As many of
you are well aware, quitting smoking can cause an increase in appetite. This is
because Nicotine stops hunger pains in your stomach for as long as one hour and
also causes a rise in blood sugar level. When you quit, this is reversed and
every little hunger pain is exaggerated. Eating, like smoking, is also a
pleasure evoking activity. When you quit smoking, you may feel the need to eat
more for stimulation, relaxation, comfort or as a way to socialize. Lastly,
when you quit smoking, sweeter foods taste sweeter and salty foods taste better
causing an increasing in overall appetite.Remember always to keep healthy snacks on hand and lots of water to help
control your appetite.
