Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I stopped smoking 4 months ago and have put on 2 stones in weight. I am not overeating, and take a little excercise each day I also am extremely tired from the moment I get up even although I have had 8 hours sleep. I have no energy and feel emotionless
I am aged 48 and have a clear medical history
Tobacco use is the greatest potentially remedial problem throughout the world, and it is the number 1 preventable cause of death in the developed world. Patients who quit smoking tend to gain weight; therefore, you should follow a low-calorie diet and exercise regimen during and after cessation. Exercise has been shown to help curb long-term weight gain and to help alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
I encourage to continue with intensive exercises every day.Also go out with friends that you trust and make you happy.
Hope this information is helpful to you Best regards
