Weight-loss is certainly a talking-point at the moment and you may have heard in passing that some people have been using vaping as weight-loss tool. But, does vaping make you lose weight, or is this belief based on misinformation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to weight-loss, there\u2019s been some down-right peculiar methods and suggestions throughout the years. Readers of vogue in the 70\u2019s may have been tempted by their highly questionable white wine and eggs diet[i]<\/a>. In the 80\u2019s you could have experienced the delights of the Grapefruit diet (which actually originated in the 1930\u2019s)[ii]<\/a>. The 90\u2019s and 2000\u2019s was the period that embraced the resurgence of the Atkins\u2019 Diet[iii]<\/a>. Of course, one can’t talk about weightloss without mentioning weight-loss injections, which have been hitting the headlines more than ever recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, is this decade set to be the one remembered for the introduction of the vaping diet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We certainly hope not, as the entire intention of vapes is to help people quit smoking. But even we are curious to learn, can vaping make you lose weight, and if so, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Vapes Have Calories?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mere mention of calories can have some people reaching for the nearest kettlebell and clutch of kale. But the fact is – we need calories for our bodies to function. According to the NHS, an average man requires 2,500 kcal per day and the average woman needs 2000 kcal each day[iv]<\/a>. To remain the same weight you need to consume equal calories to the calories you use. Now, this doesn\u2019t mean that you should go out and scoff 2500 kcal\u2019s worth of cakes and biscuits. No, your daily calorific intake should ideally come from nutritious food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think about the variety of sweet flavoured vapes available, it seems logical to think that vapes could actually contain calories. And since sweets are a no-go for the weight-conscious, do these types of vapes contain the kind of calories that\u2019ll have you piling on the pounds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sweeteners we use in our vapes don\u2019t contain any calories. However, the vegetable glycerine used in vapes does contain calories, but this is in very small amounts<\/a>. So, you can enjoy the sweet taste of Mr Wicked\u2019s Twisted Ice Cream<\/a>, or Red Label\u2019s Caramel flavour<\/a> without worrying the sweet-tasting liquids will add inches to your waistline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One in 22 vapers in England vape to control their weight, and one in 50 replace meals or snacks with vaping[v]<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So our vape liquids\u2019 sweeteners don\u2019t contain calories, but this doesn\u2019t give much insight into why people may find they lose weight when they vape. Is there anything in vapes, like nicotine, that could contribute to any reported weight-loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Nicotine Make You Lose Weight?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ex-smokers may find they gain weight when they first stop smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many potential reasons for this, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
