Best Answer

If you are above your recommended weight, then even if you currently have a healthy diet and exercise, you are obviously not doing enough.

Remember the idea is to exercise MORE than calories you consume. So either top up your exercise quota or pay more attention to the food you are eating.

Good luck!

To my understanding, when you quit smoking your body goes thru a lot of hormonal changes. All of your body is affected as well as your thyroid gland which controls your weight/metabolism. Most people gain weight after quitting and for approx 6 months your body metabolism seems to go haywire (even if your already dieting). So I say " no " you don't lose weight when you quit smoking. Weight gain would be due to trying to replace the oral fixation. Basically giving your body the time it needs to overcome the nicotine addiction and cleanse itself, as well as remaining on a diet is the best plan for a new healthy you.

Of course! In fact it will be easier to lose the weight since you will be able to breath better while working out, allowing you to work out for longer periods of time!

Does smoking cigarettes cause weight loss?

It's unclear whether starting smoking actually helps a nonsmoker to lose weight. However, quitting smoking DEFINITELY causes weight gain. So if your plan is to somehow start smoking, lose weight, and then quit (assuming you are able to do so), this is NOT a good weight loss tactic. Especially when you consider that the risks of smoking are FAR greater than the risks of carrying around a few extra pounds (or even alot of extra pounds). Furthermore, smoking reduces your ability to exercise, which is VERY important when it comes to losing weight and keeping the weight off.
