An information- and recipe-filled guide to maintaining or losing weight while kicking the habit.With the constant barrage of media focusing on tobacco company lawsuits and the myriad health hazards of smoking, everyone knows that lighting up is bad for you. But the anticipated difficulty of kicking the habit, coupled with fear of weight gain, makes many people put off quitting indefinitely. Now in The How to Quit Smoking and Not Gain Weight Cookbook, Mary Donkersloot offers instruction and encouragement, alleviating the challenges that prevent smokers from doing the right thing.The plan has three goals: controlling weight, stabilizing mood, and regaining health. Mary explains how nicotine withdrawal symptoms can be counteracted by consuming moderate amounts of certain foods, carbohydrates in particular, which raise seratonin levels in the brain, thus reducing the cravings. A month of flexible menus, complete with snacks, makes it easy to plan meals that will help ex-smokers stay ex-smokers, and lose weight besides. Advice on exercise, information on the connection between nicotine, food and mood, and over 125 simple and delicious recipes educate readers and make it easy to stay on course.This is an extremely timely book that offers concrete, practical recipes and information to help the millions of smokers get on the road to better health and a better body.
