Hi All
I would like to believe that most us have quit cigarettes in order to better our health
lets take it one step further and provide some sort of insight for those who want to lose weight or live a healthier life especially after all damage our bodies have went through caused by harmful cigarette smoke
here is my story,
I use to smoke 30 cigarettes a day (average) and i never thought that quitting was ever possible until one day after my morning cigarette i felt rather ill. sore throat, terrible headache and disorientated. at that moment my body felt toxic like a walking rubbish dump at that moment i knew its time for me to quit, i have had many sleepless nights including night sweats, binge eating was another story altogether, after a week of pure struggle i found vaping which assisted my body in overcoming the urge of wanting to pick up a cigarette
I have gained 18kgs after quitting the cigs due to the binge eating however due to few changes and trying to live a healthier lifestyle i am now 20 kgs lighter after a year and i would like to share a few tips on what has helped shed this weight
A cup of green tea at 5am on an empty stomach and just walking on the treadmill on a gradient incline of 13.0 and a speed of 4.6 religiously for 3 days a week with either 5 sets of squats or dead-lifts every alternate day, this has not only given me a sense of well-being but also assisted me in decreasing my nicotine right down to 3mg and hopefully 0mg
this thread was created with the intention of helping those overcome the urge of smoking cigs and i be believe that a healthy lifestyle and exercise can assist greatly
kindly post what has helped you lead a healthier lifestyle, exercise and healthy recipes are welcomed
