Smoking interferes with taste, and therefore every food tastes better after you quit.
Food tastes so much better that many people eat more and therefore gain weight.
Dramatically increase your consumption of raw fruits and vegetables and stop eating before you feel full.
It takes about 20 minutes for the message to get from your stomach to your head that you are full.
If you are still hungry then eat some more.
This way you should keep your weight well under control.
Sunflower seeds, especially the raw ones are very healthy for you so I certainly wouldn't stop eating them. Just make sure you don't overeat in the area of meat and cooked things.
I know I used to be a size 18 and for the last 10 years have been able to effortlessly keep my weight down to a size 10.
I switched to ditilled water, which cleanses the body.
The main things I did were to eat smaller portions, by reducing my meat and cooked food consumption, and eat all the raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that I wanted. and I don't mean small amounts of the nuts and seeds.
I eat over 50 pounds of raw nuts and seeds yearly.
I am much healthier, and have lived almost totally pain free since I made these changes. I feel much better than I did 20 years ago.
It will take some time for your body to get used to not smoking so be patient with yourself, keep up the good work (quitting), and your body will come back into balance, and you will lose any excess weight you initially might gain.
A homeopathic physician could help you with the transition to non-smoker, and make it much easier for you.

I smoked for 38 years, just had open heart, 4 bypasses. The best way to quit is to go "cold turkey", endure the cravings with nothing in your mouth as a substitute. But understand if you feel you have to, but the biggest part is stopping the habit and just as we eat potato chips and snacks it's hard to stop. To just cut back is only a partial withdrawal and few people ever stop like that. If I can stop after 40 years cold and a 3 pack a day habit, then anyone can that wants to bad enough.

Yes! Try to drink green tea and eat some more fruits so you can stop eating sunflower seeds that much!

Nuts and seeds are full of fat BUT it's the good fat...you do need to watch how much you intake. I love nuts/and especially sunflower seeds but limit my servings! Just balance your good fats with some healthy green salads and veggies.
And a big CONGRADS on quitting smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say, yes, considering the amount you are eating. Chew sugarless gum instead. Congrats on stopping smoking. I did it 2 years ago, and can breathe a lot better.
