hey hiii to everyone.............I have a query regarding Smoking and weight Gain. My friend is a chain smoker but from last 2 months he has cut down on his smoking, but he feels that it is putting a adverse effect on his health especially on his weight. Is this really bcause he has reduce smoking or its just in his mind. Is there a negative impact on your health after u quit smoking??

Here are some tips for parents whose child are overweight:-
1.Don't forbid any foods, simply limit them. If your kids want to go to McDonalds occasionally, fine. Just don't make it a regular occurrence.
2.Don't force your child to eat if they are not hungry. Children's appetite vary and often during a "growing spurt" they lose their appetite. Don't worry when this happens, as soon as their growing spurt is over you will find they eat extra to make up.
3.Encourage them to snack on healthy carbs like whole grain cereals with low-fat milk, whole grain bread with a light spread of peanut butter and jelly, or fruit spread or fruit breads.
4.Encourage them to eat fresh fruit regularly(keep it on our dining table or on your fridge).
5. Make salads more interesting by adding fruits like grapes, sections of mandarin orange, chunks of pineapple, sliced peaches.

I know this is an old post though I still feel the need to reply. When we are stressed or feeling down we often have different ways in which we deal with this, these are our coping mechanisms. These coping mechanisms could be anything from smoking to excessive eating. When we remove our of our coping mechanisms, we will usually need something to replace it so we are not going to something else that could be unhealthy for us, it is quite well known that many people that stop smoking will start putting on weight.

I am a hypnotherapist and I specialise in weight loss and believe that when we remove one coping mechanism we need to find a way to deal with the consequences afterwards. I would recommend looking at ways to learn how to deal with the stress or the emotional issues that may have caused you to lead to smoking in the first place or putting weight on.

This could be spending some good quality time to relax and relieve the stress from the day. I would recommend people to a massage therapist to make you feel good for yourself. Find ways you can treat yourself.

P.S. I believe we owe it to ourselves to keep ourselves fit and healthy for our family and friends. How much will it cost you in the long run if you dont keep your health. Hope this helps.
