and harsh weight loss are not good for one’s health.

Here my post, I’m concentrate on weight gain after quit smoking and how to reduce it. After quit smoking, we tend eat more which is unavoidable. As per my opinion, don’t stop it, eat as much as we can and gaining 10-20 lbs doesn’t matter, what matter is 1000+ chemicals from smoking. When I quit smoking I was ranging between 180 lbs to 190 lbs, but after quit smoking it raised to 220 lbs. After a month and half, regular exercise and diet now my weight is 199 lbs. I’m not writing this for my self pride, there are some out there still smoking thinking about weight gain after quit smoking.

1. Addict to one type of food, meaning if you like Pizza means eat more and more pizza as replacement for smoking.
2. Always set a threshold for weight gain and check periodically weight.
3. Once reached the threshold weight, stop eating “smoking replacement food”. We can’t stop it as cold turkey, one day don’t eat your favorite food rather eat subway and next day eat less favorite fatty food like wise stop it completely.
4. Drink 5-6 green tea but last cup should be before 5.00PM to avoid insomnia.
5. Morning or evening 15-20 mins brisk walking or jogging is must, first it hurts a lot because of over weight but after 2-3 weeks all will be okay.
6. Eat half filling and have remaining stomach for fruits and juice.
7. No ice cream, snacks and beer.
8. Drink Red Wine which is really great for burning extra fat.

Have fun, happy weight loss
