How has your diet changed since you started vaping?

[Worzel]

I notice my diet is much better! I didn't care much for water, now I drink more! I cut down on sodas and sweets because the juices I use are all sweet, and soda gives me sugar overload and makes me thirstier. I use honey in my coffee and tea now. Doesn't make me as thirsty. I prefer Balsamic dressing to Ranch. I loved ranch when I smoked. Don't like fried food as much as I used to. Maybe vaping put me in a more health conscious state, or I just eat when I am physically hungry now, like I did when I was young before I smoked. vaping sweets cured my sweet tooth, but I get a nagging taste for salt and Vinegar potato chips once in a while!

My eating/drinking habits have changed some since I started vaping. I have been drinking water (and skipping sodas etc. for the most part) for several years now. A couple of years ago my husband developed a health issue that makes it so he has to restrict his salt intake. So I did, too. So those changes were already there when I started vaping. But since I started vaping, I've noticed I don't like quite as much "heat" as I used to on some things...meaning stuff like jalapenos or hot sauce. Still like it...but I've toned it down a lot. I also notice things in general taste better...so that's nice. I don't eat any more than I used to, just enjoy it a bit more. Maybe have a bit more of a "sweet tooth" than I used to have when smoking. I never cared about sweets back then. Now...I enjoy a little dessert or a cookie more often. (No...have not gained weight).

One big thing: I quit drinking wine every night. I found that the flavor of wine interfered with the flavor of my vape. I'd rather enjoy my vape than drink. So I stopped drinking.

I used to go through a pint of Tabasco every week! Now I don't buy the stuff! I don't put salt on my food like I used to. I like pickled jalapeños. I have a vinegar tooth now.

I eat less junk food, but I usually ate pretty healthily anyway. But, since quitting smoking, my appetite has been pretty insatiable. It's a good thing I have a metabolism that can burn 4,000 calories an hour sitting still.

You soooooo lucky! I have the type of frame if I gain a lousy pound I go up a size! I think something good is happening to my thyroid or metabolism because of my food choices now!

I prefer Balsamic dressing to Ranch. I loved ranch when I smoked. p

This !! I have loved ranch forever but when I made my salad yesteday it didnt come out right and the taste kinda replulsed me,I actually didnt connect to vaping and thought perhaps something was wrong with my bottle ( or my taste buds seeing how they have been acting crazy since I cut the last of my every now and than smokes out) now I am thinking again. I wonder how many of them odd little things we dont think much of at the time are actually connected to vaping.
The taste of pizza is currently off to me and tasting too...er...something which is a issue I hope resolves itself soon beciuse I love pizza and I want it back!

To be honest, it does feel like I am eating more when I sit down to meals. Alot of restaurant food and fast food places just taste awful to me now. Like it's plasticy and not real ( because most of it isn't.)

My meals are bigger, and I don't really want to snack more often, though. I do prefer saltier things now, when before I didn't, but would eat sweet things quite a bit (I'm not a tremendously healthy eater. My wife and I are from the South, you do the math. But the biggest impact has been on soda consumption. Water all of the things!

I recommend finding a local pizza place that handmakes their pizza. I am having that same problem from ordering from the bigger named places and it all tastes so plasticy. I went last night to a local place we have here run by a couple from Hoboken, NJ, and it was DIVINE.

Show off!

I think i have changed some but don't know how really. I have lost some kilos since i started vaping but i think it's because it feels like i care more about my looks now when i don't smell like a ashtray. I have stopped eating snacks and drink a lot more water than i used to.

Oh ye, forgot. Instead of smoking in the morning i now eat instead before work

Thanks for the tip I will be sure to try it, My taste buds are literally in phyco mode atm ………I couldn’t even eat yesterday, nothing tastes right and every time I tried it made my stomach sick but I picked up something today that should help with the situation..hopefully anyways I prefer not to skip eating for too many days when at all possible :-/

My diet has changed a lot. Before when I was smoking, I have a habit of just smoking it out when I get hungry. I lost probably 10lbs on that. I mean I have crazy metabolism I gain as fast as I lose it. Now that I have been vaping for a month, I have observed my weight is increasing. Probably it's due to all the yum yum foods that I could taste now. I don't worry much on how to lose weight, since like I have said, I have crazy metabolism

I started vaping /because/ of this. I have no thirst for pop or juice because I got vapor that tastes like it.

 

[Worzel]

I used to love raw oysters, now the things repulse me. Not even when I drown the things in lemon and cocktail sauce!

 

[El_tecolote]

Used to use lots of condiments like ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Since vaping I no longer feel the need to use them nor do I use as much salt or pepper. I have increased my sweet tooth though.

The only effect that vaping has made to my diet is a change in how much water I drink. I include diet sodas and coffee and tea along with water because despite the buzz from amateur dieticians these drinks provide a net increase in water intake.

My diet has changed a lot since I quit smoking. My senses of taste and smell have improved unbelievably so my taste in foods has widened. I'm tasting veggies and fruit again and liking it. Just about everything I always liked now tastes better. Some foods that I stayed away from because they tasted bland when I smoked are now some of my favorites.

I now drink more water in a day than I drank in a week while smoking. I was a coffee/iced tea drinker, but now I drink no more than 2 glasses of tea a day and no coffee. I also craved chocolate and would eat about a pound of Rolos or Kisses a week.
As a result of switching from smoking to vapeing I now have a lot more energy, have cut out sweets, lost 15 pounds and 2" in my waist size, and feel 10 years younger.

Vape On!!!

I notice I don't drink the coffee like I did when I smoked. 2 cups and I am done now. Half a pot when I am dead. I love flavored tea! Big Lots has a great selection of flavored tea on the cheap!

I feel like I'm the only one who had a massive spike in junk food. I used to be a really healthy eater while I smoked and now... cake and pizza and chips and salsa and queso and french bread and steak and lots of salad dressing. I've gained weight and I can't stop eating things because it all tastes so good all the time. But yeah I have a bit of a tummy now and I want to get back on the healthy train, but.... TACOS ARE SO GOOD.

Ugh I jiggle.

I was drinking a TON of soda when I started vaping. I'm a soda-holic! Now I'm trying to get more plain water and when I do soda, I do the ones with zero calories.
