Weight gain with quitting

[traderblue]

BTW I'm only 21, so my metabolism probably makes it a little easier for me to gain muscle instead of fat.

You are a very young vaper.

Now that I'm vaping, I can exercise much more efficiently. I think my weight has stayed about the same these 3 months.

I gained weight only after I starting to vape zero nic. Guess like nicotine indeed increased metabolism rate and 'tricked' the mind of feeling not hungry. No wonder most smoker are skinny and scaly. While vaping non-zero nic , I in-fact lost weight. ..Nowadays, I exercise more to compensate for the 'lost' in metabolism rate, and also due to better respiratory-system since analog-free.

When I first started vaping juice with nic I certainly had more of an appetite but after switching to zero nic juice for a few weeks my appetite is basically non existent, I get cravings for food but it seems just like a nic craving at the moment so i'm kinda hoping things fix themselves up.

But anyway weight wise things are in the balance. Neither put on or off.

I quit last April, I vape 24mg and have gained 15lbs. I don't eat more than I did when I smoked, eat healthy and work out at a gym. Still can not get the lbs off. I rationalize it with the fact that I'm healthier so I try not to worry about it.. but it is frustrating.

I'm having more trouble loosing then usual after the post holiday gain, but no gain since I switched to vaping. I think if I found some motivation/sunshine It'd be easier.

I'm going on day 5 from being a pack a day smoker and so far I've actually lost my appetite. I don't have any scales, but I'm pretty sure I've lost weight.

Haven't felt the need to weight myself but my clothes don't fit any different, so that's always good.
Last year I was losing weight no matter what I ate and was smoking more and enjoying it less. So when I was down 85 lbs in less than 3 months I decided to go to the doctor. I found out that I was a diabetic. I cut back to less than a pack a day, lost another 15 lbs, and then started with the e-cig and I've been a happy camper every since.
My lung capacity has increased so much between the weight loss and not smoking, now if only the warmer weather would get here so I can start walking again everything would be peachy. Winter always depresses me.
I've been off cigarettes for over a month now and haven't noticed a weight gain, maybe a drop of a couple of pounds but don't know for sure.

I didn't gain any weight after I started vaping, pretty much stay the same... after a couple of months when I started feeling better and becoming more active I've lost 15lbs since, in the last 4 months

Not bump this up late, but I think there will be notably different answers depending on the seasons. In winter, it is not uncommon for even fit folks to put on a few. Spring, its pretty common for everyone to begin shedding.

I actually came across this trying to see if any water retention or anything closely related was experienced by those vaping.

Anyway, theorybabble aside, I've been about the same, actually losing weight as I find it harder to enjoy what I remember as my favorite beers with vape. And that depresses me like mad. I have to relearn tastes? What a rip off!

Yeah some people may gain weight if they quit smoking but it depends upon every individuals health condition. So if you feel that you gain weight after quit smoking then it seriously affects your health in future. To be without gaining weight you can follow your diets.
