Quitting Smoking on Keto Diet

Hi All,

I am new to the forum. I have been reading up on the some of the topic and its helped me a lot with my current goals. Just some back ground on me.

I was way over weight about 12 weeks ago so I decided I needed to do something. I started following the keto diet and by week three combined it with CYT 3 stack. In total I have lost just over 30 Kg's in 12 weeks.

Yesterday I started a ECA stack, and no sides has been experienced. I am also a smoker so not sure if that the reason for no sides? I just have a couple of questions and any help would be appritiated!!

I am currently thinking about quitting smoking, what effect will this have on my current results while on Keto? I have read that it reduces calories burned by almost 200 a day so there will surely be a impact on my keto results?

Thanks for the awesome form and information shared. Much Appritiated.

Hi Oberholzer

Congrats on the weight loss. As for giving up smoking i dont think it will have much to do with extra weight loss to be honest. If you are really worried about those extra 200 calories just add in a hiit session once or twice a week. But giving up the habit will really help, I feel much better now that i have stopped smoking and it didnt effect my results at all.

Thanks for the feedback!!!, I heard that a HIIT secion can become dangerous when combined with a ECA stack due to the elevated heart rate. Do you know if there is any truth in this?

CYT3 only ? burning muscle ...if u can give up without eating extra to take its place ?

Hi Mike,

I read about the CYT 3 burning muscle, that's why I went to Keto to ensure I have enough proteins in the body so minimal muscle would be lost. At the moment with the Keto combined with the ECA stack my appetite has gone down to it almost being punishment to eat. So I believe I would be able to stop smoking without increasing / changing eating habits.

Stop smoking is always a great idea, but you might crave and turn to food - this happens a lot after people stop smoking they get fat

So as long as you do not go back to bad eating habits - kick it

T3 is a drug that burns muscle and fat ...Keto / protein want do much to stop ...also 12 weeks on keto u will need a carb up and if u are not eating u are going to continue loosing muscle..
whats your B/F % like

I was on Keto for 6 week, then went over to low cal for 4 weeks and now back on keto for about two and a half weeks. Not sure about my BF%, I only joined the gym last week Thursday. Will get the numbers and let you know.

yeah sorry i forgot about ur eca stack, but being on the stack will already help a lot so dont worry about how giving up smoking will effect your results . How do you feel on the keto i hate it i need carbs.

Energy in the first week is a issue but when the kidneys kicks in with the ketones I'm good.

Good on you for taking such a big step keep it up!

Don't believe everything you read. To stop smoking is the easiest thing in the world.

That sounds like experience talking.... minds made up. Me quitting. .. Thanks for all the kind words and feedback. Will keep you posted.

Smoked a packet and a half a day for 7 years. No bullshit. Weekends were two packets a day.

Big ups Bro. I need to up my stamina and fitness. Doing the 94.7 in November.

Shot bro! Smoking is definately not going to help you in the 94.7. Are you Darren Simpson by any chance?

Morning Guys, Nope. I talk way more crap then he does and if he loses 30 kg's he'd fall through his own ass.
