| Stop smoking caused the added weight? |
Quitting smoking is a decision that is good for health. However, you also need to be aware of the side effects that can occur after smoking cessation. One of them is weight gain.
Several previous studies have shown that quitting smoking can increase your weight up to two to three kilograms. However, a recent study published in bmj.com shows that you can also add weight to five kilograms.
Researchers looking at the 62 studies found that ex-smokers tend to gain weight up to 4.67 kg within 12 months after quitting smoking. Usually ex-smokers will experience weight gain significantly in the first three months.
Even so the weight gain may vary from one person to another. Approximately 16% of former smokers actually lost weight, while 13% were former smokers can add up to 10 kg body weight.
Based on the BBC (11/07), this discovery is very important because most people who smoke pay attention to their weight. Knowing the fact that they could gain weight could stop their efforts to quit smoking.
"When you quit smoking, your appetite will grow and make you more snacking. To avoid excessive weight gain, you should eat healthy snacks, such as fruit," advises the NHS on people who want to quit smoking
The fact that smoking can gain weight should not be a barrier to stop smoking. Although excessive weight can also be a trigger for obesity, but it is not to be feared if you keep watch their weight, and kept trying to run a healthy lifestyle.
