Here’s your plan of action:

Phase 1: Give yourself two months to get your body ready. During this time, we’ll cut down on coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate to improve your energy levels, introduce a diet rich in slow-releasing carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and protein-rich foods to help stabilise your blood sugar and hormone levels.
We’ll tailor a supplement programme consisting of a good multi vitamin and mineral, vitamin C, chromium and B3 to help reduce cravings, calcium and magnesium, and 5HTP to boost serotonin levels (controls mood) in the brain when you actually quit. The doses are set according to your individual needs. Already during this initial phase, you will notice your cravings for a cigarette diminishing.

Phase 2: You probably have habits around your smoking: lighting up first thing in the morning, after breakfast, when chatting on the phone, with a glass of wine… breaking these associated habits helps you give up smoking. For one week, keep a diary recording every situation in which you smoke. Then, on a fortnightly basis, smoke as much as you want to but not first thing in the morning. For the next 14 days, smoke as much as you want but not first thing in the morning nor within 30 minutes of finishing breakfast. And so on until you’re smoking without the habits. >>>
