(More customer reviews)Are you smoking to avoid weight gain? If so, you are not alone. Forty percent of female smokers found do so as a way to manage their weight--25% would like to stop smoking but continue to do so because of fear of weight gain. In addition, 55% of female smokers report that they have little to no confidence that weight control is possible without the use of nicotine.
This book challenges conventional beliefs about smoking and weight, and is packed full of strategies for preparing to leave cigarettes in your past. The truth is, there may be a small initial rise in weight in the months immediately after quitting smoking, but in the long run, ex-smokers have NOT been proven to gain weight after quitting.
The authors of this book have created a series of self-assessments to evaluate your "smoking personality", or root reasons nicotine consumption can be a positive behavior. Is it habit? Or biochemistry? Each possibility will need a different approach. Once you know, you can use one of the many strategies provided to reduce the need for nicotine and greatly improve the chances of permanent success at quitting.
In my experience, understanding the cause for a behavior is always the starting point for changing that behavior; Donkersloot and Ferry do an outstanding job of building the foundation for kicking one of the most potent addictions known to man. And they don't stop there! The second half of the book is menus, recipes, and step-by-step strategies, so detailed and practical that if you REALLY want to quit, there is something for everyone who reads this book. There is nothing else like it currently available, which is why I highly recommend it as a must read.
