Can you go on a nicotine diet?

Answer 1

I'm not promoting anything here, but in the simplest terms, you can technically lose weight from any kind of diet (healthy or unhealthy)

nicotine causes fat molecules to be broken down in the body, thus causing the body to feel full, say after a cigarette, even when you have not eaten. The breakdown of fat molecules is also what can help with weight loss.

The problem here (besides the obvious) though, is that once you decide to stop with the "nicotine-diet," your body will be so stressed from the starvation that it will turn any food you do eat into fat right away. This is because you were in fact starving yourself before, and your body uses the times you do eat food to prepare for another period of starvation in case it happens. This is why no diet alone works unless you are able to stick with the same eating habits forever. Not healthy at all.

Limiting bad foods and promoting active living are the two best ways to stay fit. But if you're crashing for an event in the near future, and you want to quickly shed a few pounds, cigarettes will help. And I only say this objectively. I'm not going to lecture on the health issues involved with smoking, everyone knows them (and I'm a smoker myself). Hope this answer helps.
