How long will you gain weight after quitting smoking?
Recently, many male friends told me that there is an obvious problem after quitting smoking, that is, they are all as fat as refueling, and they feel very distressed. Indeed, with the promulgation of the Regulations on No Smoking in Public Places, smoking has been strictly controlled in many places, including recognizing that smoking is harmful to health, and many people have embarked on the road of quitting smoking. After quitting smoking, there will be some symptoms on the body. I specially consulted my doctor friends in the hospital. Talk to your friends.

1. As we all know, nicotine is the main component of cigarettes, and nicotine can suppress appetite, so most girls who smoke have a weak appetite and are slim, and so do boys. After quitting smoking, your appetite will be significantly stronger than when smoking, so you will naturally gain weight.

2. Tobacco contains harmful substances, which will destroy the digestive function of gastrointestinal tract. After quitting smoking, harmful substances in tobacco will not be ingested, the digestion and absorption function of gastrointestinal tract will be enhanced, and the intake of nutrients will also increase. If you absorb it, you will naturally gain weight.

In order to get rid of the habit of smoking in hand and mouth after quitting smoking, many people will use snacks and lollipops to relieve it. These are all high-calorie foods, which is also the reason. Moreover, after quitting smoking, the metabolic rate of the human body will be significantly reduced. Even if you eat less, you will consume less, so your weight will increase to varying degrees.

So the doctor also said that it is normal to gain weight in a small range after quitting smoking, so don't worry too much. Generally speaking, after quitting smoking 12 months, the average weight gain is 4-5kg, mostly within three months after quitting smoking.

As the old saying goes, as long as friends keep their mouths shut and open their legs, their slim bodies are waving to us.
