wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#692567\">Some people hesitate to quit smoking because they don&#8217;t want to gain weight. What&#8217;s the real story? Is it possible to quit smoking without gaining weight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ce074b12ac9f581421621053feeacccf wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#692567\">Be aware that smoking disrupts your body, to the point that you often end up underweight compared to non-smokers. Men who smoke, for example, weigh on average 2.8 kg less than non-smokers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d29b701db030c4745a0fff8216d73c63 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#692567\">In women, the weight difference is 3.8 kg. By quitting smoking, you naturally regain the few kilos you would have kept if you had never smoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-77ffce39658800413b2db2c983421194 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#692567\">On average, weight gain varies from 2 to 4 kg. Nothing to worry about! Especially since a little exercise and a balanced diet will help you avoid gaining weight when you quit smoking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/accordion-item\" data-style=\"{&quot;elements&quot;:{&quot;link&quot;:{&quot;color&quot;:{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;var:preset|color|theme-palette3&quot;}}}}\" data-text-color=\"theme-palette3\" data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;woocommerce-accordion-item-2&quot;,&quot;openByDefault&quot;:false}\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initIsOpen\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-accordion-item has-theme-palette-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c8946760633487d946c7e40d35d2ec64 is-layout-flow wp-block-woocommerce-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/accordion-header\" data-icon-position=\"left\" data-icon=\"chevron\" data-style=\"{&quot;elements&quot;:{&quot;link&quot;:{&quot;color&quot;:{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;#692567&quot;}}},&quot;color&quot;:{&quot;text&quot;:&quot;#692567&quot;}}\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-accordion-header has-text-color has-link-color accordion-item__heading icon-position-left wp-elements-754e9d8f5951c02b3df2e0ce21dc22d2 is-layout-flow wp-block-woocommerce-accordion-header-is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#692567\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"woocommerce-accordion-item-2-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"woocommerce-accordion-item-2\" class=\"accordion-item__toggle\"><span>Why do people gain weight after quitting smoking?<\/span><span class=\"accordion-item__toggle-icon has-icon-chevron\" style=\"width:1.2em;height:1.2em\"><svg width=\"1.2em\" height=\"1.2em\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M18.0041 10.5547L11.9996 16.0134L5.99512 10.5547L7.00413 9.44482L11.9996 13.9862L16.9951 9.44483L18.0041 10.5547Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div inert aria-labelledby=\"woocommerce-accordion-item-2\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"woocommerce-accordion-item-2-panel\" role=\"region\" data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/accordion-panel\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-accordion-panel\"><div class=\"accordion-content__wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-woocommerce-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a12464413934ca8b3a04844e4e7afa5e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#692567\">Smoking a pack a day burns 250 calories! Furthermore, the loss of taste and smell inevitably reduces appetite.

For example, use ketchup instead of mayonnaise, skim milk instead of whole milk, and low-fat cottage cheese instead of high-fat cottage cheese.
