| nutritionjill |
A5: This was topic of my grad research. Most weight gain occurs immediately & ends after 6 months. 10# on average. #client #diabeteschat |
| laurenpincusrd |
A5: On average, people gain 10 lbs from quitting smoking due to increased food intake & decreased metabolism without nicotine. #diabeteschat |
| dietexpertnj |
A5: Stopping smoking itself will not lead to weight gain, but replacing smoking with food can #DiabetesChat #client |
| dietexpertnj |
A5: Work with a dietitian to help you manage food cravings & emotional eating to prevent wt gain #DiabetesChat #client |
| mahodorowicz |
#DiabetesChat Remember that Abe Lincoln ran for political office 12x and lost. 13th time was a BIG winner! KEEP TRYING! |
| laurenpincusrd |
Great advice 😉 #diabeteschat #client https://t.co/RGrvIYDpcL |
| maureensrn |
A-5 Same info found- possible weight gain after stopping smoking up to 10 pounds. #DiabetesChat |
| amypcampbell |
A5: You might gain a few pounds when you quit but you’ll gain way more in terms of health! #DiabetesChat |
| dietexpertnj |
Great point! Planning to cut 100 calories/day & walking 10min can cancel out these effects #DiabetesChat #client https://t.co/nPKQT5VpNb |
| maureensrn |
A-5 Weight gain often due to other lifestyle behaviors that were not changed along the way. #DiabetesChat |

| bridgettxrd |
Yes! It’s all about planning for any #behavior change #diabeteschat https://t.co/pRjUiLtSEm |
| mahodorowicz |
#DiabetesChat Some doctors recommend using each strength for 2 to 4 wks; with 3-step program, people stay on product only 6-12 wks |
| maureensrn |
A-5 Smokers can also journal to see what triggers “the need to smoke”and change those situations. #DiabetesChat |
| lorishemek |
A5. Without additional support such as gradual reduction support, excess eating is common and thus weight gain. #DiabetesChat |
