Quit smoking again

[chipvideo]

Been 15 hours since I had a smoke. I am using the patch this time. I wonder what to expect in the gym since I have been smoking a pack a day for 5 years now without a days rest. I suppose my recovery time will be faster and my testosterone production will increase. I hear that smoking is also estrogenic.

Good for you bro.Sounds like you are really taking responsibility for your life.We all know that smoking holds no positive value for the human organism whatsoever.It's an amazing testimonial to the body's ability to heal itself that a person could smoke 1 pack and live.I started smoking when I was 11 years old and was up to 3 packs a day before I quit.I can't tell you how grateful I am not to smoke.You have my respect for the actions you are taking.

I quit chewing after 10 years using the patch and gum. Best and hardest thing I ever did. Good luck to you bro.

Is it common to gain weight when you quit smoking even if your diet doesnt change? I haven't lost a single ounce since I quit on monday even while in ketosis. I am taking the patch,so I thought that I would keep losing weight.

When you are smoking,your metabolism is on hyper-speed,trying to eliminate the poison.It may to a coupla weeks to adjust,but it's not a permanent phenonomem.As long as you don't eat as a substitute,you'll be fine.
