Losing Weight And Smoking Marijuana.
Posted: 07-31-07 15:10pm

Now i dont know where to put this so if its in the wrong section i apologize. But my dilemma is this. I recently started to work out and enjoy it and losing weight because of it. However, i do smoke weed and i do get munchies which ofcourse when your trying to lose weight its a major obstacle. I dont feel like im making as much progress as i should be because of that. Second, i really dont want to stop smoking, i enjoy it and it unwinds me after a hard days work and then the gym. If i dont smoke sometimes it leads to insomnia as i am restless and cant go to sleep. Is there anything? any herbs or any natural substance that "kill" the munchies so i can still smoke.
Thank you for your time.

p.s.
yes i know i should stop smoking weed, i will when im ready, if ever. So please lets not have 700 posts on that.

I found out that when I baked it in brownies, my munchies were lessened considerably. I don't know if that would work for you or not. I also enjoyed the baked goods better- the high was longer, the green lasted longer, it was a smoother experience all around for me.

I also tried to be smarter than my tastebuds Laughing and I stocked up on bottled water...everytime I wanted something to munch, I would take huge drinks of water and that generally subsided it. I also stocked up on healthy snacks like fruit and airpopped popcorn in the house. I also would tell myself that "you're not hungry...it's just the weed...you're not hungry...it's just the weed..."

For me, it was a mindgame, but I managed to lose 40+lbs while I was high most of the time.

Hmmm...something else-I don't know how you you eat in general. Like, do you enjoy fast food? Processed foods?

See, I stopped eating those long ago and they no longer even taste good to me now, so when I did the green (I stopped for other reasons) I didnt' even desire that crap. Maybe if you (need to) change your diet all around that will help you get into better habits in general.

Good luck! I managed to lose that weight and keep it off and I am very happy with my health and appearance now. It is worth the work!

WOW, thats exactly what im doing except i dont bake it because thats too much weed to put in. lol. I just dont want to feel the hunger pangs thats what i dont want, but im looking for somethig where i just wont get the need to eat. i dont eat fast foods or sodas, my stomach just doesnt like it anymore. what i pretty much mean is that i dont want to eat anything.
my snacks are usually yogurt with fruits and granola bars. yea they are low in fat but they still have fat.
