Exercise?

[ShaulWolf]

Since I've started snusing I've been able to run faster and longer since I haven't felt any inclination to smoke. My PFT with the Marines went from a 250/300 up to a 275/300, which isn't exactly an easy task. Take that, flawed study! Hah! xD

I'm still new to snusing, been doing it about a month and a half, I've noticed absolutely no difference in my workout routine. I do Army physical training 3x a week and hit the gym once or twice on top of that. If anything, I have more energy now than I did before. No change in weight whatsoever.

i ate a powerbar for breakfast, can of tuna for lunch with 5 saltines, a baked potato or 6 inch sub (only turkey or chicken mainly veggies no cheese) for dinner. cut waaaay back on meat and salt. a whole day of my eating would be a normal joe's meal. after my stomach shrunk up a bit I'd go a day of no eating at all. it gets to where you get a blast of energy from your food that you can feel. I started with 7 crunches a day because I was too fat to do anymore. That progressed to 100 in about 6 weeks. Did them every other day.

started feeling better and upped the exercise to walking almost every night, punching bags, push ups. I did like we did in the army..hard day easy day hard day easy day..nothing on sunday. every 3 weeks i'd go by a star crunch or a big choco chip cookie from the mail. it would give me mad runs. I was fat enough I could get away with this as long as I stayed well hydrated and multi vitamined.

I run around 10km per day (not jogging speed, faster) and 200-300 pushups and 200-300 situps.

But I haven't been fat ever tho, snus haven't changed it.

I don't exercise much. I only do cardio and 30-50 sit ups every morning and I watch what I eat. I have been snusing for around 6months now and my doctor says that I'm in good shape; not obese.

Re: Exercise?

After seeing a crazy headline on Google that said snus makes you fat I wondered what the exercise habits of snusers was.

It's GOT to be total BS! How I WISH I could gain weight. I speed-walk up and down a local mountain every other day (the last third of which is a 45 degree angle up), and lift free weights on alternate days. I load up on caffeine (3-4 diets sodas plus 3/4 pot of coffee), then load up on nicotine via snus prior to my workouts. I eat poultry as my primary source of protein, with complex carbs (beans, sweet potatos, carrots, etc & oatmeal at breakfast) as my primary form of carbs and almost NO simple carbs and most definitely no sugar.

My weight has plateaued at 193 lbs on a 6' 2" frame and I CAN NOT gain any more mass, although I have spoken with a personal trainer who swears he can get me to 215 lbs. I think he is a damn lie, but will be working with him after Xmas just to see. I did get down to 170 lbs and 12.5% body fat two years ago, but how hard is that if you restrict carbs to 20 grams per day? I was still smoking at that point in time.

How I WISH snus would help me gain weight.

Pretty lame study, I bet you'll see a lot of the men with high blood pressure and tobacco use also using alcohol. Maybe even not working out. Must be a guarantee that snus makes you fat. Could not possibly be that fat people make decisions based on enjoyment and not health.

In the army I had a similar routine. A minimum of 4-6 mile run each morning, followed by different variations of doing a trillion push ups/pull-ups/lunges etc.
Only day we didn't do that was on thursday's where we had unnecessarily long (up to 20k) ruck marches with 70+lbs in our pack, through usually moist sand.

It sucks getting trashed and having to wake up at 5 am to do this. But that's why I refuse to do any type of exercise now that i'm out lol. It's been 10 months without exercise, and I picked up snusing, and I havn't gotten fat. This article is rediculous and couldn't be further from the truth.

BTW: Snus seems to curb my apetite, anyone else have this?

There is no science behind those claims...

Like others have said nicotine increases your metabolism / curbs appetite

As for blood pressure, it could be an issue if you are ALREADY at risk for high blood pressure...

In fact I just had a checkup today and had my BP taken with a general white under my lip - Blood pressure looks good was the physicians reply

Keeping slim only requires about 2000 extra steps per day- Google it

I walk (sometimes jog) 2000 extra steps per day and have never been healthier...
