Insulin resistance, smoking = weight gain? Cessation = weight loss?About two years ago I picked up a cigarette, and I started to gain a lot of weight rather quickly. I don't overeat or anything like that, and I am physically active. I had quit before in the past and had lost weight which isn't the average response, but I was wondering if there is a link between insulin resistance and smoking? I have IR, but does it make a difference if I quit? Will I lose weight again when I do? And do most people with IR experience weight loss when they quit smoking? If anyone can answer this question it would be most helpful. I keep thinking if I quit I will lose weight and my body will respond to the insulin better and then I could achieve my goal, but if I am wrong then I want to know too. =)
I hope that means I will lose weight. I can work out a lot, and I don't seem to lose as much weight as I want right now that I am smoking...... hopefully quitting will help that. Does anyone else have a situation similar to this? and what were the results?

Yes if you quit you will lose weight again.
