Overview
Follow Dr. Katahn s advice and kick the nicotine habit without adding those extra pounds! Everyone knows the grim statistics on smoking . . . so what s your excuse for not quitting? If you are like millions of other Americans, the weight gain associated with quitting may be the major factor. If so, this book can help you change your life. For cigarette smokers, quitting smoking is the single most important step you can take for the sake of your health, but going on a diet to control your weight after you have quit is one of the worst things you can do! Research shows that dieting can increase both your craving for cigarettes and the addictive properties of nicotine. This book explains the metabolic changes that occur and cause weight gain when smokers quit (which is why calorie cutting diets don t work). Martin Katahn presents a safe, simple program based on the latest scientific research in metabolism, biochemistry, and smoking cessation. He shows which method of quitting is best suited to your personal situation, which exercises have lasting calorie burning effects, how eating the right foods will increase your metabolic rate to compensate for the lack of nicotine, and how to use safe over the counter and prescription drugs to help you lose weight if you are an ex smoker, or prevent weight gain if you intend to quit. No matter how often you may have tried and failed, this book will help you quit smoking once and for all.
