Casual Articles - How to Quit Smoking and not Gain Weight
There are hundreds of ways to make money using the internet and at the same time utilising your website to its maximum. Google Adsense is one product that is available. But is it the best for increasing your income?Like other big companies they are a law unto themselves and when you sign up with them you suddenly find yourself having to follow rules and regulations that just do not fit with your business.How does Google Adsense work? The concept is very smart and very simple. You allow ads for other people's products and services be allowed to be displayed on your website. If somebody clicks on the ad you may get money for it. Usually a couple of cents.There are some major flaws with this from a business point of view:- If you are a small to medium business that doesn't get thousands of people visiting a week you will be lucky if you get a few cents a week in your pocket making it pointless having the adds on your site.- When somebody clicks on an advertisers link the browser immediately opens in the advertisers site in the same window as your website. This is a major problem as your site is no longer available and you risk the loss of that potential customer coming back to your site.- When somebody clicks on a link you only get a couple of cents for that privilege from your site. If any sales are made to that adv
A daily moderate workout not only distracts you from smoking, but also helps reduce tension and stress. Endorphins released in the brain during exercise actually make you feel better. Exercise also increases metabolism, helping you burn more calories.
And .....here's a great fact from the New York Times:
'The good news is that the very fear of gaining weight is also the #1 deterrent to avoiding weight gain.
The great news is that studies show that at least 25% of all former smokers so fear weight-gain they actually LOSE weight once they've quit!'
Essential Summary
If you do not RUN AWAY FROM or try to NUMB your cravings to smoke by EATING, YOU WILL NOT GAIN WEIGHT when you quit smoking. FACT.
And even if you are one of those who may experience a slight weight gain of up to 5 pounds, due to metabolic changes- that is the easiest thing to remedy! FACT
Follow our simple advice - and you will not gain even an extra pound!
But the important thing to remember here is this:
It was the Old Way of giving up smoking that caused people to gain weight in the past.
It was the terrible idea that you must use Willpower to FORCE yourself not to smoke.
And the idea that you could use substitutes like food to BLOCK or to ESCAPE from these cravings.
But our approach to giving up smoking is the exact opposite.
We want you to FACE and WELCOME ALL the cravings you get when you stop.
We want you to TRANSFORM them. You now know that by allowing and opening to every feeling and desire WITHOUT judgment or resistance you can MAGICALLY transform how these feelings FEEL, moment-by-moment in your body.
They can actually be experienced as enjoyable sensations - and thus you will feel no compulsion to use food to escape from these cravings.
So why continue EVERY DAY to....CONGEST your lungs with cancerous tars. To CLUTTER up and POISON your b
All major corporations in every country all over the world are the ones which are labor-intensive. Due to the large number of employees and workers in such establishments, labor issues are rampant. The sad fact is that, it is also where most labor law violations are intensified.These corporations are so consumed with accumulating huge productions and high profit but fail to give necessary attention to the people who strive to attain such goals. Ironically, as corporations continue to become successful and profits skyrocket, they flagrantly forget to give due credit and recognition to their employees and workers who were the main force in achieving their success.Instead of receiving more employment benefit packages as reward for attaining high quota, employees find that their legal rights as workers, basically stipulated in state and federal labor laws are being violated. Instead of a higher income, they find themselves confronted with a scheme that pinched their salaries and long standing benefits.In order to take steps to correct such injustices, the employees themselves need to act on it. Instead of bearing with the unfair labor practices and labor law violations they encounter, they must fight back.An example of employee’s united stand against violation of labor laws had glowing results. In a recent ruling by a Philadelphia
And yet.....virtually all ARE wrong. If I asked you the question now, what would you say?
But before you answer, please read this article.......AND find out the real truth about smoking and weight gain........and THEN answer.
The Old Willpower Method
This is important. Get this clear in your mind.
When you stop smoking, it does not mean that you HAVE TO gain weight.
There are two parts to this problem and it is important that you understand BOTH of them.
First, I need to be honest with you......
Yes, in the past, people DID tend to gain weight when they gave up smoking.
But this was BECAUSE most people tried to give up smoking using the old Will-Power Method alone.
These people believed that when they gave up, they would feel terrible.
They were then told that the ONLY way to deal with these cravings was to endure them.........and hope that, with time and persistence, they would go away.
They were advised above all...... to use their Willpower and FORCE themselves not to smoke.
