Stop Smoking Diet New Pill – How Dieting Can Help You Quit Smoking

I would have been the first person to declare that it is impossible to quit smoking with the aid of a diet until I actually saw it happen before my very eyes. My brother and I had been smoking cigarettes since we were teenagers, and we had both sworn them off since ten years ago. It took me five years to stop smoking, but he could not even then. It was much longer afterward that after speaking with a couple of psychologists and psychiatrists that my brother finally got the perfect answer to how he was going to quit smoking – diet.

Ok, he heard it from a doctor somewhere that if smoking cessation could not be attained by regular drugs and stop smoking treatments in the clinic, the only other possible route was through alternate medicine. He offered my brother hypnotism as a way to quit smoking, but my brother declined; and then he suggested smoking cessation by acupuncture, but Harry has always had a thing about needles. Finally, the physician said he was not sure about how effective this other treatment for quitting smoking might be, but could my brother try seeing a dietician about it?

My brother thought it had to be a joke; even I thought it had to be a joke. Except that we had nothing to lose – every other attempt to break the smoking habit had failed for Harry, and he was desperate – so we decided to give it a shot anyway. We called the number on the card and booked an appointment. And we did learn, boy did we learn!

As it turns out, body alkalinity has an effect on nicotine cravings. When your system has a low alkaline level, you will find it harder to resist the urge to smoke, and end up being stuck on the cigarette. The dietician ordered us on something of an acidosis diet with a rigid regimen of proteins and fat, while starch and sugar were to be greatly reduced. We also had to take a magnesium diet that consisted of valerian and wild lettuce. The dietician warned us to be careful on the diet; we could stay on it for only two weeks at a time before we absolutely had to get back to eating normally. He said the body could only take that much acidity or alkalinity at once without shutting down.

“Didn’t think it would work”, I must confess, I was the one who told Harry he should ditch the diet; but he wanted to be like me so much that he did it. So I moved in with him for a couple of months and joined him on the stop smoking program. “Didn’t think it would work”, I say again, but he was determined to stay on the diet; and so he did. Harry also made conscious effort to not buy any packs of cigarette for as long as he could help it. It was four months later before we realized that Harry had not smoked since the first month.

Increased alkalinity in the body system equals reduced thirst or yearning for nicotine, is what the dietician said, but I’ll never know if it was not the fact that we were together, our focus on sticking to the tenements of the diet, or simply willpower that was eventually able to help Harry stop smoking. We do know though that we stayed with the diet for another six months before I first ditched it, and then Harry did. He never smoked again since.

There are many ways to stop smoking; for Harry, it turns out it was the diet that helped.
