I quit smoking cigarettes 6 weeks ago and I’ve gained 8 pounds in that time. I’m currently working out with my trainer 3 times a week but my metabolism is shot because my body is still trying to adjust to no more cigarettes.

    Good news is: your metabolism is not shot. If it was you would be dead now. But nicotine suppresses hunger. And might speed up your metabolism a tiny bit. So the course of action should be clear: deal with the hunger and eat a bit less.
