There is a connection and it can be found in the Protein Power FAQ - the readers digest version is that cesation of smoking leads to improved insulin sensitivity.
Thanks for that link, Nat....I NEEDED to read that this morning.
I felt it was true...I was able to go about 2 weeks completely smoke free...and I LOST a little weight, too...but then, tensions crept in and I've had about 3 in the past two days...
All is not lost...I really want to get back on the wagon, and be smoke free...I felt better immediately...
Today is a big picnic with swimming, softball and volleyball...followed by a great dinner with great (prime rib!) low carb goodies....so...wish me luck...I really want to get back on the balll...I was feeling sooo good.
My Bday is on Tuesday. I think I will try again, starting afresh right after my bday. I cant cheat even if I wanted to due to a job medical,,, so what the heck,,, cant eat,, might as well not smoke!
