I wasn't quite sure where to post this thread so I may repeat in other forums..
Anywho, I have been reading into how cigarettes effect the hormones. I know typically all NBE products recommend staying away from nicotine and caffeine. But I wasn't sure why other than both can make you have trouble keeping your weight up. Both have a tendency to either curb your appetite or change the way your body holds on to calories.
However it seems through my research that cigarettes also have a negative effect on the endocrine system. Causing cortisol levels to be out of wack and exhausting your adrenal glands. Which then can lead to other sex hormone imbalances. Cigs basically put your body in a constant state of stress..
What I am wanting to know is if any habitual smokers (1/2 pack a day or more) have gotten good results through NBE.
I am a pack a day smoker, and have tried many NBE methods. Including a good PM program for 5 months and have gotten 0 results. I am about to start on a semi complicated BO program when my cleanse is done. I am trying to find out if the whole thing will be useless if I can't quit smoking.
Please please don't lecture me. I have tried MANY times to quit and will try again. But for right now I would love to see some responses from smokers on their progress/ results if any.
Sorry to be a rambler!
Happy growing!!

Hello!

I'm sorry you haven't been getting much results. But I wouldn't worry TOO much about the smoking. I'm a full time smoker, and have been for ten years. I smoke almost a full pack a day, and I've been on my program for a little over four months.
I have gotten results (I've filled out and I would say I'm nearly double in size).
I have been able to see results despite the fact that I'm a smoker, I am Underweight (95lbs, bmi of under 18%) and have been going through bouts of anxiety due to stress (for about three months now)

So I've been getting results even though I'm working with variables that would normally hinder Nbe


So there is hope for you darling. Just keep your hopes up, and stay positive! The power of your mind can do wonderful things!
