Everyone knows the grim statistics on smoking. So what's your excuse for not quitting? If you are like millions of Americans, the prospect or fear of gaining weight after quitting may be the major factor. If so, this book can help you change your life.
Quitting smoking is the single most important step you can take for the sake of your health, but going on a diet to control your weight after you have quit is one of the worst things you can do! Research shows that dieting can increase both your craving for cigarettes and the addictive properties of nicotine— while not addressing the metabolic changes that can cause post-smoking weight gain.
In How To Quit Smoking Without Gaining Weight, Martin Katahn presents a safe, simple program based on the latest scientific research in metabolism, biochemistry, and smoking cessation.
No matter how often you have tried and failed, this special program is an invaluable tool to help you quit smoking once and for all.

Have you ever tried to give up smoking? Most smokers have. It is
even more difficult to avoid relapse - after days, weeks or even
years - and the long-term results of many stop smoking programmes
are disappointing. But this week-long programme can help you stop
smoking for good. Professor David F Marks uses techniques from
cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which has been proven to be
effective by teaching you how to 're-program' your mind to not want
to smoke. You will no longer have to rely on willpower alone to
give up smoking. By becoming aware of your smoking triggers and
dealing with the thoughts and behaviours that lead you to smoke
automatically, over the course of a week you will gradually find
your cravings disappear altogether. You will learn: * Exercises and
strategies to help you regain control from your smoking automatic
pilot * Advice on relaxation and stress reduction * How to avoid
future relapses * Why alternative approaches such nicotine
replacement therapy or e-cigarettes are less effective * Tips on
healthy eating and exercise to manage weight Stop Smoking Now will
help you not only give up your habit, but help you to remain a
non-smoker for life. Overcoming self-help guides use clinically
proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions,
both psychological and physical. Many guides in the Overcoming
series are recommended under the Reading Well Books on Prescription
scheme. Series Editor: Professor Peter Cooper
Dr Max Pemberton used to describe himself as 'in love with
smoking'. Ironically, he was doctor specialised in addiction but
found it impossible to quit - until he found CBT. Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy is now widely recognised as the most effective
treatment for overcoming addicting. Stop Smoking with CBT draws
explicitly on this set of mind-training tools to help you stop
smoking once and for all. Dr Pemberton guides you through the
process of quitting through his addiction expertise and his
experience as a smoker wanting to quit, and helps you avoid the
common pitfalls that new ex-smokers encounter. His method will: -
Stop nicotine cravings - Transform how you think about smoking -
Make your desire to smoke simply melt away With Dr Pemberton's
proven approach, you won't worry about gaining weight or staying
calm without cigarettes. You will train your brain to live without
smoking once and for all. Most importantly, you'll discover that
stopping smoking is one of the most exciting and exhilarating
things that you can do! Dr Max Pemberton has spent many years
working with people to overcome addiction. He's also a bestselling
author of Trust Me, I'm a Junior Doctor and a prolific writer in
the areas of healthcare, ethics, culture and the NHS, with a
regular column in The Daily Mail.
