A large part of weight gain after smoking occurs because everything tastes better. And you're snacking instead of smoking. With a slowed-down metabolism, you add about 9 pounds. But you don't have to accept it if you start exercising. Or gradually lower your nicotine intake with patches. But that won't stop the risk of gaining weight noshing.
Why does protein-rich food make me lean?
Protein is amazing-high-quality protein (fish, meat, milk products. legumes, soybeans, and eggs) is the raw material for muscle growth. And that's not all: Protein also cranks up your metabolism because you need more energy to break it down. This digestive workout, performed by your stomach, intestines, liver gain, liver, gall bladder, and pancreas makes you leaner-simple, if you eat right. And protein makes you feel fuller than crabs.
How can I trick my brain into eating less?
First the good news: Researches have often proven it's easier to trick your brain than you think. Your brain will think a small amount of food is larger if you serve it on a smaller plate. Don't overfill your plate; get a second helping instead. The idea of seconds will satisfy your need to eat more, even if you actually eat less on the plates.
