I love weed but my personal problem with it is the overeating. I get the munchies so hard i always eat way too much. I want to lose weight but it feels almost impossible while smoking weed. And tips or tricks against it?

    You could prepare healthy snacks before (!) smoking.

    some inspiration:

    -vegetable sticks with hummus/guacamole

    -fruits (frozen grapes are awesome)

    -roasted chickpeas

    -popcorn (without drenching it in butter)

    Drink a bunch of cold water when you smoke, and try to keep yourself busy.

    I also try to avoid eating too much while stoned since it becomes a hassle to manage taking insulin for everything, and those two things work well for me.

        Some strains make me hungrier, and usually indica makes me have munchies more than sativa, not always though, lol.

      Jolly ranchers are my go to. Not a health food by any means, but they last so long it keeps my calorie consumption way down.

    I just try to be active enough to outweigh it. I’ve seen… limited success.

    I count my calories with an app so I know how much I can eat, and still lose weight. And I wait to eat until after I vape. Other than that I try to stay busy. Lately I’ve been using an app to learn to play musical instruments, and learning music and feeling like I’m playing a video game keeps me from thinking about eating lol.

    I resisted the munchies enough times in a row that I don’t get them anymore. I have friends who have done it also so I know it’s a thing and not just me

    My job.

    Sometimes I plan to eat breakfast and / or lunch but I get into my stride and forget. Coffee and adrenaline usually keeps me going.

    I might grab some toast or a quick sandwich during the day but usually my largest meal is dinner and we make sure we eat as healthy as we can.

    Big dinners with vegetables and minerals and all that good stuff.

    Then we demolish whatever sweet thing is in the house.

    Rinse and repeat.

    Sometimes it’s just inevitable to eat your ass off. I like to have fresh vegetables and fruit ready and available. You can eat a ton of that and be nice and full without blowing through 2000 calories.

    When I get high, I always have a bunch of watery fruit and veggies available. I’ve eaten entire pineapples before.

    You gotta make sure you have nothing but fruits & veggies available. Nothing else but those things.

    Fills you up faster, is healthier & doesn’t leave you with large shits usually. Unlike a lot of junkfood does.
