Have any of you gained weight since stopping the analogs and just doing vaper? Is it giving up the nic that makes people gain?
I'm no expert, but I think that the weight gain comes from the fact that nicotine is an appetite suppressant. You stop the nicotine intake, you get hungrier. You snack. You gain weight.
Being aware of this is half the battle... and fight the hunger. Suck hard candies instead of eating a bar of chocolate. Eat popcorn instead of a bag of chips.
Smart choices... that's what it's all about.
I've actually managed to lose 35 pounds in 6 months, and I'm hypothyroid... so I have a tendency to gain weight.
I gained 8 pounds quickly when I quit smoking in June. I started smoking again in December and smoked for a couple of months ( like 10 ish a day). I now have not had an analog in 3 weeks and have seen no gain. I must say though that I exercise at least 4 days per week. That made no difference in June though. The 8 pounds came quick and I have yet to get them off! lol

Wally my man!!!! LOL Good for you on the weight loss! That's awesome. I've just always heard it's not just the eating that makes you gain weight when you quit smoking, it's the nic that speeds up your metabolism and without it you will automatically gain weight no matter what you eat. Who knows!
IMHO one of the main reasons that people gain weight after giving up smoking is due to them nibbling, comfort eating & or sucking sweets to compensate. You just don't need to do either when using the e-cig

damn, almost spilled my cherry garcia
right now I'm digging a chocolate-strawberry-coffee-vanilla cream thing I'm working on and haven't named yet.
I've been nothing but a menthol smoker so I don't know if I'm going to like the flavor stuff. My main concern is getting off the analogs so I think that just starting with the TW menthol flavor 11 mg I HOPE I can do that. Once I know I can do without the analogs, I'll start into some flavors and things. All I know is this e cig stuff is the ONLY thing that has ever gotten me excited and motivated to thinking I can really do it and get off the analogs. I do so hope that I like it. I'm nervous and excited.
