When you are trying to quit smoking you have to be aware of the steps you need to take in order to avoid weight gain.
Many people experience weight gain within the first month of quitting.
In this article I will reveal several tips which will help you quit this unhealthy habit without gaining any extra pounds.

1. Don't try any harsh diets.
   This is probably the worst time to try any crash diets.
   All you really have to do is eat a little bit healthier.
   Choose whole grains, lean protein, low fat dairy and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.
   
2. Buy healthy treats.
   Given that you will crave a snack every now and again, make sure that you buy low calorie treats (such as gum or hard candy).
   
3. Increase your intake of water.
   In order to reduce your appetite and help yourself feel full more often, make sure that you drink plenty of water.
   A tall glass of water before every meal will help you eat less.
   
4. Increase your intake of fiber.
   Fiber, similar to water, helps you feel full.
   Make sure that you eat plenty of fiber rich foods.
   
5. Exercise.
   Exercise will help you burn excess calories.
   However, aside from helping you burn excess calories, fitness is also a great distraction from food and cigarette cravings.
   
6. Speak with your doctor regarding any cessation aids.
   If you are having a hard time handling this situation on your own you can always speak with your doctor.
   

These are just some of the ways that you can quit smoking without gaining weight.
Aside from these tips you can also try the all natural herbal remedies such as the hoodia gordonii diet pill.
This weight loss aid can help reduce your urge to snack by suppressing your appetite.
