But a diet doesn’t mean cutting out foods — in fact, limiting your food intake while trying to quit may increase your cigarette cravings. Instead, develop a nourishing plan that will help you get through those first rough months. Snacks are your friend — carry light snacks like pretzels, nuts, and fruits with you everywhere to keep your hands and mouth busy. Incorporate filling grains like whole-wheat pasta into your larger meals; fried and fatty foods will only add to the sluggishness you may be feeling. And when you do need some pep, say no to crave-triggering caffeine in soda and coffee and opt for tea or water instead. And remember, even if you do put on a few extra pounds during this time, the years you will add onto your life will make it well worth it! Sources: 1. Quitting Smoking- Help for …
