Anyone use vaping as a substitute for mindless snacking?

Last time I tried the low carb diet I lost a stone in a month then started exercising and lost another half a stone, but then all the naughty carb erges came back, but now I have a freezer stocked with fish and random low carb veggies some of which I would never normally buy, also random cheeses that I haven't bought in a while, I only snack on peanut butter and mixed nuts, and love the fact I can eat as many eggs as I like as they are my favourite food

you should be careful with the eggs, too many and your colesterol will shoot through the roof....

I wouldn't worry about cholesterol in your diet. Here's a couple of interesting documentaries that shed some light on the subject....

... interestingly the channel (ABC Australia) faced pressure to pull the second episode.

I put weight on since I switched to vaping. I think part of it is actually being able to taste food now !! I was underweight before though so now I am about right, seem to have hit a level. I also think the flavour of juice has an effect in relation to hunger. I mostly use fruit menthol flavours which arent particulary sweet, but if I have a really sweet strawberry or custard type of vape then I would be less likely to snack.

i think it does help with the sweet tooth if you have sweet juices that's for sure

I'd been thinking about this as well. I find myself reaching for my vape rather than a snack when I've got the urge to snack. I've even put down whatever I was having to have a vape instead, even when it wasn't horribly bad for me! Every time I've quit smoking (I've quit several times over the years, for several years each time), I've gained. This time, I've lost a little bit, thanks to vaping!

I find that I now just lob my Panzer at one of the bickering teenagers instead of mindless smacking.
