How long did it take to get the extra pounds off?

When does your metabolism slow down after quitting smoking?

Normally the doctor doesn’t prescribe adipex, but I am not wanting to gain weight from quiting smoking. I have a history of an eating disorder which is under control, but I don’t want to gain weight. I’m trying to do something good for myself by quitting smoking. I just want to be safe. I keep reading dangerous side effects of adipex and wanted to know if I would be ok taking it. Will this medicine make me lose weight or prevent me from gaining weight?

I’ve tried the gum, but a) It burns my mouth and tastes bad and b) it didn’t really do much for my cravings.
I’ve heard about pill and patches, cold turkey, etc…
These are some questions for people who maybe had trouble qutting, but eventually got it done.
How did you quit?
Did you try a bunch of methods?
Which worked best?
How long did it take?
Did you notice any weight gain?
Thanks!

I don’t know that I can maintain both my weight and not smoking at the same time. But, I don’t want to gain very much as an adverse side effect, either. Suggestions? Thank you.

I heard from someone that one of the side effects would be minor weight gain, even if you eat right. Anyone know if this is true?

I quit smoking on 10-18-07, but have been gaining a little bit of weight since. I obviously know physical activity helps, I’ve never been VERY active, but I’m by no means fat. I just want to know some easy ways to stop the weight gain associated with not smoking, it seems like I find myself eating a lot more now. Thanks
