ABOUT WEIGHT GAIN
WHILE QUITTING SMOKING

Many people complain that when they try to quit smoking, their weight balloons up quickly and they would rather smoke then have that happen. That is because they see only those two options; smoking with no weight gain, or weight gain with no smoking.

But it is not necessarily natural that one is linked to the other. The reason many people gain weight is because they sublimate food for smoking. The "hand to mouth" portion of their habit is still going strong, and the need to exercise that part becomes the driving reason that one will put food into one's mouth when the craving for a cigarette is present.

There is also a calming effect to eating. When one quits smoking "cold turkey", there is a tension experienced in the body. That tension is because the smoker has placed a second habit in conflict with the first. The first habit is to smoke. The second is to deny the first. So now, at the subconscious level, there is a battle going on. The two habits which are in resistance to each other take up a lot of the subconscious "RAM" of the brain, therefore leaving little left to concentrate on the daily rigors of normal life. People get testy, nervous, anxious, sometimes even depressed. So the tend to snack more than they would, and fill up more on meals. They also tend to gravitate toward sweets and less healthy foods, because they feel that since they are denying themselves the "pleasure" of smoking, they are entitled to something to replace that gratification. This is called deprivation compensation.

With the UltraQuit Program, since you may smoke every cigarette you truly feel the need for, you never resist that "craving urge" to smoke. Yes, you consider each cigarette, and whether that one is motivated from your nicotine addiction, which alone drives the craving, or if it is simply a habit cigarette, being smoked because that's when you've always done it in the past.

Also, since you will be taking the specially formulated nicotine replacement capsules four times per day, which coincides with the natural cycle of a nicotine addict's need for a "fix", the urge to smoke motivated by nicotine addiction is greatly diminished.

Since there is no sublimation with food, there is no extra weight gain with the UltraQuit System of smoking cessation.