And......finally, they were told.... to eat snacks or nibble this or that - ANYTHING, in fact to keep them busy and their minds OFF smoking.
Why eat?
Because the feeling or the 'hunger' for a cigarette is very similar to the feeling you get when you are hungry.
And so, in the past, people ate in the terrible mistaken belief that by eating, they could satisfy their craving for a cigarette and that it would help them keep their minds off smoking.
But of course it didn't work.....
....And the MORE the feeling came back..... the MORE they ate in the belief it could help them.
'Your present is NOT dependent on your past'
So we all have to accept that there was some validity for people gaining weight in the past when they tried to quit.
But that need not be the cause today.
Remember the CAUSE was not giving up smoking but HOW these people went about the process of giving up smoking.
If you look closely at how they went about it, you'll see that....People ate TO NUMB their cravings.
Remember, when you give up smoking, you too will get these selfsame feeling/craving - 'I want a cigarette.'
And you will experience similar feelings when you realize that you cannot have one.
But unlike the old Willpower Method, you will not eat extra in order to ESCAPE or NUMB these feelings.
Why?
Because, as we explain in Our Course you will want to WELCOME and ACCEPT these feelings. You will WANT to transmute them.
These FEELINGS/CRAVINGS are NOW the KEY to your success.
Please underline this: The Old Way (Willpower method) was to hate and fear these cravings to smoke.
You were told you had a big fight on your hands, that these feelings would be unpleasant and overpowering.
And because the feeling you get when you want a cigarette is similar to how you feel when you are hungry, of course, you believed that by eating, you could satisfy these feelings or at least alleviate them.
But all you did was to temporarily block off these feelings.
By eating, you give yourself an excuse not to have to deal with and really feel these feelings.
You put off the evil day........and started to put on the pounds!
Never forget that when you give up smoking, you will CONTINUE to have these empty, restless, insecure cravings for the first two or three weeks.....
But now, for the first time in your life, LET yourself have these feelings, these empty sensations in your body. Actually feel them, moment-by-moment in your body.
CALL THEIR BLUFF!.
Sure, you will get the temptation to eat extra - to compensate - to 'fill' in the feelings you believe you are now lacking.
These desires are natural, normal.
They are not bad in themselves. And they are ONLY TEMPORARY.
Just feel them! Yes, it takes courage not to run away and try to escape by eating extra.
If you will just have patience and stay with these feelings, you will discover your moment of truth - that these cravings are no big deal and that you can easily handle them.
You don't have to eat to escape from them. (to find out more about this process, go to our free course at (http://www.quitsmokingonline.com/ )
Please underline:
The belief that you will automatically gain weight if you stop smoking is a myth.
However, there is one other issue we must deal with in regard to weight gain before we proceed.
This is the second part of the problem we mentioned earlier........
Increased metabolism?
Again and again, get this clear in your mind: Giving up smoking does not automatically have to lead to weight gain. And even the latest studies seem to confirm this.
In a large study in the UK involving over a thousand women quitting up smoking - no clear picture emerged.
Some women gained weight, others experienced no change whatsoever while other women actually LOST weight!
However, in regard to the women who gained weight - the average gain of between 5 to 10 pounds over a number of months was generally attributed to metabolic alterations i.e. the change in their metabolic rate.
Let's look at this carefully as a lot of people, especially women STILL use this as an excuse not to give up smoking.
The effects of smoking
To help us, let's try to understand the effects of smoking on your weight........
First of all, smoking DOES burn calories. Up to 200 a day if you are a heavy smoker. Thus smoking can increase your energy expenditure or metabolism.
What does this mean?
It means that when you quit smoking it can cause slight weight gain for certain individuals (unless we take appropriate action!) because their body begins to work more efficiently and their body's metabolism slows and food is digested more efficiently.
Is this bad news if it applies to you? No. it's not.
Please consider this.....
An average candy bar contains 300 calories. If you were to stick to your regular eating habits but eat just six fewer candy bars (or equivalent calories found in some other food item) per month, you could easily prevent yourself from gaining even a single pound. It's that easy!
All it means is that you'll have to learn how to , as Kristy Farley points out ........outsmart the pounds!
But first, get this clear in your mind again and again.
When you give up smoking and do not RUN AWAY FROM or try to NUMB your cravings by EATING, YOU WILL NOT GAIN WEIGHT when you stop smoking.
The only weight gain some of our readers should be aware of is a slight weight gain of up to 5 pounds due to the change in their metabolic rate.
