What effect does quitting smoking have on the metabolism?
When a person stops using drugs and stimulants, the body becomes so relaxed, the metabolism slows down. At this point, if the person has poor eating patterns or habits, this is the formula for rapid weight gain to the “tune” of 20, 30, to 50+ pounds!
But weight gain totally depends on your mindset and/or food choices. If you fill that empty void with nutritious foods, you can actually lose weight while you stop smoking!
During our smoking cessation program, we teach methods and combine tools to prevent weight gain. Often clients lose 1 to 3 pounds during their first week of smoking cessation (if they are already overweight).
Since 1992, our program has specialized in helping people stop smoking and lose weight at the same time. When you call, I will ask you some questions and decide how fast I think we can help you drop those unwanted pounds. If I feel we can help you, I will commit to you and we can get started right away. The most weight-loss we have witnessed with our program is 28 pounds in one month and 51 pounds in 7 weeks. This is based on our treatment protocol for rapid drug detox.
Our theory is: If you detox the body rapidly and start feeling better right away, you are immediately rewarded with more energy and are more likely to adopt this pattern of eating as a lifestyle change.
What if I’m not a smoker/quitting smoking? Can your treatment still help me improve my metabolism and/or lose weight?
Absolutely! Many food related illnesses are sugar related… or related to foods that easily and quickly convert to sugar. The body becomes addicted to these processed foods and begins shutting down after a few decades. The person feels weak and sickly, asks their medical professional for medications and over time, becomes heavily dependent on large doses of medications.
In America, many children choose their own foods at an early age. A poor diet can cause ADHD, irritability, anxiety, lethargy, obesity, depression, trouble with concentration, and a feeling of lack of purpose. A few illnesses that can result from poor lifetime eating habits are:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- High Cholesterol
- Strokes
- Lupus
- Heart Attacks
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Hypoglycemia
- Hypothyroidism
- and many more…
The quick, easy (“band-aid”) answer is medication… it becomes a substitute for proper nutrition. Outcome: addiction.
Our electrical stimulation treatment blocks the cravings for sugar and other drugs, resets your appetite control signal, helps the body detox faster, and thus, increases the body’s metabolism.
We will teach you how to choose foods and control portions, to develop a diet that will boost your immune system, prevent cancer, reverse heart disease (and many other food related diseases), and lose weight faster. Within 1 to 3 days, you will begin to lose weight and feel the energy from your new way of eating. Within 3 weeks, your blood composition will begin to change.
