I am 34 years old and quit smoking 7 months ago. I have always been petite and been able to eat whatever I want without any weight issues. Growing up I was a professional dancer but have not really done any physical exercise in the past 15 years.
5 months ago I put on 10lbs. For a 5 tall person that is A LOT and I no longer fit in any of my clothes. Determined to be healthy and not revert back to smoking I began doing Kettlebell and CrossFit workouts 4-5 times a week and have drastically change my eating habits (I follow the Zone diet).
I continue to GAIN weight. I am up another 5 pounds and it is not muscle as my clothes do not fit any better. I am increasing my cardio to 4 times a week (Spin for 45Min’s) and keeping my calories to 1200 but have no results.
Any suggestions would be most helpful!
No , I do not snack a lot .

ok you quit smoking that is a MAJOR set back your metabolisim will slow down doc told me that. when i quit and i gained weight, everytime you light up it brings your metabolisim up and your heart rate up sounds kinda good lol but not worth the cancer, you need to eat more than 1200 calories eat 1500 that will make a huge difference because you put yourself in starvation mode be only consuming 1200 then whatever you eat goes straight to fat cells to be stored cause your body thinks your starving it, keep the exercise up tho!!
I hate to tell you but you but you put your body into starvation mode.
When you drastically cut your diet and start a exercise routine our body goes into starvation mode. It does what ever it can to save off weight loss.
bring your calories to about 1500-1800, Cardio to 45 minutes daily, and any other exercise to 2-3 times a week.
For week and then see how much you weigh its amazing what.
