Hiya Jo,

I quit smoking 5 month ago..just a few month after I started Low Carbing. Yes I did slow down with weight loss from 6 pounds a month to 1 pound a month.....but......

This link..given to me from another low carber t the time because I was just wondering the same thing you are and this Website made me stop smoking the same day and I did not regret it.

Most people gain 30 pounds and I lost 6 pounds since I quit smoking and I gained this:

I am a non-smoker for: 5 Months 1 Week 3 Days 3 Hours 17 Minutes 5 Seconds
Cigarettes not smoked: 2094
Money saved: C$759.36
Life saved: 2 Wks 13 Hrs 7 Mins 47 Secs

I smoked for 27 years and quit once 18 years ago for 2 years. I gained 60 pounds at the time and started smoking again. This time I found it easier to quit because on low carb you can eat food...so whenever I had a craving I had a big glass of water and some protein.

I wish you much luck..you can do it. It feels great not to be hooked anymore.
