J San 1,071 Posted August 29, 2018 Keep doing what your doing but completely cut out carbs. You can do it for 15 days, it might be tough but think of the reason and stay strong. Use sugar free icepops and sugar free Jello to curb your appetite if you get really hungry and LOTS of Water. If you need help or encouragement just ask here and you'll get it for sure. Good luck you got this!! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odds are they won't deny you for weight gain due to quitting smoking. It's a side effect that's pretty much a guarantee. Cut all added sugars, cut all extra carbs (every veggie has carbs, avoid bread really) Start drinking ONLY Water and get in upwards of 128oz a day. All of this will help you shed weight. But, stress makes you gain, so... stop stressing! If they deny, you can appeal. But until they do actually deny you... worrying about it is just a waste of energy.
