ok...so i know nic speeds up your metabolism, but I'm actually more hungry than I was on it. Like A LOt more...any one else have this?
Increased appetite is pretty common. Your body knows it is missing something it's used to, and since you are denying it the nic (nice work!), it will take food instead. At least that's how I felt. Also, for me, dipping was the first thing I did after EVERYTHING I ever ate, so my body was conditioned to think that a dip signaled the end of a meal. With no signal, my body would want me to just keep eating.
You will break these cycles in due time, but for now, do whatever it takes to keep from dipping - eat, fake dip, seeds, gum, excercise, whatever. Don't recommend alcohol because that has been present for many a cave. If you want to up your excercise or try to control your appetite to manage weight and avoid gain, great. But remember, QUITTING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL DO TODAY, so do what it takes to protect your quit.
Keep up the good work!
