Me and my teacher

A review of my blog so far

I was very fat－ 106 kilogram, but I have fixed this problem: I am 86 kilograms now.

In my blog, I share my experience of losing weight and good articles matching my experience. I, a successful dieter, recommend you all the methods I have already practiced for one and a half years. I do three things a day: I have banana diet and tomato soup: the former, breakfast; the latter, dinner; I drink lots of water－2000CC; I also exercise thirty minutes every day. Having lots of vegetables and fruits, less carbohydrate and no alcohol is a good way. I think the motivation of exercise is very important. Doing interesting exercises like WII makes me feel no pain but fun. Just remember not to practice any strange diet methods hurting your health, such as cigarette diet. Now I am very proud to name myself Andre the Light Keeper because I keep myself light.

You can control your weight as you quit smoking

People use different ways to cut weights. Some of the ways are good, but some of them are weird. Have you ever heard that smoking diet? I think it is a stupid act because once you begin to smoke you will addict to cigarettes─quit smoking difficulty, and gain more weight quickly when you try to quit it, and get lung cancers easily. Trust me that I was a smoker before and I gained about 20 kilograms when I unwillingly quitted─I was in a coma, and I was disabled later, and I can reach no cigarettes any more─the cigarettes. Now I am healthy, fit without bad habits

You can control your weight as you quit smoking

I have found a good article on

Here is the summary of this article: You can control your weight as you quit smoking

Many ex-smokers do gain weights; some, a few pounds, but only a few, lot of weight.Quitting smoking is much more important than gaining a few pounds. Just some simple changes, like developing healthier eating and physical activity habits can help you control your weight when you quit smoking. Averagely, people quitting smoking gain only about 10 pounds if you have smoked for 10 to 20 years or smoked one or more packs of cigarettes a day.

The reasons of gaining weight are: when nicotine, a chemical in cigarette smoke, is in your body that causes you have low or no appetite for food; therefore, when you quit smoking your body turn back to normal and back to the weight you would have been had. During first week after quitting, you might gain 3 to 5 pounds due to water retention. After you stop smoking, you may burn less calories than when you were smoking.

Smoking causes more than 400,000 deaths each year in the United States. When you smoke the heart rate increases, and about 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke pollute environment around you, and 40 of these chemicals cause cancer─high risk to get lung cancers.

Here is some data:

Men are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer, women, 12. Smokers are twice as likely to have a heart attack as a nonsmoker. Smoking cigarettes are hurting not only smokers’ health, but also the health of anyone who breathes the smoke─smokers or nonsmokers. The smoke could cause heart disease and stroke, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, lung cancers and some types of cancer.

You can control your weight as you quit smoking

Here is some advice: to avoid gaining weight when you quit smoking, you need to do physical activities to burn your increasing calories, changes your eating habits to control the total amount of calories you input. In one study, women who stopped smoking and added 45 minutes of walking a day gained less than 3 pounds. Besides controlling weight, exercise can increase energy, promote self-confidence, improve your health, relieve the stress and depression caused by the lack of nicotine in your body. Try to do at least 30 minutes of physical activities a day on most days of the week, such as gardening, housework, mowing the lawn, playing actively with children, taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Try to gradually improve your eating habits. Eating a variety of foods from each group in the Food Guide Pyramid each day.
Think before you act, friends. Choose a healthy, safe, effective way to keep you healthy and lose your weight.
