Extreme Appetite and Weight Problems

1. When the smoker stops smoking, the areas of tasting in his mouth, which lost their sensitivity, are revived and restored. This returns the ability to enjoy the delicatessens of the kitchen and increase the appetite.
2. After quitting smoking there is a tendency for activity and liveliness. The person suddenly finds out that energy accumulates within him. That energy burns more calories, so he tends to eat more.
3. There are some people, especially those the cigarette were their psychological support, who are attacked by a strong desire to eat as a replacement for cigarettes.
4. Fattening, especially in the stomach area, might even be the cause of exaggerated drinking.
5. This phenomenon is partly caused, probably, by the disposal of the poisonous effects of the cigarettes’ smoke from the digestion system and from the central nerves system. Ignore the fattening problem in the first days of the quitting. After two weeks from the day you’ve stopped smoking you can spend some time working off this problem too, if it’s worrying you too much. You can overcome the fattening problem with an alkaline diet based on a menu which contains mainly vegetables, fruits and milk products and almost no meat, bread, eggs and fish.
