How do u keep weight off after quit smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise, good diet: Not everyone gains weight after quitting smoking but many gain 5-10 pounds (but the benefits of not smoking far outweigh the problems from increased weight). Exercising and making wise food choices can prevent this. See http://health.Howstuffworks.Com/wellness/smoking-cessation/avoid-weight-gain-when-you-quit-smoking.Htm for more info.