However, you can EASILY even avoid that by taking the FOLLOWING SIMPLE ACTION.......
......Outsmart the Pounds!
To ward off gaining ANY extra pounds when you quit, follow these simple steps and improve your general health at the same time.
Remember, if you are a heavy smoker, smoking will burn up 200 calories a day so......
To burn an estimated 200 calories used by smoking, for example, walk briskly for 45 minutes or swim laps for 30 minutes each day.
Or eliminate 200 calories of food intake, and you've used up the extra calories from not smoking. What does that translate to?
2 lite beers (220 calories)
20 regular potato chips (220 calories)
4 chocolate sandwich cookies (213 calories)
2 tablespoon of butter (200 calories)
2 oz. of cheddar cheese (220 calories)
1 small order of McDonalds fries (210 calories)
1 hot dog and roll (250 calories)
2 frozen waffles (240 calories)
1/2 cup macaroni and cheese (205 calories)
One benefit of quitting, however is that as your body realizes the benefits of not smoking, your energy levels will increase, and you will begin to feel better physically.
A moderate increase in physical activity can keep weight gain to a minimum so.....Exercise daily.
A daily moderate workout not only distracts you from smoking, but also helps reduce tension and stress. Endorphins released in the brain during exercise actually make you feel better. Exercise also increases metabolism, helping you burn more calories.
And .....here's a great fact from the New York Times:

Teeth whitening requires that you follow a few steps so that you can reap the best results. Some of the steps can be taken care of at home since they concern personal improvement. However, others are related to your dental health history. So before you take teeth whitening, you should consider the following:*All cavities in your teeth should be treated prior to beginning teeth whitening. Otherwise, the cavities might get affected and become painful due to the chemicals used in teeth whitening.*If you have the problem of receding gums, get some medication. Otherwise, roots could get exposed and be harmed.*If you have crowns and veneers, you cannot undergo teeth whitening.Once you address the above dental health issues, you have come closer to beginning the teeth whitening procedure. Now you should take a few measures at home before you visit your dentist or do the teeth whitening at home itself.*Brushing your teeth is usually taken as a routine process. However, for those who are taking teeth whitening products or have undergone teeth whitening procedure, brushing is very important. Brush after every meal and do it thoroughly.*Floss at least twice a day. Flossing keeps the food you eat from building up and harming the roots. The problem of receding gums is caused due to the reaction from acids in foods that gets ac

Would you consider yourself a nice guy or a 'bad boy'?Well the answer to this question can mean all the difference when trying to attract a woman!What separates the two is their outlook on life and how to treat women. Because of this difference, the bad boy is the one who always seems to attract women and goes home with them.So what does the 'bad boy' do to attract a lot more woman?Well first off these guys have cultivated what is known as an 'Alpha Male' personality. When a guy has this type of attitude, he demonstrates a strong personality while giving off the appearance of not caring about succeeding with women.In short, they have a 'take it or leave it' type attitude!Before I talked about the major difference between the nice guy and bad boy. Whereas the bad boy has a strong personality, the nice guy is agreeable to everything a woman says.In essence the nice guy acts too boring and predictable.Now if you want to learn how to attract women from the moment you meet them, you have to learn how to cultivate the bad boy personality.But what if you're a nice guy at heart and don't know how to act this way?Well there is one technique you can use which doesn't require you to act like too much of a jerk. All you have do is use the disconnector technique. A disconne

We all are well aware of the fact that a walk is a must to keep a person fit and healthy. It is a good exercise for the young and the old. But do you know how excellent it is for couples? It is not only good for health reasons but also good for a healthy relationship. Have you ever given a thought to why do you have state parks, amusement parks or wild life parks in your state? Well they are maintained so that the public can have entrainment and feel the freshness of nature.When we work we are also entitled to some entertainment and relaxation. The couples should make take out time to be together and take a walk to a park. You could go to any type of park. You could go to a park near your apartment or a water park. The suggestion is to spend time together. You could take a long walk at a park hand in hand just to feel close to each other. Talk to each other about your feelings and emotions for each other. Have a light talk that relaxes you and fills you with happiness. If you feel like spending more time with each other and can afford to do that than you can make it a picnic spot for you.Remember it is leisure time so relax and sit comfortably. Sitting at home and spending time together is different from spending moments together at a park. At a park you experience instances that set up an example to live a life with reverence and understan
