I've lost 15 lbs since I started
vaping. I'll tell you what works for me but your mileage may vary. Plus you're gonna say UggH.
I vape like crazy because I can everywhere, home office car and bed (where I am now). I'd rather vape than eat.
Things didn't taste the same, I guess my taste buds got better but they seemed to be MORE discriminating. What I thought I liked before I no longer do, especially greasy junk food type stuff. Even meat is less appetizing. Lighter salads yum, can't get enough.
I've loaded my office and home with hummus, rice cakes, almonds, kale, ginger, soy, fresh veggies, fruit and yogurt, triscuts , granola etc. etc. Now I know you're turning your noses up but I NEVER ate these things before and now I crave them. Less fat tastes wonderful to me now. I was 5'4" and 141 pounds, the highest I'd ever been even when I was pregnant 40 years ago. According to the Dr. I was OK in the BMI range at 141. I lost 5 lbs, doctor said to stop losing, I've since lost another 10 so now I'm at 126 and sometimes hover down into the 125. The first 5 came off during the first four months of vaping. The last 10 have come off since about June. I feel great so the heck with the Doctor. I've gone down from a size 10 to a six but now the 6's are a little loose and I'm shopping for a 4. This is nuts! I'm 58, it's not like I'm a teenager and can drop five pounds before the weekend to fit into the new bikini for the beach party (those days are sadly gone, the dropping 5 pounds fast AND the Beach Parties!).
One last trick and it might be the most important. I was going through menopause from 50 to about 56-57, weight gain there (I went through it without the benefits of any drugs). Thats what took me up the 15 pounds I believe. Menopause is over now, just ask my husband if you can find the body (?!). Sleeping was horribly disrupted during those years and all reports point toward good sleep habits to maintain a healthy weight. I broke down this last spring and asked the Dr for Ambian. I cut then in half and each night take just the half, they relax me enough to finally go to sleep and I'm sleeping soundly the whole night. I can't tell you how much better you'll feel EVERYDAY if you are rested.
PS - I'm NOT exercising at all. I do my own housework and lawn but not running, walking or weights. If I keep feeling so good I might need to take another look at all the exercise equipment I own. Turns out just owning it doesn't do the trick, I guess you have to actually pick it up.
