@Mrmik - I've gained 22lbs. since quitting smoking and going to
vaping only in Jan. 2014. Went from 1 - 1 1/2 PAD for 42 years, to
vaping 6mg
eliquids. Did
not change my diet at all (the amount of food I eat, the types of foods I eat, when I eat, etc.), the amount of exercise I get...nor
anything else. I also take thyroid meds, but had been on the same dosage for the last 23 years, with my weight
never changing more than 2-3 pounds up or down, in that time period. Then I quit smoking, and in the last 2 1/2 years have gradually added the 22 pounds.
My endochronologist won't change my meds to help with the weight gain (nor other symptoms I'm having related to thyroid issues now that I quit smoking). He told me that quitting smoking changes your
whole metabolism.
That's why even many people who
didn't replace smoking with eating more, nor eating snacks and other things as smoking replacements, will still gain the weight. So...maybe that's what's happened to you, too!
Since he won't adjust my meds, I'm considering raising my nic level in my DIY eliquids. I want to see if
that makes a difference in my weight, and in my energy level that's been way down since quitting smoking.
I'll be interested in hearing if your weight changes if you adjust your nic level.
(even though I have gained a lot of weight since I quit 
)
