Hello Faryal,
This study hits home with me. After quitting my weight steadily increased because I made few other changes along with quitting. To regain the balance and just maintain my weight I had to make other changes. I found the second bullet impacted this weight gain trend the most. I reduced my carb intake and the weight started falling off me. I found there's no benefit to carbs if your not active enough to burn them off.
