How to Quit Smoking - Overcoming the Increase in Appetite

Apart from being addictive, nicotine is a natural appetite suppressant. That is why all people attempting to quit smoking experience not only tobacco cravings, but food cravings and hunger pangs as well. It is quite difficult to resist both temptations at the same time, but not impossible. In fact, there are ways which will help you overcome both cravings at the same time.

Drinking water helps you quit smoking and overcome the boost in appetite. It reduces the craving for tobacco and fills your stomach up so you automatically forget about tobacco and food at least for a while. It is recommended that you sip water through a straw when you want to have a cigarette. This will help you overcome the need to smoke both physically and psychologically. Similarly, it is a good idea to have a glass or two of water before a meal. This will help you eat less.

Eating more frequently will certainly help you deal with the increased appetite when trying to quit smoking. It is best to have two snacks in between meals so that you can overcome hunger pangs and cravings more effectively. It is a good idea to pick snacks that will replace the need to smoke that is common during breaks at work. Choose hard foods that you can chew on. Some great options include raw nuts and seeds, carrots and celery sticks. You may also want to try snacks that are more filling such as whole grain energy bars. Low-fat yogurt should also help keep down your appetite.

Exercise can help you cope with your food craving and nicotine cravings. When you work out, you are less likely to think about food. In some people, exercise even works as an effective appetite suppressant. Besides, sweating will stimulate you to drink more water and you will feel full. It has been proven that exercise suppresses tobacco cravings as well. Whenever you feel like eating or smoking, you should go for a walk around the block or do some exercise indoors.

Do not be too harsh on yourself when it comes to eating during the period of quitting smoking. You can readily increase your portions just a little bit. You may want to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet so that you can eat more without putting on weight. If the natural methods do not keep your appetite down, you can try suppressants such as apple cider vinegar or pills which are known to be safe and to work.
