Eat less, do exercises. Simple as that 😛 Without self control that's impossible, of course

I'd been smoking 3.5yrs when I quit. Was off them for 4.5 months, been smoking again for the last 5 months.

do you think it's the actual cigarettes that kept your weight down or the fact that you tended to snake more instead of smoking when you stopped?

They do act as an appetite suppressant. Not nearly as well as cocaine, but they do take the edge off.

I always see these lines "just eat less". You know that is incorrect, right? When I was in school, I would eat two large plates of spaghetti bolognese and NEVER gained any weight. Unfortunately I continued these eating habits into my late 20s...

It might seem intuitive, but just eating less is not the way to really get in a weight-loss regime, as it will just bugger up your metabolism. Sure, you may lose some weight, but you won't be healthy and that is much more important.

3 Small, yet balanced, meals a day, with snacks including fruit in between meals and 500ml water per 40kg. Exercise at least 3 times a week and walk as much as possible.
Easy as that...

Not for me. I want a coffee with my smoke, so if I smoke I drink LOTS of coffee...

He did say to also do exercises. 😕

Most people eat a lot more than their ideal daily intake, so eating a bit less is usually good. Right?

If your metabolism isn't capable of dealing with the same amount of food, reducing the intake can help (as long as you don't go on some crazy "diet". I mean, eating just one large plate of spaghetti is probably a good idea).

Of course, I think the most important thing is regular exercise.

yeah, excersize is great, losing weight or not, but dropping the amount of food is simply the easiest way really. and metabolism schmetabolism - the body simply can't make up the calories out of thin air. I think it's just another excuse (although maybe a scientific one). there were no fatties with low metabolism or 'genetic obesity' in the concentration camps.

that said, I knew a guy who died of heart attack at 25 because of an agressive diet. drastic starvation for a big guy is very dangerous. the body needs time to adjust. but I seriously doubt something like eating 60% portions of everything can induce anything more dangerous than irritation and hunger. and the hunger will pass in a week or two. cravings will remain for a couple of months though. and you'll be a meaner bastard for decades longer without the stroke in your 50s or 60s.



and that said, I'm gonna have the big plate of bolognese now.

I agree with you. Maybe I should have added eat less "but balanced and healthy" in my first post. Joining some sport club or gym helps too because in addition to being healthy to your body it also helps to develop good mental attitudes regarding food.

After you work something physically demanding for two hours in order to be fit you are unlikely going to spoil all of your efforts with tons of junk food after your training. Of course, danger still exists but it's less likely to happen.

Well coffee is a given. Who doesn't want coffee when they smoke?
