[QUOTE=toning_up] I still think doing it in conjunction with a low carb diet has enhanced its effects and made it easier, but I have no evidence to support that other than a hunch. QUOTE]

I certainly feel like I have more control since I've been low-carbing- which may help my endeavor to quit smoking too. I really want (need) to quit, so I'm willing to try anything.

I quit for 4 months using Zyban and the patch together, but I tried the gum a month or so ago and it didn't work so well (probably because I could still have a smoke if I wanted and you can't do that with a patch on). I didn't want to go back on Zyban again and thought I'd try a more natural approach.

Wish me luck! I'm starting tomorrow, 2/23!
