Stop Smoking Hypnosis - Will I Gain Weight

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Smokers have been known to use the fear of gaining weight as an excuse not to quit. Using tobacco as a weight control mechanism is quite common as nicotine does suppress one’s appetite as well as alters the body’s metabolism. Smoking is also believed to slow the rate in which food is digested therefore making the person feel fuller for longer. The concept of using nicotine to help control the diet is known as “weight control smoking” and occurs in 40 percent of all female smokers and is quite rare in men.

Getting to the bottom of your own weight control problems and bad dieting habits is one of the first things that a “weight controlled smoker” must do to be successful at saying goodbye to their smoking habit. The reality is that one would have to put on 70-100 pounds to achieve a health risk equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and this is not likely to happen. Gaining a couple of pounds while you get one addiction under control is a reality that you might have to face. There are many therapeutic behavioral techniques and hypnotherapies that can help one deal with not only their quitting smoking, but with issues such as binge eating and weight control. Stop smoking hypnosis combined with a weight loss program is the key to success.

Exercise and dietary changes can make a big difference and can influence success in quitting smoking. A great motto to think of is just to replace a bad habit with a good one and you will not fail. Instead of reaching for a bag of chips to help you deal with your craving for nicotine, try going for a brisk walk, or start a new interesting hobby to help keep your mind interested.

Most people find that once they give up smoking their body has a better overall feeling of health and vitality. Eating right and limiting your intake of alcohol and fatty foods will begin to come naturally. Once your taste buds come back to normal you might find that you want to start cooking new and exciting healthy meals. Don’t let the first couple of pounds scare you away from long-term success. A short-term gain of a few pounds for a long-term loss of a very bad habit. Your weight will fall into place with a little time dedication and effort. It’s worth it!

Stop Smoking - Without Weight Gain

Friday, November 21st, 2008

OH: Stand outside during a smoke break and it won’t be long until you hear every smoker begin to declare that he or she knows quitting is inevitable. The increasing cost of cigarettes alone has made a financial impact on the smoker.

“I quit, then I gained 20 pounds. I can’t afford to gain weight with my medical history, so I started smoking again,” Leslie B. from Canton Ohio revealed during the smoke break outside the local hospital where she works as a Certified Nursing Assistant.

Leslie is an intelligent person and she’s aware that smoking is indeed far more of a risk to her health than the doctor’s order to keep her weight off, however, right now today, the harm of smoking is not as physically apparent as the harm in her weight gain.

The habit and addiction of smoking is undeniable. One of the all-encompassing hurdles to overcome is the need for hand to mouth pacification. Many smoking cessation programs encourage smokers to replace that need to pick up a smoke with eating candy, carrots, celery - anything that would appease the urge to pick up ’something’ and put it in your mouth.

This advice, though logical on the surface, is not good advice for the person with the challenge of weight control. Let’s face it, anything you can put in your mouth, must be edible (with the exception of course of cigarettes, which is not an edible product) and could lead to weight gain.

Most smoking cessation programs and products do very little to ’settle the nerves.’ When a person is trying to quit smoking and at the same time, trying to refrain from overeating - the nervousness, the jitters, the crabbiness, will drive a person to either eat or smoke.

Tony Latina, owner of Advanced Laser Solutions, located in Garfield Heights Ohio now offers the same low-level laser therapy for those that want to loose or control their weight. Tony said, “The same principles apply, we use the painless low-level laser treatments and target the points in the body to increase endorphins. This allows a person to remain calm and removes cravings.”
