Hi folks
just wondering if anyone can help me.
I only quit smoking about 4 days ago planning on getting back into shape want to get back into martial arts again so im building up slowly with my fitness and i could do with losing a few pounds but my main problem is i cannot stop eating at all! its like theres a black hole in my stomach i just cant get full. anyone got any ideas on how to deal with this?
Any help or replies would be appreciated! Thanks

Stock up on protein/fats, limit the carbs to 80-120g a day. Will keep you more satisfied and you'll consume less calories in the process.

No i have no idea what she's saying either. It's worse in person. :P


OP, have you considered rolling with it and starting some strength training?

Get more protein/good fats/fish oils in, reduce the carbs/junk and get training and you'll be back knocking people about the mats in no time

If espresso doesn't make you edgy then you're making it wrong.

OP, eat lots of fibrous veg, that'll fill you up without excess calories.

L has a point though, ride that appetite and do some strength training.

surely it can't be the worst suggestion for an appetite suppressant?

Deadly Combination

ya drink as much alcohol as you can this should stop your eating habit

Why would you want to suppress your appetite when you can satisfy it instead? Eat a head of broccoli and tell me you're not full. It's 89% water and has roughly 34Kcal/100g. Perfect for filling you up.

id prefer to be chubby and eat protein bars than the ripped dude who parps a lot.

some of the replies here, its like AH gone wrong:D:pac: OP, its pretty normal to be hungry like that after quitting.. I wouldnt worry tbh, accept that you will gain a bit of weight.. give it a month and then get a grip on diet, the worst of the cravings will be over then!
